🔖 Summary:
In "Made to Stick," Chip and Dan Heath explain why some ideas are easy to remember while others are lost in the void. They introduce the concept of "sticky" ideas, those that people remember and act on. The key is to make ideas simple, unexpected, concrete, credible, emotional and told through stories. These principles help ideas stick in people's minds.
The book breaks down each of these six principles. For example, making ideas simple means focusing on the core message, while using unexpected twists to grab attention. Concrete details help people understand and remember, and credibility builds trust. By tapping into emotions and telling stories, ideas become even more powerful and memorable.

🔖 What people say about "Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die"?
"When I have enough money to buy books again, I'm planning to build a marketing and communications library. It will consist of three books: "The Tipping Point" by Malcolm Gladwell, "Influence" by Robert Cialdini, and this book, which is maybe the one of the three that knocked me on my butt most often as I was reading it.
This book will be highly useful to any entrepreneur, parent, pastor/rabbi, teacher, advertiser, CEO, or other communicator who needs to get his or her point across."
