Book: "Made to Stick" by Chip Heath & Dan Heath

This book was recommended to me by a Randy Watson.

In the introduction the authors ask "are ideas born interesting or made interesting? They then go on to make a compelling arguement for "made."

The authors are a graduate school professor and a research consultant. Their arguement is based upon six principles they found from their research:
  • Principle 1: Simplicity
  • Principle 2: Unexpectedness
  • Principle 3: Concreteness
  • Principle 4: Credibility
  • Principle 5: Emotions
  • Principle 6: Stories

Good book that I'm sure I'll circle back to for insight many times.
