What's You Learn?
Six principles transform forgettable information into ideas that spread like wildfire – Made to Stick by Chip Heath and Dan Heath decodes why some messages stick while others vanish.

  • SUCCESs Framework - Simple, Unexpected, Concrete, Credible, Emotional Stories create sticky ideas
  • Curse of Knowledge - Experts forget what it's like not to know, killing their communication
  • Concrete Language - Replace abstractions with sensory details people can visualize
  • Velcro Theory - Multiple hooks make ideas stick better than single memorable elements
