Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. Unabashedly inspired by Malcolm Gladwell's bestselling The Tipping Point, the brothers Heath—Chip a professor at Stanford's business school, Dan a teacher and textbook publisher—offer an entertaining, practical guide to effective communication. Drawing extensively on psychosocial studies on memory, emotion and motivation, their study is couched in terms of "stickiness"—that is, the art of making ideas unforgettable. They start by relating the gruesome urban legend about a man who succumbs to a barroom flirtation only to wake up in a tub of ice, victim of an organ-harvesting ring. What makes such stories memorable and ensures their spread around the globe? The authors credit six key principles: simplicity, unexpectedness, concreteness, credibility, emotions and stories. (The initial letters spell out "success"—well, almost.) They illustrate these principles with a host of stories, some familiar (Kennedy's stirring call to "land a man on the moon and return him safely to the earth" within a decade) and others very funny (Nora Ephron's anecdote of how her high school journalism teacher used a simple, embarrassing trick to teach her how not to "bury the lead"). Throughout the book, sidebars show how bland messages can be made intriguing. Fun to read and solidly researched, this book deserves a wide readership. (Jan. 16)

From Booklist
Based on a class at Stanford taught by one of the authors, this book profiles how some ideas "stick" in our minds while the majority fall by the wayside. Urban legends, conspiracy theories, and compelling advertising make up much of the intrinsically interesting examples that the Heaths profile that qualify for "stickiness." This book explores what makes social epidemics "epidemic" and, as the Heaths cite from Malcolm Gladwell's Tipping Point (2000), defines the secret recipe that makes an idea viral. The principles of stickiness are examined--an unexpected outcome, lots of concrete details that we remember, emotion, simplicity, and credibility--all packaged in an easily told story format. Taking these five stickiness attributes, the book offers numerous examples of how these properties make up the stories we are all familiar with--the urban legend about kidney theft and the razor blades supposedly lurking in Halloween candy. Exercises, checklists, and other tools are sprinkled throughout the book to help the reader understand and test how stickiness can be applied to their ideas, whether they are teachers, parents, or CEOs.

那次听演讲比赛,同一个题目,有人讲得国色生香,让人听得津津有味,而有的却讲得生涩难懂,让人昏昏欲睡,为什么会有如此的反差呢?当时只简单地归结为有的人表达好,有的人不会表达。 为什么有的人表达好,而有的人不好呢?这似乎只可意会不可言传,只能统统归结为天赋,与...

评分阅读《让创意更有黏性》这本书时,有一个观点让我印象非常深刻,那就是:“知识的诅咒”。 一旦我们知道某样东西,我们就会发现很难想象不知道它是什么样子。我们的知识“诅咒”了我们。对于我们来说同别人分享我们的知识变得很困难,因为我们不易重造我们听众的...

评分简单,清晰,有逻辑。是需要别人buy in的沟通者所必备的良药。
评分无甚亮点。
评分现在听这些nonfiction总是觉得很重复,可能是类似东西读了很多了。给我印象最深的是curse of knowledge,就是一旦拥有了的知识就很难去设身处地想象没有这个知识的人该怎样接受这个知识了。对于教课有点启发。
评分英文非常简洁易读,传播学基础
评分其实写得很一般,噱头太多了,心理学描写的很好,五个concept很好,但偏见色彩浓郁,读来一笑罢了
