A book on sticky ideas is suspect unless it finds a way to make you remember the mnemonic. It's like being asked to say the prayer after a sunday school lesson on saying prayers. You better get it right. Sounds like it's worth a read but it got bumped down a few places in the queue. Thanks for the update Elton.

The stories were interesting and I enjoyed reading them. The points addressed by the authors seemed to be common sense. If you think about what makes you remember an idea, you will know what's in the book. I don't think the book will help me present my ideas in ways that are more memorable - I can't even remember what SUCCESs (the mnemonic the authors used to help you remember how to make an idea stick) stands for. The authors point out that stories are effective ways to help people remember ideas. I agree and would like to use stories more when presenting ideas. I think it is worth a quick read.

Will let you know what I think once I read it. I’m #3 on the on-hold list at the library. Will let you know what I think once I read it.
