Made to Stick (Chip Heath)


One of the main problems with trying to get an idea to stick is the curse of knowledge. Once we know something, we find it hard to imagine what it was like not to know it. It becomes difficult for us to share our knowledge with others, because we can't readily re-create our listeners' state of mind.

Curiosity happens when we feel a gap in our knowledge. Domains like movies and novels intentionally create this gap to keep readers engaged. To convey knowledge, first convince your audience that they need that knowledge by opening a gap for them. Shift your thinking from "What information do I need to convey?" to "What questions do I want my audience to ask?"

The problem with trying to convey the edifice of all of your knowledge is that you can't fit it all in one 90-minute presentation. At best you can pluck a few building blocks from the roof, which results in meaningless recommendations and platitudes and inauthentic one-liners.
