Summary
The New York Times best-selling authors of Switch and Made to Stick explore why certain brief experiences can jolt, elevate and change us - and how we can learn to create such extraordinary moments in our life and work.
What if a teacher could design a lesson that he knew his students would remember 20 years later? What if a doctor or nurse knew how to orchestrate moments that would bring more comfort to patients? What if you had a better sense of how to create memories that matter for your children? Many of the defining moments in our lives are the result of accident or luck - but why leave our most meaningful, memorable moments to chance when we can create them?
In The Power of Moments, Chip and Dan Heath explore the stories of people who have created standout moments, from the owners who transformed an utterly mediocre hotel into one of the best-loved properties in Los Angeles by conjuring moments of magic for guests, to the scrappy team that turned around one of the worst elementary schools in the country by embracing an intervention that lasts less than an hour.
Filled with remarkable tales and practical insights, The Power of Moments proves we all have the power to transform ordinary experiences into unforgettable ones.

touchy stories for service business
This book has disappointed me a bit as I was expecting more enlightening discussions. Some sections of the book are interesting but often it does not impress. Many of the points raised in the book are also common sense. There are a few original points only. It involves a lot of touchy stories. The authors are good at telling some meaningful stories but that is all...

Powerful book
Loved it. Really positive book that makes you stop and think about the briefest of interactions we have with people and what they can mean to us and them.

We feel more alive when life is not certain
Chip Heath (professor of Organizational Behavior) and his brother Dan Heath have written this shortish but clever book which describes how short moments in time can have a long lasting impact of people and their lives. Moments are, apparently, what makes life meaningful and this book describes ways in which surprise techniques can be used to influence behaviour, for example the John Deere company has developed a "first day" experience for its new hires that is designed to make a positive first impression. We can achieve our goals by splitting them down into milestones and turning it into a game by introducing playfulness. We all feel alive when life is not totally certain and, whilst I found that there was nothing groundbreaking in this book, it was an entertaining read which I enjoyed.

One of the best Books I've read this year
I will certainly have to re-listen and update this review but for now it's enough to say this book is immensely valuable to anyone looking to understand and harness the power of powerful moments.
A must buy.

Can be appllied today
I really have trouble writing the slightest review without mentioning cliches such as creating a fuller life understanding the world relationship in a better way now. So I’m just going to say that this book is excellent and inspiring positive change, in a practical way, with steps, and at the end of every chapter summaries that help material sink in. Good work!

Inspiring
This book gave me the inspiration to make positive decisions in my business. They may be small in comparison to big companies but they will make a difference to our staff team and the children and families with disabilities who we support.
