In Made to Stick, Chip and Dan Heath reveal the anatomy of ideas that stick and explain ways to make ideas stickier, such as applying the human scale principle, using the Velcro Theory of Memory, and creating curiosity gaps. Along the way, we discover that sticky messages of all kinds—from the infamous “kidney theft ring” hoax to a coach’s lessons on sportsmanship to a vision for a new product at Sony—draw their power from the same six traits.

What insight do you think you’ll apply from Made to Stick?
There were many insights, but 2 that I have already began implementing is starting with emotion before fact and making ideas concrete.

Katrina. Haiti. BP. Fukushima. The Great Recession. Those are just a few of the catastrophic disruptions the world has endured in recent years. As we try to respond to such crises, key questions arise: What causes one system to break under great stress and another to rebound? How much change can a complex system absorb while still retaining its purpose and function? What characteristics make it adaptive to change? Provocative and eye-opening, Resilience sheds light on the nature of change.

Forget the strongest survive, it's the resilient.
Revisado: 11-28-12
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. Great book especially for business thinkers.
What other book might you compare Resilience to and why?
Comparable to "Switch: How to change things when change is hard" by Chip Heath & Dan Heath
Which scene was your favorite?
There were a few memorable stories but the one that recounted the story when bankers had to decide whether to save Lehman Brothers or not was great. Also the whole story of one mans quest to save the orangutan through various methods was inspirational as well as thought provoking.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No. It was one of those books that one wishes to pause at certain break points to ponder what one read. It was a book I went back and listened to again.
Any additional comments?
With the current world economic and environmental conditions, this book gets right down into the foundation of resilience, a skill worth having.
