In an oversaturated culture defined by limited time and focus, how do we draw attention to our messages, our ideas, and our products when we only have seconds to compete?
Award-winning consultant and speaker Sally Hogshead turned to a wide realm of disciplines, including neurobiology, psychology, and evolutionary anthropology. She began to see specific and interesting patterns that all centered on one element: fascination.
Fascination is the most powerful way to capture an audience and influence behavior. This essential book, newly revised and updated, examines the principles behind fascination and explores how those insights can be put to use to sway:
Structured around the seven languages of fascination Hogshead has studied and developed—power, passion, innovation, alarm, mystique, prestige, and alert—Fascinate explores how anyone can use these triggers to make products, messages, and services more fascinating—and more successful.
"A transformative work, a beautifully written book that will forever change the way you see the world." —Seth Godin, author of Linchpin
"A riveting journey through the forces of fascination—how it irresistibly shapes our ideas, opinions, and relationships—and how to wield it to your advantage." —Alan Webber, co-found, Fast Company and author of Rules of Thumb
"This slight but practical work packs a big punch." —Publishers Weekly
