The New York Times bestselling authors of Switch and Made to Stick explore why certain brief experiences can jolt us and elevate us and change us—and how we can learn to create such extraordinary moments in our life and work.

While human lives are endlessly variable, our most memorable positive moments are dominated by four elements: elevation, insight, pride, and connection. If we embrace these elements, we can conjure more moments that matter. What if a teacher could design a lesson that he knew his students would remember twenty years later? What if a manager knew how to create an experience that would delight customers? What if you had a better sense of how to create memories that matter for your children?

This book delves into some fascinating mysteries of experience: Why we tend to remember the best or worst moment of an experience, as well as the last moment, and forget the rest. Why “we feel most comfortable when things are certain, but we feel most alive when they’re not.” And why our most cherished memories are clustered into a brief period during our youth.

Readers discover how brief experiences can change lives, such as the experiment in which two strangers meet in a room, and forty-five minutes later, they leave as best friends. (What happens in that time?) Or the tale of the world’s youngest female billionaire, who credits her resilience to something her father asked the family at the dinner table. (What was that simple question?)

Many of the defining moments in our lives are the result of accident or luck—but why would we leave our most meaningful, memorable moments to chance when we can create them? The Power of Moments shows us how to be the author of richer experiences.

Why do you read a book?
To learn more about a particular topic, to get some insights the same by some experienced people.
Alot of research is usually out into any book to deliver the right kind of information. I have read quite a many books and every book offers a different perspective. But it is theoretical. But what about after gaining that knowledge? How do you use it practically?
power of moments, teaches you more of practical usage of concepts which should ideally be the aim of every author, to teach the readers to be able to use the knowledge practically. This is by far the best book I have read. Every concept is jumping out from the book, getting right into your mind so that you know exactly how to use it in real life.
For aspiring entrepreneurs, even ceos and young millennials who wish to achieve success by being creative in their respective fields, this book is a must read. It teaches you how to think. And not merely learn.

Chip Heath and Dan Heath are two of my favorite authors and their books, Made to Stick and Switch, are my all time favorites — having read and reread them many times. When I heard they have written a new book titled “The Power of Moments: Why Certain Experiences Have Extraordinary Impact”, I definitely wanted to read it. And I had an opportunity to read it in 2018 immediately after Daniel Pink’s “When”.

The Power of Moments — Why Certain Experiences Have Extraordinary Impact is a fantastic book. Like their previous books, Chip and Dan Heath are able to bring out the concept so well and also present it in a manner that the message ‘sticks’.

What I liked about the book most are the practical takeaways. Like the previous books, the lessons of the book are about simple adjustments in your life that can have a massive impact. And, as a professional, there is a strong connection for everyday situations quoted by Heath brothers. Finally, I loved that there were so many examples from India in the book.

Overall I loved and adored the book. There were several lessons and a key theme which stuck with me. However, it wasn’t the best of Chip and Dan Heath. Unlike the kidney story in Made to Stick or the concepts in Switch, there is no main highlight. The progression of insight with every page was low as well. Despite that, definitely a good investment of time. I will go with 4 out of 5 stars.

Useful guide for creating moments on both personal and professional fronts

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 December 2017

All of us have defining moments in our life. These moments are so etched in our memories that we recount them with enthusiasm to our friends. In the pangs of despair, we are ready to trade anything to revisit some of these moments. In this book, the Heath brothers namely Chip and Dan, tell us about the power of these defining moments. Furthermore, they also show us how to create such moments in our lives, both professional and personal.

Anyone can summarise the importance of defining moments and the way in which to create these moments in a few pages. So it is a difficult task to keep the reader engrossed and glued to the power. For this purpose, the authors dedicate a majority of the book into four section corresponding to the four elements which create moments. At the end of each section, there is a summary and a clinic. You can use the former as a cheat sheet while the latter gives you a scenario to practice. Moreover, each of these sections has numerous examples taken from individuals and companies.

You can finish the book on a long haul flight. That is how simple and engaging the book is. All of us know the power of moments as we all have experienced it. But we may struggle with creating those moments for others. It is here the books helps us. We can use these principles and hacks in both our personal and professional life.

Highly readable, instantly engaging, and packed with thought-provoking and interesting stories of how some experiences stand out and, as importantly, why they do so.

The authors offer stimulating ideas on how to create them with a good use of anecdotes and examples, and a clearly articulated rationale.

Whether it is for colleagues or customers, family or friends - this book inspires the reader to look to create memories and experiences that will stick in the mind and further inspire others to design more of the same.

A memorable and inspirational read.

Repetitive, simple language that verges on insulting the reader, examples seemed cliched. There were a couple good points, but I stretch to remember what those were, unfortunately.
