About this listen

A newly revised and updated edition of the influential guide that explores one of the most powerful ways to attract attention and influence behavior - fascination - and how businesses, products, and ideas can become irresistible to consumers.

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 have only 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 examines the principles behind fascination and explores how those insights can be put to use to sway:

  • Which brand of frozen peas you pick in the case
  • Which city, neighborhood, and house you choose
  • Which profession and company you join
  • Where you go on vacation
  • Which book you buy off the shelf

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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

A listening easy to transform into action

Excellent content. It opens your mind, makes you think about your brand and how you are selling it through the markets. It made merevise past errors and gave me a better understanding about why some brands captivate us.
The pdf material is very important but don't read till you understand correctly how to use it.
It has helped me a lot on the first listening but As I kept on going deeper into the book I decided to buy the book so I could revise some specific parts.
Great book whatever your profession is, you can use it for your brand, your personal brand or even for sales presentations in order to have a better result.

Can't hear her laughing about her own jokes...

No doubt an interesting and important text. But can't stand her chuckling about her own (not always intelligent) jokes. There is sth for professional actors reading texts...

Reasonable insights but

There are some interesting insights here, but there is too much cod psychology (where the author cherrypicks a few studies and applies it to other scenarios) - presumably to enhance the credibility of the author.

For someone with a degree in psychology, a lot of it came across as made up or tenuous.

I would much rather the author shared insights from their own decades of experience, but perhaps this appeal to authority is part of their sales shtick.

A spotlight from the strange world of branding

Sometimes a book is useful because it provides new knowledge.
Sometimes it is useful because it challenges your world view.
Sometimes it is useful simply because it asks the right questions.

This book is firmly in the third category.
If you are looking for a quick 'cheat sheet' on how to use branding in your business, this will force you to ask the right questions and that's half the battle.

fascinating listen

came to this book after I heard the author on a well known podcast and was intrigued by her message and approach to the subject of what fascinates -- the book did not disappoint - there is so much useful material in both the book and the accompanying PDFs.
