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.****ORIGINAL BOOK DETAILS: The Power of Moments: Why Certain Experiences Have Extraordinary Impact Hardcover - October 3, 2017 by Chip Heath (Author), Dan Heath (Author) Publisher: Simon & Schuster (October 3, 2017) Language: English ISBN-10: 1501147765 ISBN-13: 978-1501147760 #4 in Books > Self-Help > Communication & Social Skills #8 in Books > Self-Help > Relationships > Interpersonal Relations #23 in Books > Health, Fitness & Dieting > Mental Health > Happiness Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Audible Release Date: October 3, 2017 ASIN: B074TZFTDG #7 in Books > Self-Help > Communication & Social Skills ASIN: B06ZY5STD6 1501147765 #5 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Health, Fitness & Dieting > Relationships > Mate Seeking****ABOUT THE AUTHORS:Chip Heath is a professor at Stanford Graduate School of Business, teaching courses on strategy and organizations.
