Fascinate: Your 7 Triggers to Persuasion and Captivation
“Fascination . . . the most powerful of product attachments . . . this pioneering book helps us approach . . . the concept in a thoughtful . . . practical manner.” —Tom Peters, national bestselling author of In Search of Excellence
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:
• 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.
“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
