Power of Moments, The: Why Certain Experiences Have Extraordinary Impact

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 brothers gave one more stunning book with the magical moments experienced by everyone and which can be replicated in every moment those who feel it and design it..well written..must read book..

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.

One of the few books I can truly claim as life-changing. It was a page turner, and helped me become aware of the power of moments in our lives

Excellent book. Makes you look at service from a different perspective.

Good

Good read - highlights the power of certain moments and how they can have a significant impact on our lives. Also, this book gives us useful tips to create those moments. Does get boring at places, but a good read overall.

If you are a person who wants to have an impact on people, this book is a must read! It’s extremely insightful in the most practical way. Great stories with unique applications. I’ve bought this book for friends as gifts, work colleagues as a professional development exercise, and have reread mine at least 3 times. My pages are dog eared, highlighted, and tattered from so much use. Fantastic book!

Great book

Si te gusta aprender cómo organizar experiencias memorables y cómo hacer que pequeños momentos valgan mucho, entonces no puedes quedarte sin leerlo

Dieses Autoren-Duo ist schon unglaublich stark und hat auch hier wieder ein ganz besonderes Buch geschrieben.Die Grundidee: es sind besondere Momente, die uns in Erinnerung bleiben und die so letztlich auch unser Leben mitbestimmen. Was bleibt von einem bestimmten Abschnitt in unserem Leben? Woran erinnern wir uns? Sind es positive Erinnerungen oder negative? Es ist gar nicht die Frage, ob das Leben immer einfach war. Es kann auch ruhig schwer und anstrengend gewesen sein. Solange es besondere "Peak"-Momente gab, werden wir uns an diese erinnern und so werden sie die Erinnerung an den ganzen Abschnitt bestimmen. Das Buch hat zwei Ziele: 1) werden diese besonderen Peak-Momente analysiert (was kennzeichnet sie? was haben sie gemeinsam?) und 2) wird aufgezeigt, wie man solche Peak-Momente selber erzeugen kann! D.h. das Buch hat auch einen sehr praktischen Nutzen.Am stärksten fand ich den ersten Abschnitt "Elevation", in dem es darum geht, wie man eben besondere Momente, die aus dem Alltäglichen herausragen, schafft. Die nächsten Abschnitte "Insight", "Pride" und "Connection", in denen es jeweils um bestimmte Aspekte von besonderen Momenten geht, fand ich persönlich etwas schwächer.Insgesamt für mich daher ein Buch zwischen vier und fünf Sternen. Jeder kann hier aber etwas mitnehmen und lernen, wie er für sich, seine Freunde oder seine Familie, für seine Mitarbeiter oder seine Schüler und Studenten besondere Momente schaffen kann, die ihnen in Erinnerung beiben und ihr Leben bereichern werden!

Os Heath Brothers mais uma vez emplacam uma obra muito bem amarrada de didática impecável.A abordagem é inovadora e busca responder por que algumas experiências possuem um impacto extraordinário. Os autores estudaram este momentos "especiais" e –como de costume– desenvolveram um modelo para sistematizar a ocorrência destes momentos. O modelo é composto por 4 passos fundamentais:ELEVATION: Estas são: experiências sensoriais intensas; momentos arriscados; momentos em que estamos diante de uma novidade, como por exemplo, o primeiro beijo.INSIGHT: Estes são os momentos em que nos dá aquele estalo e a nossa maneira de pensar sobre algo é transformada naquele instante. As dicas aqui são para criar situações que façam a pessoa sentir na pele o novo ponto de vista. Uma das palavras usadas é "stretch"que quer dizer esticar, agir e se colocar em novas situações, como por exemplo abrir aquele negócio que você sempre sonhou.PRIDE: São apresentados 3 passos para criar orgulho nas pessoas. O primeiro é o reconhecimento, pense em momentos de gratidão, elogios sinceros e tangenciados àquela pessoa. O segundo são pequenas conquistas que tenham significado, uma forma de partir um objetivo em partes menores que sejam importantes, cada conquista traz mais inspiração. O terceiro passo é a coragem.CONNECTION: Aqui primeiro se fala de shared meaning e a importância do propósito. Este capítulo me lembrou muito do A Quinta Disciplina do Peter Senge. O segundo passo para connection é a criação de laços profundos, algo como o que um bom terapeuta tenta fazer, coisas como entendimento, responsividade, cuidado e validação.O trabalho é recheado de histórias bem emocionantes –não somente emocionantes, as histórias seguem a obra Make it Stick e são, portanto, simples, surpreendentes, vívidas e emocionantes.No entanto, para aplicação dia a dia, alguns dos conceitos acabam se misturando um pouco. Tanto para elevation, quanto para insight e pride, são apresentados passos que em sua essência, propõem a mesma coisa: a busca por novidade e risco.O que pode ser visto como o oposto de "rotina". Algo que haveria de se esperar de "momentos extraordinários". Por si só isso não prejudica a obra, que ilustra o modelo muito bem e é de leitura extremamente agradável.De certa forma a leitura é um "wake up call" para quem tem uma vida que caiu na mesmice, na rotina e pode também ser muito bem aproveitada por profissionais que trabalham com qualquer coisa relacionada a criação e gestão de experiências.
