'The most interesting, immediately actionable book I've read in quite a while... If life is a series of moments, the Heath brothers have transformed how I plan to spend mine' Adam Grant, bestselling author of ORIGINALS and OPTION B, with Sheryl Sandberg
In this latest New York Times bestseller by the authors of Switch and Made to Stick, Chip and Dan Heath explore why certain brief experiences can jolt, elevate and change us - and how we can learn to create such extraordinary moments in our own life and work.
What if a teacher could design a lesson that he knew his students would remember twenty years later? What if a doctor or nurse knew how to orchestrate moments that would bring more comfort to patients? What if you had a better sense of how to create memories that matter for your children? Many of the defining moments in our lives are the result of accident or luck - but why leave our most meaningful, memorable moments to chance when we can create them?
In The Power of Moments, Chip and Dan Heath explore the stories of people who have created standout moments, from the owners who transformed an utterly mediocre hotel into one of the best-loved properties in Los Angeles by conjuring moments of magic for guests, to the scrappy team that turned around one of the worst elementary schools in the country by embracing an intervention that lasts less than an hour.
Filled with remarkable tales and practical insights, The Power of Moments proves we all have the power to transform ordinary experiences into unforgettable ones.

This terrific book is bursting with practical insights and
memorable stories on every page. It's as relevant to product
designers and entrepreneurs as it is to teachers and parents. I've
already put many of its novel suggestions to work. Don't miss
it.

Flat out amazing... The best business book I've read in a
while.
*Jake Knapp, author of SPRINT*
Chip and Dan are amazing and impactful story tellers. In The Power
of Moments they are able to use stories to display a powerful
truth, that we can be more impactful as leaders and as people by
recognizing and creating more 'moments'. At Virgin Atlantic,
helping our people create such amazing moments for each other and
for our customers is a nice new way of articulating an underlying
goal of great leadership. This book truly frames that thinking in
an easy to understand and engaging way. Perhaps even more
importantly, I can see many similar opportunities in my life as a
husband, father and member of a community.
*Craig Kreeger, CEO of Virgin Atlantic*
A sincere introduction to how readers can shape and improve the
peaks in their own experiences. Infused with positivity and
enthusiasm … Readers hungry for a bigger slice of life will find
this book valuable. Heuristic advice and life-affirming direction
form a gratifying combination in this motivational handbook.

meetings and creating a positive workplace environment.
