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?

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."
