Ideas that spread win. Ideas don't have to be selfish to win, in fact, it turns out that the more generous the interactions an idea produces, the more likely it is to spread.

When you focus on delighting an audience you care about, you strip the masses of their power.

If you're considering word of mouth, stability and lifetime value, it's almost always true that the easier it is to get someone's attention, the less it's worth.

Organize your reality according to your strength organize your reality according to your playfulness according to your dreams according to your joy according to your hopes - and then you can help those who organize their reality according to their fears.

If you are love with the perfect, prepare to see it swept away. If you are able to dream of the impossible, it just might happen.

We've discovered that the earth isn't flat that we won't fall off its edges, and our experience as a species has changed as a result. Maybe we'll soon find out that the self isn't flat either, and that death is as real and yet as deceptive as the horizon that we don't fall out of life either.

It's never too late to redefine self-control, to change long-ingrained habits, and to do the work you're capable of.

Consciousness is, among other things, a spontaneous exercise in creativity.

Powerful advertising is anticipated, personal, and relevant.

Image
And yet the real success goes to those who obsess. The focus that leads you through the Dip to the other side is rewarded by a marketplace in search of the best in the world. A woodpecker can tap twenty times on a thousand trees and get nowhere, but stay busy. Or he can tap twenty-thousand times on one tree and get dinner.

Either you’re going to tell stories that spread, or you will become irrelevant.

Don’t try to change someone’s worldview is the strategy smart marketers follow. Don’t try to use facts to prove your case and to insist that people change their biases. You don’t have enough time and you don’t have enough money. Instead, identify a population with a certain worldview, frame your story in terms of that worldview and you win.
