This book is the outcome of an idea, and the idea is very simple. It is that the best way to understand the dramatic transformation any idea can bring and to successfully bring ideas across, is to think of them as profound insights and moments of clarity often disguised as wit, captured in one single Quote.

Ideas and products and messages and behaviors spread faster when they carry your message in a single line or paragraph: a Quote.

To feel the impact a Quote can have, here are three Passing Quotes from this book:

Before passing different laws for different people, Id relinquish myself unto you as your slave. - Franz Grillparzer

Jack was out kissing babies while I was out passing bills. Someone had to tend the store. - Lyndon B. Johnson

The charms of the passing woman are generally in direct proportion to the swiftness of her passing. - Marcel Proust

Three characteristicsone, contagiousness; two, the fact that little words can have big effects; and three, that insight happens not gradually but at one dramatic moment, using the right profound wordsare the same three principles that define how an idea takes off, or a product goes viral.

Of the three, the third, profound, trait is the most important, because it is the principle that makes sense of the first two and that permits the greatest insight into why some ideas stick, some changes last, some words leave an impression, and others dont.

This book will give you the opportunity to find that right Quote that can change it all.
