While human lives are endlessly variable, our most memorable positive moments are dominated by four elements: elevation, insight, pride, and connection. If we embrace these elements, we can conjure more moments that matter. What if a teacher could design a lesson that he knew his students would remember 20 years later? What if a manager knew how to create an experience that would delight customers? What if you had a better sense of how to create memories that matter for your children?

Nothing new to me
While many of these ideas are awesome, I didn't find them new. Perhaps that is because I have worked in companies that avoided politics and hiring people who are not focused on results.
For people who are in larger slower or more traditional companies, this book would be insightful.

Possibly the worst read in the last decade
This book is arguably the most overrated rubbish I have ever had the misfortune of reading. This is a classic case of the authors not having very much to say at all so they drone on and on rehashing the same storyline chapter for chapter. There is nothing insightful, nothing meaningful and nothing worthwhile about this book. Possibly the worst investment in reading material I have made in a very long time.
