Find it and shape it yourself or competitors and customers will do it for you. And we promise, you won t like the tagline.A few years back, a best seller called Why Johnny Can t Read shocked the education establishment and revived the lost art of phonics. Now, Why Johnny Can t Brand blows the lid off the marketing establishment by reviving the lost art of the Big Idea. According to Bill Schley and Carl Nichols, Jr., modern branding is a daily choice between real, muscle-building ideas and an immense smorgasbord of empty-caloried junk. The stakes are huge, especially in a world with 155 kinds of shampoo. So why do so many good companies choose wrong? In fact, why do most fail to differentiate at all handing what some call an unfair advantage to the few who do? The surprising answers, and the exclusive, eight-week prescription to fix it, are here in Why Johnny Can t Brand. The secret is uncovering your Dominant Selling Idea (DSI) the one unifying idea at the center of every brand before you charge ahead with advertising or anything else. The DSI is the thing you do that s superlative, important, believable, memorable and tangible the difference that makes people want to buy you. It puts you in a category of one.In the often funny, page-turning style of two award-winning, former Madison Avenue communicators, Schley and Nichols explain: 1.Why real branding is the opposite of what you think 2.

How to find your Big Idea in about eight weeks then keep it... and so much more.In a world with 300 million messages whizzing by every second, it gives us the ultimate advantage an inspiring, power-packed return to the secret of the idea centered brand. A powerful new theory of human nature suggests that our secret to success as a species is our unique friendlinessBrilliant, eye-opening, and absolutely inspiring--and a riveting read. Hare and Woods have written the perfect book for our time.--Cass R. Sunstein, author of How Change Happens and co-author of NudgeFor most of the approximately 300,000 years that Homo sapiens have existed, we have shared the planet with at least four other types of humans. All of these were smart, strong, and inventive. But around 50,000 years ago, Homo sapiens made a cognitive leap that gave us an edge over other species. What happened?Since Charles Darwin wrote about evolutionary fitness, the idea of fitness has been confused with physical strength, tactical brilliance, and aggression. In fact, what made us evolutionarily fit was a remarkable kind of friendliness, a virtuosic ability to coordinate and communicate with others that allowed us to achieve all the cultural and technical marvels in human history. Advancing what they call the self-domestication theory, Brian Hare, professor in the department of evolutionary anthropology and the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience at Duke University and his wife, Vanessa Woods, a research scientist and award-winning journalist, shed light on the mysterious leap in human cognition that allowed Homo sapiens to thrive.But this gift for friendliness came at a cost. Just as a mother bear is most dangerous around her cubs, we are at our most dangerous when someone we love is threatened by an outsider. The threatening outsider is demoted to sub-human, fair game for our worst instincts. Hare\'s groundbreaking research, developed in close coordination with Richard Wrangham and Michael Tomasello, giants in the field of cognitive evolution, reveals that the same traits that make us the most tolerant species on the planet also make us the cruelest. Survival of the Friendliest offers us a new way to look at our cultural as well as cognitive evolution and sends a clear message: In order to survive and even to flourish, we need to expand our definition of who belongs. In rediscovering these stories about our shared history, we learn who we were, who we are, and who we can be.Adventure can be uncovered in the most unexpected of places. In 1521: Rediscovering the History of the Philippines, author Judy Robinson takes a deep dive into the forgotten stories of Filipinos in the advent of Spanish colonization, beginning with Ferdinand Magellan\'s arrival in the archipelago.Robinson goes on a journey to discover the hidden history of the Philippines and of herself. She shares with us that history consists of more than one story. While reading this book, you will discover that precolonial Filipinos had a complex social structure that was more advanced than previously acknowledged.You\'ll learn that:Trade and commerce flourished in the archipelago even before Magellan\'s arrival.Precolonial Filipinos were expert seafarers with a deep connection to water.Some of the traditions and practices from precolonial times continue to live on today.Through 1521: Rediscovering the History of the Philippines, Robinson hopes to share these stories from history, teach the next generation of the diaspora more about where they come from, and see the different sides of history as a way to find what connects us instead of what divides us.
