Story
Why do some products get more word of mouth than others? Why does some online content go viral? Word of mouth makes products, ideas, and behaviors catch on. It's more influential than advertising and far more effective. Can you create word of mouth for your product or idea? According to Berger, you can. Whether you operate a neighborhood restaurant, a corporation with hundreds of employees, or are running for a local office for the first time, the steps that can help your product or idea become viral are the same.

Intelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn. In recent months, the pandemic has forced us all to reevaluate our assumptions about health and safety and multiple acts of police brutality have challenged most of us to reconsider our responsibility for fighting racism. Yet in our daily lives, too many of us still favor the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt.

Horribly out of date and largely irrelevant
Like a time warp! Seems many of the laws may not be as immutable as they claim.
Facsimile marketing is no longer a thing.
Yahoo no longer holds the search engine throne
Microsft did invent that box that has internet, tv and gaming
Apple did integrate more than phone calls into a phone
Society does enjoy TV viewing on devices that are not Tv's.
The internet is used for more than banking.
the list goes one.
This book is filled with clangers and thought bombs that did not go off. Be thankful Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Larry Page did not read this book before starting their companies....
The reading itself is very good, especially at 1.6x.

Any additional comments?
I found some of the content dated especially references to brand names and their positioning at the time the book was written. Brands and their performance has changed, it would be great to have the material updated to reflect the changed world. I would listen to an updated edition if available.

Good, but out of date
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Maybe, only if they had no understanding of branding at all.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Made some effort focusing toward small businesses. Almost ever single case study in the book is geared toward large corporations, but I highly doubt the core readership is made up of corporate CEOs and/or Brand Managers.
What about David Drummond’s performance did you like?
It was good, but I am tired of corporate book voice overs always sounding robotic.
Any additional comments?
This book is vastly out of date. Even the portion that relates to the internet is out of date, and I think many of the "laws" they present need to be looked at again, because they have been proven wrong by the success of smaller, more modern brands.
Also, some of the laws talked about outright conflict with each other. It's hard to know which way to turn with the ideas in this book because they seem to be incongruous.

Dated and out of touch with the market today. Very little useful information because of the book’s major focus in later chapters on the internet evolution from an early 2000s perspective when no one really knew what is going to happen and that situation is still persisting.

Indeed Immutable despite dated examples
What did you love best about The 22 Immutable Laws of Branding?
The insights are indeed invaluable.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Examples are dated. An updated version would have been great.
What does David Drummond bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He brings the book to life. I love his narration (what would you call it for non-fiction books?)...I started searching for books he read.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Yes, at times some anecdotes or examples did make me laugh!

Old but gold
The first 11 laws of branding are for physical brands and those are amazing. The last 11 are for internet brands and some of the info is quite dated. what was holding true in the early 2000s no longer applies, so take the last half of the book with a grain of salt. Still very good information through!

Some Laws Proven Wrong
This book was written quite some time ago, during the time that Yahoo was the dominant force of the internet. This gives us an advantage to see if some of the laws are really immutable laws or just theories
Some examples where they got it terribly wrong
1. Amazon should just stick to selling books
2. Apple should stop manufacturing both hardware and software. Just focus on 1
3. TV and internet will never be together
4. palm pilot + telephone + cd player will never become 1 single device
However, many of the laws indeed have been proven to stand the test of time
As for the narrator, I felt as if I was listening to commercial. Never really felt a connection with him

Never predict the future ....
This 22 immutable laws of Branding is painfully dated, the examples given to prove the authors points have often been superseded by a completely different turn of events. This destroys or at least undermines the credibility of the material.
There are nuggets of insight and it is an introduction to the world of branding but on balance I really wouldn't waste your time trawling through this, dated and irritating and often embarrassingly wrong book.
Sorry to be negative but I really cannot recommend.... Disappointing.
