Inside Part III: The StoryBook<br />

(Likeonomics in Action)<br />

If you are the sort of reader who likes to skip the theory and go straight<br />

to the stories and case studies that bring each idea to life, you will<br />

appreciate this section. In many ways, you are my favorite audience to<br />

write for—because I share your impatience.<br />

In addition to the dozens of stories I share throughout this book, this<br />

final section spotlights a collection of examples of the principles behind<br />

Likeonomics at work. It includes everything from the little known story<br />

ofwhat might be the happiest country on Earth, to the website that has<br />

turned the world of education upside down.<br />

Stories are what inspire each of us, but they also have to feel<br />

relevant (remember, that’s one of the principles!). So each story will also<br />

be indexed by geographic region and industry so you can browse them<br />

to identify the ones that feel closest to your own personal situation.<br />

In addition, this StoryBook will be a living part of Likeonomics<br />

online, with new stories getting consistently added to the website. You<br />

can always visit www.likeonomics.com/storybook to read additional<br />

stories, and even add your own story in the online community.<br />
