About Contagious by Jonah Berger:

Contagious: Why Things Catch On examines why certain media goes viral—videos, articles, memes—and others never get shared at all. By looking at popular culture, Wharton professor Jonah Berger analyzes what makes an idea take off.

Based on his own research and the insights gleaned from 15 years of studying marketing, Berger’s New York Times–bestselling book teaches readers why popular content is popular, and how they can make their own ideas and products truly contagious.
