Did these quotes get your eyebrows up? Good. That's the point.

As The Intrigue Expert, I have studied the art and science of “intrigue” for 20+ years.

Intrigue is “the ability to pique curiosity, to capture interest.”

One of the most important things I've learned is that people are BBB. Busy. Bored. Been there-heard-that. They make up their mind in the first 60 seconds whether we're worth their valuable time, mind and dime.

To quickly capture someone's favorable attention;
we need to say something they haven't heard before.

Classic quotes (which often come across as clichés) don't have the power do that.

As soon as we roll out a familiar saying, people roll their eyes and tune out.

It's not that profound quotes from Winston Churchill, John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King and Ralph Waldo Emerson aren't true, they're just not new.

So, what can we do?

We can introduce intriguing quotes from today's icons that get people's eyebrows up.

What do I mean by “get people's eyebrows up?”

Try it right now. Arch your eyebrows.

Do you feel curious? Do you want to know more?

That means an idea just got in your mental door.

Instead of being boring or obvious, it's intriguing.

Being intriguing is our goal as communicators....(which is why my NEXT book is The Eyebrow Test: How to Intrigue Anyone in Anything in 60 Seconds)

Current Quotes is a treasure trove of intriguing insights from TODAY'S top influencers and innovators (you have to be alive to be included).

These 50 word or less insights have the power to make your day - and the day of anyone who's reading your work, listening to your presentation, visiting your website or watching your video.

Some of the quotes are profound, some inspiring, some provocative, some funny, some counter-intuitive. All pass The Eyebrow Test and have the power to act as a mood vitamin.

You may be tempted to read this book all at once. You might want to use the index to find a quote on a particular topic or by a favorite author.

Go ahead.

But then go back. Keep this book handy by your desk, kitchen table or nightstand.

Take one minute to read and savor that day's quote as part of your morning ritual.

Ask yourself, "How is this quote relevant for me and my readers/listeners/viewers?

How can it help us remember to be more grateful, more giving, more gracious?

How can it help us lighten up and keep a sense of humor about our circumstances?

How can I incorporate it into my work to make it more thought-provoking?"
