The document discusses the "Law of Hype" and how the amount of hype for a product or idea is often disproportionate to its actual success. It provides examples of hyped products and ideas that ultimately failed, such as personal helicopters in the 1940s and New Coke in 1985, which both received massive hype but did not meet expectations. The document advises that when a company relies heavily on hype for a new product, it often means the product or plan is weak and may fail, so traditional marketing approaches are better than hype.
