Synopsis In their previous book MADE TO STICK, the Heath brothers showed business leaders how to make a more indelible impression with their products and services, and the fact that their book clearly "stuck," becoming a huge bestseller and introducing the concept of "stickiness" into the vernacular of American business, serves as pretty compelling evidence as to the veracity of their ideas. In SWITCH, the Heaths focus on how to make changes stick, either at work or at home. Initial changes can often be made fairly easily, but too often we relapse once those changes begin to interfere more drastically with the comfort level we have attached to the status quo. Combining astute evidence from psychological studies with practical advice and real-world examples, the Heaths demonstrate how to find a balance between the rational mind and the emotional mind in order to induce our brains to accept tough changes and reinforce a pattern of acquiescence which makes each change progressively easier to sustain.
