How to Change Things When Change Is Hard

Book • 2010

In 'Switch', Chip and Dan Heath explore why making lasting changes is difficult due to the conflict between the rational mind and the emotional mind.

They present a framework for successful change by uniting these two minds, drawing on decades of research in psychology, sociology, and other fields.

The book provides compelling examples of how everyday people have achieved dramatic results by following this pattern, whether in personal, organizational, or societal contexts.
