Why is it so hard to make lasting changes in our companies, in our communities, and in our own lives?
The primary obstacle is a conflict that’s built into our brains, say Chip and Dan Heath, authors of the critically acclaimed bestseller Made to Stick . Psychologists have discovered that our minds are ruled by two different systems—the rational mind and the emotional mind—that compete for control. The rational mind wants a great beach body; the emotional mind wants that Oreo cookie. The rational mind wants to change something at work; the emotional mind loves the comfort of the existing routine. This tension can doom a change effort—but if it is overcome, change can come quickly.
In Switch, the Heaths show how everyday people—employees and managers, parents and nurses—have united both minds and, as a result, achieved dramatic results:
● The lowly medical interns who managed to defeat an entrenched, decades-old medical practice that was endangering patients.
● The home-organizing guru who developed a simple technique for overcoming the dread of housekeeping.
● The manager who transformed a lackadaisical customer-support team into service zealots by removing a standard tool of customer service
In a compelling, story-driven narrative, the Heaths bring together decades of counterintuitive research in psychology, sociology, and other fields to shed new light on how we can effect transformative change. Switch shows that successful changes follow a pattern, a pattern you can use to make the changes that matter to you, whether your interest is in changing the world or changing your waistline.

评分一年前,当美国总统奥巴马在国会山广场上高呼“We need change(我们需要改变)!”时,或许没有多少人真正能够认识到,这场变革的方向何在,其间的难度又有多大。 同样,在商业社会中,变革的呼声不绝于耳,但是,真正能够顺利启动变革项目,并取得成功的变革却寥寥可数。为什...

评分适合各种想做改变不知如何的人
评分像 Predictably Irrational 这类的书都只是“发现”人类行为中的一些“有趣现象”,而这本书则更进一步,讲究的是怎么应用。这本跟哥俩上一本,Made to Stick,一样好。我看完之后的一个突出感受是中国的改革过程中其实也使用了一些书里提到的手段,很遗憾此书只字未提中国。美中不足,这些“改变”都不涉及对利益集团的伤害。
评分某一期wired上推荐的,脑残粉表示字字珠玑。
评分强烈推荐,非小说类经典。How to Change Things When Change Is Hard
