___________________________________ Change is hard. It doesn't have to be. We all know that change is hard. It's unsettling, it's time-consuming, and all too often we give up at the first sign of a setback. But why do we insist on seeing the obstacles rather than the goal? This is the question that bestselling authors Chip and Dan Heath tackle in their compelling and insightful book. They argue that we need only understand how our minds function in order to unlock shortcuts to switches in behaviour. Illustrating their ideas with scientific studies and remarkable real-life turnarounds - from the secrets of successful marriage counselling to the pile of gloves that transformed one company's finances - the brothers Heath prove that deceptively simple methods can yield truly extraordinary results.

Amazing book that helps you to take action, not simply words, that will allow you to convince others to change a situation. The book is full of real life scenarios and outcomes that demonstrate how this mindset can create powerful results when implemented.
Easy to remember descriptions and real-world application of identifying the Rider(logic), the Elephant(emotions), and the Path(environment)in any change situation. Suggests actions to get these three aspects working together so change can happen and endure. Applies to individuals, teams, couples, corporations, society.
Recommended read for personal & professional development.
Good read. Gave an interesting perspective to a challenge I have been facing - influencing change when you're neither entitled to, or directly responsible for it.
Some interesting stories but I think the underlying conceptual framework of rider, elephant and path is weak. Not recommended.
