BESTSELLER • ONE MILLION COPIES SOLD! The ultimate guide to making changes and following through, from the authors of

and
Decisive

The Wall Street Journal

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. 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 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.

• 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.
shows that successful changes follow a pattern, a pattern you can use to make the changes that matter to you.
