Publisher Description
We weten allemaal dat het moeilijk is om te veranderen. Het kost veel tijd en vaak geven we op bij de eerste tegenslag. Maar waarom zien we wel de beren op de weg en niet de bestemming?
Deze vraag beantwoorden Chip en Dan Heath in dit fascinerende boek. We hoeven slechts te begrijpen hoe onze hersenen werken om snelle veranderingen in ons gedrag te realiseren. Op basis van wetenschappelijke studies en opmerkelijke casestudy's laten ze zien dat ogenschijnlijk simpele methodes leiden tot fantastische resultaten.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The Heath brothers (coauthors of Made to Stick) address motivating employees, family members, and ourselves in their analysis of why we too often fear change. Change is not inherently frightening, but our ability to alter our habits can be complicated by the disjunction between our rational and irrational minds: the self that wants to be swimsuit-season ready and the self that acquiesces to another slice of cake anyway. The trick is to find the balance between our powerful drives and our reason. The authors' lessons are backed up by anecdotes that deal with such things as new methods used to reform abusive parents, the revitalization of a dying South Dakota town, and the rebranding of megastore Target. Through these lively examples, the Heaths speak energetically and encouragingly on how to modify our behaviors and businesses. This clever discussion is an entertaining and educational must-read for executives and for ordinary citizens looking to get out of a rut.
