Do you want to understand how to make change happen? Whether it’s big change like turning around an entire organization, ever small change like getting to the gym more than once a month, you’ll learn that change of all shapes and sizes is possible. Here’s what you’ll learn from Chip and Dan Heath in this Switch Summary:

- how do direct the “Rider”: the logical and analytical part of yourself;
- how to motivate the “Elephant”: the emotional part of yourself; and
- how to direct the path towards change with both the Elephant and Rider working in unison.

Question of the week (answer to win a copy of the book)

What’s the biggest change you’ve ever undertaken? How did you do it?

    I have made permanent changes to my diet in order to correct my health: easy on the sugar, breads, alcohol...heavy on the supplements. This includes giving up vegetarianism after living, promoting and identifying with that lifestyle for over 20 years. I never thought I would eat a cow again; now I embrace it!
  • That's a pretty big switch - congrats! Did you find it difficult?
  • Joy
    Leaving the corporate job I had for over a decade... scary! I didn't do it until I had a series of deaths in my family/friends and had that existential moment: Is this what I want to do with my life? I just took the leap to try something new because it was too frightening to contemplate staying stuck. Still creating my life on an ongoing basis, but realized there wasn't anything wrong with the job but with me doing it with no JOYNESS!
  • Joy - completely awesome. Way to go!
  • Brad
    Easy - Deciding to have a kid... How did I do it???... Uhm, maybe that's a conversation someone else can fill you in on.
  • Brad - got it. I'll just have to ask somebody else :)
