So this is the first of the books I had to read for my training this summer. I have to say that "Switch" was my favorite just because it really gets down into why change is hard for people and organizations. And it shows how small changes can build into such big successes. I am at an organization ri...

I heard about this book during a presentation at a job training. I'd always wondered why I remembered certain moments more than others, and wanted to know how to use that in teaching. This book was just what I needed.It was so inspiring! Required reading for anyone looking to jump-start their life. ...

I have to admit, this is a great group of books for my last review of 2016 in Global Business and Organizational Excellence. I have been driving my husband crazy while I've read these, spewing out all kinds of facts whether he wanted to hear them or not. There is some truly remarkable information he...

An entirely interesting and readable book on behaviouristic developments.Though I had some issues with how the author perceives Russia. It's like he went to a country entirely different from the one I reside in.Take this extract:Q:Russia’s biggest downside, for me at least, is its lack of color. Bei...

A superb book that presents convincing arguments, great stories, great research, great analogies, and highly actionable advice on how to communicate ideas in a way that will "stick".

This book was recommended to me by a friend as a resource for change management. I liked it and it was easy to listen to. I thought it had some good advice but I have to admit at times I wish I had the paper version just for note taking. The book lost at star because at times it seems some topics we...

I seem have a lot of books on change in my "to be read" pile. I'm hoping this is a sign that I'll soon be getting back into some good habits regarding writing, reading, housekeeping, etc.. The trip to San Francisco has resulted in a few setbacks, but also in a new determination. It's interesting tha...

As much as I tend to loathe books in this "manage change and be a better person" genre, I rather enjoyed this one. It's full of stories/examples of how people at all levels, some with limited resources, have been able to bring about the changes they desired and how they did it. It's definitely not a...

This was a nice easy read, especially since I don't read much non-fiction. Some really good illustrations about change, and how to make it easier. I saw Dan Heath speak at my childrens' school last night, and he was excellent, utitlizing alot of examples from the book in a meaningful way. Now to ...
