From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Dan Heath comes a revolutionary guide to fixing whats not working in work and in our daily lives.Reset will help you get unstuck, shake off old habits, and overcome the inertia of the way things always work. Heath shares a framework, based on research in psychology and hundreds of interviews, to help you vault toward what really matters.Crucially, you can make positive changes without the need for additional time or money (which, for most of us, is not forthcoming). The secret is to find leverage points: places where a little bit of effort can yield a disproportionate return.In Reset, youll discover:- Why the middle of a change effort is often the hardest- How leaders can uncover and stop wasteful activities- Why your teams motivation is often squandered (and how to avoid that mistake)- The paradox that inefficiency can sometimes accelerate progressThe book traces not only how people transform their work but how they decide what to work toward. Their aspirations couldnt be more different. Youll visit fast-food managers whove crafted a freakishly effective drive-thru line. Youll meet a couples therapist who swears by a powerful, perception-shaping trick. And youll encounter a veterinarian who hatched a plan that ultimately saved the lives of five million cats.Their aspirations differ, but their resolve is the same: to escape the stifling gravity of entrenched systems. To unlock forward momentum making steady progress toward our highest goals without the need for more resources. The same people, the same assets, but dramatically better results.Yesterday, we were stuck. Today, we reset.

The New York Times bestselling authors of Switch and Made to Stick explore why certain brief experiences can jolt us and elevate us and change usand how we can learn to create such extraordinary moments in our life and work.While human lives are endlessly variable, our most memorable positive moments are dominated by four elements: elevation, insight, pride, and connection. If we embrace these elements, we can conjure more moments that matter. What if a teacher could design a lesson that he knew his students would remember twenty years later? What if a manager knew how to create an experience that would delight customers? What if you had a better sense of how to create memories that matter for your children?This book delves into some fascinating mysteries of experience: Why we tend to remember the best or worst moment of an experience, as well as the last moment, and forget the rest. Why we feel most comfortable when things are certain, but we feel most alive when theyre not. And why our most cherished memories are clustered into a brief period during our youth.Readers discover how brief experiences can change lives, such as the experiment in which two strangers meet in a room, and forty-five minutes later, they leave as best friends. (What happens in that time?) Or the tale of the worlds youngest female billionaire, who credits her resilience to something her father asked the family at the dinner table. (What was that simple question?)Many of the defining moments in our lives are the result of accident or luckbut why would we leave our most meaningful, memorable moments to chance when we can create them? The Power of Moments shows us how to be the author of richer experiences.

Wall Street Journal BestsellerEn la vida, a menudo nos quedamos atascados en un ciclo de respuesta. Apagamos los fuegos. Tratamos las emergencias. Nos quedamos atrapados en la corriente, intentando solventar un problema tras otro, pero nunca intentamos ir a contracorriente para arreglar los sistemas que causan esos problemas. El autor de bestsellers del New York Times, Dan Heath explica como anticipar los problemas antes de que ocurran, y lo hace basandose en los conocimientos adquiridos en cientos de entrevistas a personas que resuelven los problemas de una forma poco convencional.A CONTRACORRIENTE ofrece soluciones practicas para prevenir los problemas en lugar de reaccionar a ellos. ¿Cuantos problemas en nuestras vidas y en nuestra sociedad estamos tolerando por el mero hecho de olvidar que podemos anticiparnos y evitar que se originen?

Wall Street Journal BestsellerNew York Times bestselling author Dan Heath explores how to prevent problems before they happen, drawing on insights from hundreds of interviews with unconventional problem solvers.So often in life, we get stuck in a cycle of response. We put out fires. We deal with emergencies. We stay downstream, handling one problem after another, but we never make our way upstream to fix the systems that caused the problems. Cops chase robbers, doctors treat patients with chronic illnesses, and call-center reps address customer complaints. But many crimes, chronic illnesses, and customer complaints are preventable. So why do our efforts skew so heavily toward reaction rather than prevention?Upstream probes the psychological forces that push us downstreamincluding problem blindness, which can leave us oblivious to serious problems in our midst. And Heath introduces us to the thinkers who have overcome these obstacles and scored massive victories by switching to an upstream mindset. One online travel website prevented twenty million customer service calls every year by making some simple tweaks to its booking system. A major urban school district cut its dropout rate in half after it figured out that it could predict which students would drop outas early as the ninth grade. A European nation almost eliminated teenage alcohol and drug abuse by deliberately changing the nations culture. And one EMS system accelerated the emergency-response time of its ambulances by using data to predict where 911 calls would emergeand forward-deploying its ambulances to stand by in those areas.Upstream delivers practical solutions for preventing problems rather than reacting to them. How many problems in our lives and in society are we tolerating simply because weve forgotten that we can fix them?

Informs, engages and, above all, entertainsCharles Duhigg, bestselling author of The Power of HabitNew York Times bestselling author Dan Heath asks what happens when we take our thinking upstream and try to prevent problems before they happen.What happens when we take our thinking upstream and try to prevent problems before they happen?Most of us are pretty good at dealing with problems were used to being resourceful and improvising solutions. But we also tend to focus on reacting rather than preventing, which costs us unnecessary time and money.Across business, politics, and society, bestselling author Dan Heath shows us that we have the capacity to solve some of our thorniest issues we just need to start to think about the system rather than the symptoms. Drawing on hundreds of new interviews with unconventional problem solvers, Heath shows the huge gains to be made when we stop dealing with symptoms and start to deliver practical solutions.Packed with vivid stories and practical examples, Upstream is the rare book that can both revitalize your business and make our world a better place.Daniel H.

Along the way, they reveal that sticky messages of all kinds - from the infamous kidney theft ring hoax, to a coachs lessons on sportsmanship, to a vision for a new product at Sony - draw their power from the same six traits.Made to Stick reveals the vital principles behind winning ideas - and tells us how we can apply these rules to making our own messages stick.

The New York Times-bestselling authors of Switch and Made to Stick offer a fascinating tour through the workings of our minds to reveal how to make smarter decisions. Research in psychology has revealed that our decisions are disrupted by an array of biases and irrationalities. Were overconfident. We seek out information that supports us and downplay information that doesnt. We get distracted by short-term emotions. When it comes to making choices, our brains are flawed instruments. So, how can we do better?In Decisive, Chip and Dan Heath draw on cutting-edge psychological research to introduce a four-step process designed to counteract these biases. They reveal how we can stop the cycle of agonizing over our decisions, how can we make group decisions without destructive politics, and how to ensure that we dont overlook precious opportunities to change our course. Along the way, they demonstrate how relatively easy it is to avoid the pitfalls and find the best answers.Written in a compulsively readable style, Decisive takes us on a tour from a rock stars ingenious decision-making trick, to a CEOs disastrous acquisition, to a single question that can often resolve thorny personal decisions, in order to offer fresh strategies and practical tools that will enable you to make better choices. Because the right decision, at the right moment, can make all the difference.

A fantastic book. WIREDWitty and instructive. WALL STREET JOURNALInvaluable for anyone wanting to make long-lasting change a reality. BBC FOCUSA must-read. FORBES______________________________________________We all know that change is hard. Its unsettling, its 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 to understand how our minds function in order to unlock shortcuts to switch up our behaviours. 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 companys finances - the brothers Heath prove that deceptively simple methods can yield truly extraordinary results.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.

¿Cómo es posible que dos desconocidos entren en una sala y 45 minutos después ya sean amigos íntimos? ¿Por qué tenemos algunos recuerdos imborrables de nuestra infancia o adolescencia? ¿A qué se debe que recordemos perfectamente eventos ocurridos hace años? Chip y Dan Heath, autores superventas de The New York Times y The Wall Street Journal, nos enseñan en este libro que ciertas experiencias cambian nuestra vida y que no tienen por que ser siempre producto del azar: podemos crearlas, si sabemos como. Analizan por que determinadas experiencias son como una sacudida, capaces de elevarnos y cambiarnos; y como podemos aprender a crear por nosotros mismos tales momentos extraordinarios en nuestra vida y en nuestro trabajo. Aunque las vidas humanas son infinitamente variables, nuestros momentos positivos mas memorables estan dominados por cuatro elementos: elevacion, percepcion, orgullo y conexion. Si los interiorizamos, podremos crear mas momentos relevantes. ¿Y si un profesor pudiera diseñar una leccion sabiendo que los alumnos la recordarian veinte años despues? ¿Y si un empresario supiera como crear una experiencia que deleitara a los clientes? ¿Y si tuvieramos mas claro como crear recuerdos que fueran importantes para nuestros hijos? Todo ello es posible y en Momentos magicos Chip y Dan Heath nos explican como conseguirlo.
