Reset How to change what’s not working

<p><b>From the #1 <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author Dan Heath comes a revolutionary guide to fixing what’s not working </b>–<b> in work and in our daily lives.</b><br><br><i>Reset</i> 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.<br><br>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.<br><br><b>In <i>Reset</i>, you’ll discover:<br><br>- Why the middle of a change effort is often the hardest<br>- How leaders can uncover and stop wasteful activities<br>- Why your team’s motivation is often squandered (and how to avoid that mistake)<br>- The paradox that <i>inefficiency </i>can sometimes accelerate progress</b><br><br>The book traces not only how people transform their work but <i>how they decide </i>what to work toward. Their aspirations couldn’t be more different. You’ll visit fast-food managers who’ve crafted a freakishly effective drive-thru line. You’ll meet a couples therapist who swears by a powerful, perception-shaping trick. And you’ll encounter a veterinarian who hatched a plan that ultimately saved the lives of five million cats.<br><br>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.<br><br><b>Yesterday, we were stuck. Today, we reset.</b></p>
