What an amazing book. A common thread exists from start to finish of this book, while also applying many different examples. Interesting concepts in change, and change management make this a must read for anyone in leadership or aspiring to initiate change in any part of their life.

Informative and I liked all the practical and real life examples that they gave! I can see myself referring back to this book for inspiration when I feel stuck in a situation

I was about to give it four stars, but the great recap at the end made me switch: five stars for this very educational read about change.

Not unlike all the other self-help or career books in the world, but as always, a self-help book is a good way to give yourself time to re-think and gauge your habits. I’ll have to try the system and see if it works for me.

A lot of really interesting information here. It's unfortunate that the narrator's voice was so soothing - I kept drifting off while listening to the book. Hoping to pick up a hard copy to read it a little more thoroughly.

This is not the first book that I have read about change and how to manage it. This is, however, the first book that ties psychology to it in a way that has me now looking back on where change did and did not work and understanding why it went the way it did. Good book for business, personal growth, parenting, teaching - wherever in your life you need to change the way something is happening or the outcome and struggle to make it happen.

I liked the framework presented in the book and I really loved the case studies - I thrive off examples! Made me motivated to try to use this type of framework in my own life and see what kind of changes ensue. It presents a lot of different approaches to solving one behavioral change, which is helpful.
