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.

Quality business book. While not as entertaining, content-wise I would put this up there with Lencioni's works. The concepts and methodology presented helped me see change efforts in a different light. Their thesis just makes so much sense. If your career role requires you to drive and manage change as mine does, then this is essential reading IMHO.

I read this really slow so that I would (hopefully) remember more. I thought it was so interesting. I end up thinking and talking about this book all the time in everyday life.
