This was a very interesting book on the nature of change. The authors walk you through the psychology of change with multiple examples, lots of repetition and concrete examples across all fields. Very applicable for people in leadership.
Another banger of a book from the Heath lads.
Only 4 stars because I basically already knew the "Trick" of the book which is to change your environment.
Basically, on a bunch of surveys, people think they're way more in control than they are, and it's actually you're environment that is shaping yourself and your actions more so. Is everyone else a P zombie? Is solipsism true? Anyway I digress
The good old elephant and the rider analogy, the heart and mind must align for change to occur, emotionally blackmail yourself.
You only have a limited amount of specified action energy (the rest is autopilot)
Make it specific, make it easy
Look for bright spots amongst change
Plan and Script the critical moves
Process focused goals
Deal with emotional problems
Sometimes you need meaningful small wins to get the ball rolling, even if it's not much (Aka show up to the gym for 5 minutes, Psychological)
Make change a matter of identity
Have a curious growth-oriented mindset

I liked it. It was very readable, but a lot of the lessons felt almost trivially true.

One of the most engaging business nonfiction because so many examples are covered. They provide the most inspiration and diversity.

Their earlier book was merely interesting with occasional points of usefulness, but Switch really impressed me. The advice was better backed up with clear stories, it felt more actionable. Also it's surprisingly well-written for a business book. Recommended.
