How to overcome change resistance

Mai 31, 2010

Changing one’s behaviour is oftentimes very difficult, though the desired change seems reasonable and logical. Coevally, psychological research shows that the human brain is composed of two diverging systems concerning decision making: The rational one and the emotional one.
The authors, Chip and Dan Heath, build on these findings theoretically and state that in order to achieve behaviour change, both parts of the brain have to be in line with the aspired aim. They underline the practical validity of this concept by a great variety of real life examples:
From individually altering one’s recycling habits to convincing others of consuming healthier food, from rebranding one’s business to overcoming corruption in governments, all these cases demonstrate very convincingly the way of overcoming change reluctance. This book is highly recommended for business executives as well as all human beings fighting for individual change.
