Welcome to Litsy!

Decent book about change and how to make better change. This book covers a lot of stories to illustrate the books main 3 points. I feel like the authors got a little long winded on some points but overall a good read and some great tips to use to influence change in your personal life.

A great and easy strategy for making change for yourself and when interacting with others

Remember this when you hit your wall.

Overall a pick, although some of this was certainly not new to me (like Carol Dweck‘s growth mindset). I thought the steps sounded useful and the examples were mostly engaging. This is one I would borrow - not own - but I did actually finish it, which is saying something for me. Now off to try a few of the suggestions.

Just started this. Hope it is interesting enough to finish. 🤞🏽

I heard about this book from one of the speakers at the Save the Children Action Network advocacy summit in DC last month, and snatched it up on Overdrive as soon as I could. The number and variety of specific examples were good. I was *this close* to finishing this morning when I stopped to set up an experiment inspired by the book. Wish me luck! 😉

Listened to Switch today. If you are interested in habits and why people do or don't do what they do you should read or listen to this book.

A stop by one of my favorite places in Austin last night - Recycled Reads - resulted in a few new acquisitions. They do a lot of great things such as providing live music and Pokeman restocking. Even better, they weigh your purchase so you can see how much you're keeping out of the landfill. Prices are low (7 books for $7!) and it benefits the library system. Oh, and I kept 8.4 lbs out of the landfill!

What looks Like a person problem is often a situation problem

One of the best business books out there discussing change.

Really enjoying the Elephant and Rider analogy. I find that these types of books offer little in the way of applicable suggestions for my place of work, but this one does; a few times. Glad it made it to my place of work's book group list.

Cutrently reading this. Excellent re-orientation for how to view and solve the problems in our lives, especially when the change needs to move beyond ourselves. So far, so good!
