Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard, by Chip Heath and Dan Heath
The authors of this fun and motivational book examine change. Their theory is that there are two brain systems – a rational system and an emotional system.

Best Quotes:

“It’s a theme we’ve seen again and again — big changes come from a succession of small changes. It’s OK if the first changes seem almost trivial.”
