From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Made to Stick, Switch, and The Power of Moments comes a revolutionary guide to fixing what’s not working—in systems and processes, organizations and companies, and even in our daily lives—by identifying leverage points and concentrating resources to achieve our goals.Changing how we work can feel overwhelming. Like trying to budge an enormous boulder. We’re stifled by the gravity of the way we’ve always done things. And we spend so much time fighting fires—and fighting colleagues—that we lack the energy to shift direction. But with the right strategy, we can move the boulder. In Reset, Heath explores a framework for getting unstuck and making the changes that matter. The secret is to find “leverage points”: places where a little bit of effort can yield a disproportionate return. Then, we can thoughtfully rearrange our resources to push on those points. Heath weaves together fascinating examples, ranging from a freakishly effective fast-food drive-thru to a simple trick from couples therapy to an inspirational campaign that saved a million cats. In Reset, you’ll -Why the feeling of progress can be your secret weapon in accelerating change -How leaders can uncover and stop wasteful activities -Why your team’s motivation is often squandered—and how to avoid that mistake -How you can jumpstart your change efforts by beginning with a “burst” The book investigates Why the middle is the roughest part of a change effort. Why inefficiency can sometimes accelerate progress. Why getting “buy-in” is the wrong way to think about change. What if we could unlock forward movement—achieving progress on what matters most—without the need for more resources? The same people, the same assets…but dramatically better results. Yesterday, we were stuck. Today, we reset.

Human lives are diverse, but our most memorable positive moments share four key elements: elevation, insight, pride, and connection. By embracing these, we can create more significant experiences. Imagine a teacher crafting a lesson that students will remember for decades or a manager designing an unforgettable customer experience. This exploration reveals why we remember the best or worst moments and the last moments of experiences while forgetting the rest. It highlights our comfort in certainty versus the aliveness found in uncertainty and explains why cherished memories often cluster in youth. Readers learn how brief encounters can transform lives, such as an experiment where two strangers become best friends in just 45 minutes. It also shares the story of the youngest female billionaire, who attributes her resilience to a simple question posed at the family dinner table. Many defining moments arise from luck, but why leave our most meaningful experiences to chance? This exploration teaches us how to intentionally create richer, memorable moments in our lives.

The authors present a four-step process aimed at mitigating the biases that infiltrate our decision-making. Psychological research shows that our choices are often hindered by various biases and irrationalities: we tend to be overconfident, seek confirming information while ignoring contradictory data, and let short-term emotions cloud our judgment. Simply recognizing these flaws is insufficient, much like knowing one is nearsighted doesn't improve vision. The key question addressed is: How can we enhance our decision-making? Drawing from extensive research in the field, the authors outline a four-step method to combat these biases. The narrative includes compelling examples, from a rock star's clever decision-making technique to a CEO's unfortunate acquisition, and highlights a pivotal question that can clarify complex personal dilemmas. Readers will discover answers to essential questions, such as how to break the cycle of indecision, make group decisions free from toxic politics, and avoid missing valuable opportunities for change. This work provides actionable strategies and tools to help us make more informed choices, emphasizing that the right decision at the right time can significantly impact our lives.

Just making a decision can be hard enough, but how do you begin to judge whether it's the right one?
