Histoire
Everyone has something they want to change. Marketers want to change their customers' minds and leaders want to change organizations. Start-ups want to change industries and nonprofits want to change the world. But change is hard. Often, we persuade and pressure and push, but nothing moves. Could there be a better way? This book takes a different approach. Successful change agents know it's not about pushing harder, or providing more information, it's about being a catalyst.

Rocket science is often celebrated as the ultimate triumph of technology. But it's not. Rather, it's the apex of a certain thought process - a way to imagine the unimaginable and solve the unsolvable. It's the same thought process that enabled Neil Armstrong to take his giant leap for mankind, that allows spacecraft to travel millions of miles through outer space and land on a precise spot, and that brings us closer to colonizing other planets.

While human lives are endlessly variable, our most memorable positive moments are dominated by four elements: elevation, insight, pride, and connection. If we embrace these elements, we can conjure more moments that matter. What if a teacher could design a lesson that he knew his students would remember 20 years later? What if a manager knew how to create an experience that would delight customers? What if you had a better sense of how to create memories that matter for your children?

At work, we’re taught to lead the conversation. On social media, we shape our personal narratives. At parties, we talk over one another. So do our politicians. We’re not listening. And no one is listening to us. Despite living in a world where technology allows constant digital communication and opportunities to connect, it seems no one is really listening or even knows how. And it’s making us lonelier, more isolated, and less tolerant than ever before. A listener by trade, New York Times contributor Kate Murphy wanted to know how we got here.

Creative work doesn't come with a guarantee. But there is a pattern to who succeeds and who doesn't. And engaging in the consistent practice of its pursuit is the best way forward. Based on the breakthrough Akimbo workshop pioneered by legendary author Seth Godin, The Practice will help you get unstuck and find the courage to make and share creative work. Godin insists that writer's block is a myth, that consistency is far more important than authenticity, and that experiencing the imposter syndrome is a sign that you're a well-adjusted human.

Have you or your colleagues ever worked hard on something, only to find out you were focusing on the wrong problem entirely? Most people have. In a survey, 85 percent of companies said they often struggle to solve the right problems. The consequences are severe: Leaders fight the wrong strategic battles. Teams spend their energy on low-impact work. Startups build products that nobody wants. Organizations implement “solutions” that somehow make things worse, not better. Everywhere you look, the waste is staggering.

When it comes to setting and meeting goals, we may see - quite literally - our plans, our progress, and our potential in the wrong ways. We perceive ourselves as being closer to or further from the end than we may actually be depending on our frame of reference. We handicap ourselves by looking too often at the big picture and at other times too long at the fine detail. But as award-winning social psychologist Emily Balcetis explains, there is great power in these misperceptions. We can learn to leverage perceptual illusions if we know when and how to use them to our advantage

What do you do when you're faced with a big decision? If you're like most people, you probably make a pro and con list, spend a lot of time obsessing about decisions that didn't work out, get caught in analysis paralysis, endlessly seek other people's opinions to find just that little bit of extra information that might make you sure, and finally go with your gut.

Description
New York Times best-selling author Dan Heath explores how to prevent problems before they happen, drawing on insights from hundreds of interviews with unconventional problem solvers.
So often in life, we get stuck in a cycle of response. We put out fires. We deal with emergencies. We stay downstream, handling one problem after another, but we never make our way upstream to fix the systems that caused the problems. Cops chase robbers, doctors treat patients with chronic illnesses, and call-center reps address customer complaints. But many crimes, chronic illnesses, and customer complaints are preventable. So why do our efforts skew so heavily toward reaction rather than prevention?
Upstream probes the psychological forces that push us downstream - including “problem blindness,” which can leave us oblivious to serious problems in our midst. And Heath introduces us to the thinkers who have overcome these obstacles and scored massive victories by switching to an upstream mindset. One online travel website prevented 20 million customer service calls every year by making some simple tweaks to its booking system. A major urban school district cut its dropout rate in half after it figured out that it could predict which students would drop out - as early as the ninth grade. A European nation almost eliminated teenage alcohol and drug abuse by deliberately changing the nation’s culture. And one EMS system accelerated the emergency-response time of its ambulances by using data to predict where 911 calls would emerge - and forward-deploying its ambulances to stand by in those areas.
Upstream delivers practical solutions for preventing problems rather than reacting to them. How many problems in our lives and in society are we tolerating simply because we’ve forgotten that we can fix them?

A must read for who wants to change the world
A real great book to help people define the real problem that needs solving, not only the consequences but the root. I've really enjoyed the step by step approach : seeing past our blindside, rounding up the problem, evaluating the costs of preventing the problem in the first place, and finally adopting an agile stance to design a solution (not the perfect one at first but a learning one with the right metrics).

Excellent overview of the power of prevention
One the salesmen in my company forwarded me a blurb of this book— the first several pages— and honestly I thought it sounded pretty hokey. But I read the blurb and decided to drop one of my free credits on the pre-order. I’m glad I did! This book is a great high level overview of how preventive measures can succeed, and (in general terms) the challenges that face preventive measures. We’ve all heard that “an ounce of prevention beats a pound of cure”, but this book gives great examples of the issues that preventive efforts run into. They’re usually unsexy, disconnected from the final outcome, and often come across as more invasive than an after-the-fact solution. As Dan says, we celebrate heroes and heroic actions. In a logical reality, the mere need for those heroic actions means that a system failed somewhere along the way. And yet, when preventers succeed, “if you’ve done everything right, they won’t notice you’ve done anything at all.” I think this is a great book for anyone looking to kickstart preventive programs, whether in business or in the private sector. The author (also the narrator of the audiobook) is easy to listen to and I didn’t notice any recording issues. All in all, well worth the time.

Mixed review
I’ve been a very big fan of Brothers Heath for some time. I own all their books and appreciate their work. I was excited by this books concept but I found I don’t agree with some of the conclusions. Also, some of the writing approach didn’t appeal to me, and ultimately failed to convince me. The early stories and examples in the book were excellent and entirely the strength of the book. Later examples I found to be off the mark, deficient in its analysis or even somewhat offensive. Praising the example of prohibiting eviction in Rockford as an upstream solution for homelessness, doesn’t really seem like an “upstream” solution at all. That seems like a downstream problem in the making, for homeowner-landlords to loose their homes to investment banks. Suggesting antibiotic interventions as an example of an all upside, no downside kind of intervention seemed to me to be unknowledgeable and lazy. And the implied praising of “Cheeky Cheating” in the baseball analogy was bothersome. But admittedly my mood towards that story was colored by current events; large scale allegations of voter fraud in the 2020 election. The early stories and lessons however were strong, and made the purchase just barely worth keeping. But ultimately I can’t say I recommend this book.

audio books are a tough "read" in general as we tend to reduce them to background sound at times, distracted by other senses or thoughts. In this book, the case studies, concise lessons, and pace keeps the reader engaged; gripping audiobook with good lessons to keep in mind!

loved it! Fun and practical at the same time
Loved the book, and it certainly delivers on the Heath-brothers promise. Compelling stories, fresh insights, fun, and funny at times. Really well-written. I loved how they shared stories from the business sector, public sector, non-profits, and individuals alike. Got me thinking about how to tackle problems before the become problems. Glad I read it and would recommend for sure.
