Product Description:
'CHANGE OR DIE. What if you were given that choice? We're talking actual life and death now. Your own life and death. What if a well-informed, trusted authority figure said you had to make difficult and enduring changes in the way you think, feel, and act? If you didn't, your time would end soon—a lot sooner than it had to. Could you change when change mattered most?'
This is the question Alan Deutschman poses in Change or Die, which began as a sensational cover story by the same title for Fast Company. Deutschman concludes that although we all have the ability to change our behavior, we rarely ever do. In fact, the odds are nine to one that, when faced with the dire need to change, we won't. From patients suffering from heart disease to repeat offenders in the criminal justice system to companies trapped in the mold of unsuccessful business practices, many of us could prevent ominous outcomes by simply changing our mindset.
A powerful book with universal appeal, Change or Die deconstructs and debunks age-old myths about change and empowers us with three critical keys—relate, repeat, and reframe—to help us make important positive changes in our lives. Explaining breakthrough research and progressive ideas from a wide selection of leaders in medicine, science, and business (including Dr. Dean Ornish, Mimi Silbert of the Delancey Street Foundation, Bill Gates, Daniel Boulud, and many others), Deutschman demonstrates how anyone can achieve lasting, revolutionary change.
Change or Die is not about merely reorganizing or restructuring priorities; it's about challenging, inspiring, and helping all of us to make the dramatic transformations necessary in any aspect of life—changes that are positive, attainable, and absolutely vital.

I downloaded this audio book expecting to garner some new ideas for marketing and business. I didn't exactly get that, but I got a lot more.
Mr.Deutschman's book is about the psychology of change. He clearly lays out very compelling examples of people, businesses and cultures that have to change to survive, but don't. The narration is engaging and the content thought provoking but not so esoteric that its hard to understand.
Basically through a series of real life examples ... Read More

This was our book club selection for Oct. 08.
In the introduction Alan gave information that is worth the price of the book.
The follow up on that information in the rest of the book got a little long. Than Alan covered areas of life where I had chose not to change, he gave me a new and easier way to see what those chose's look like from a detached outside point of view. In a simple matter of fact way Alan illustrated how some attitudes control our physical, financial, and moral lives ... Read More

Author Alan Deutschman writes powerfully about the phenomenon of personal change - both in our professional and "real" lives. He starts with the arresting premise that, even if faced with the stark choice of changing or dying, many people would slack off. Instead, he offers three factors for genuine change and case studies illustrating these lessons.
The case studies include
* A successful homeless/rehab shelter in San Francisco
* Dean Ornish's diet and wellness work with overweight ... Read More

I found this book applicable since I work in a health care setting, and that is one of the groups described to help change. This book is applicable to about anybody who wants to learn how their efforts at trying to help people change are working against them. Many parents who are struggling with wayward children would find this information useful.
