Reset: Change What’s Not Working by Dan Heath

When the old way isn’t working but you don’t want to rebuild everything from scratch.

Too often, we stay stuck: in routines, habits, or cultures that no longer serve us. Reset gives you a roadmap to rethink and reawaken what’s already here without needing new resources or radical upheaval.

Dan Heath draws on psychology, systems thinking, and real-world stories, from hospital mailrooms to fast-food drive-thrus to show you how to:

• Identify leverage points: small changes that create outsized impact 
• Restack existing resources toward greater return 
• Launch a “burst” to break inertia and gain early momentum 
• Sustain meaningful change without burning people or time 

At The Growth Shelf, we believe real growth happens when you turn what you already have into something stronger. Reset is a masterclass in thoughtful adaptation: change that doesn’t demand more, it unleashes more.

💡 What you’ll take with you:

• How to spot the hidden patterns keeping you stuck
• Steps to shift your system even when you're on the same team, in the same space, with the same goal 
• Strategies to build momentum from small wins and avoid the mid-change slump 
• A mindset for thriving within constraints not in spite of them

This isn’t a guide to starting over.
It’s a challenge to restart smarter.

Because the future doesn’t need new ingredients—it needs a fresh perspective.
