Diese Prinzipien sind nicht wissenschaftlich belegbar, aber dennoch wahr und helfen, menschliches Verhalten zu verstehen.

Dieses Buch handelt von Veränderungen. Von den kleinen scheinbar bedeutungslosen des Alltags und von den großen, unbegreiflichen der Weltgeschichte. Doch wer verändern will, muss zuerst verstehen: 52 Modelle helfen zu begreifen, was passiert ist und wie es weitergeht. Wer drinnen ist und wer draußen, wer regiert und wer verliert, wer die Spielregeln macht und wer sie bricht. Und nicht zuletzt: was wir selbst tun können, um unsere Welt mitzugestalten.
Které auto si mám koupit? Jak můžu motivovat sebe nebo svůj tým? Jak to, že lidé touží po tom, co nepotřebují? Kdy je čas na změnu? Proč je dobré mít omezený výběr? Žiju v přítomnosti? Proč lidé kouří, i když je to nezdravé? Na tyto i řadu jiných otázek pomohla tato kniha odpovědět již milionu lidí v 27 různých zemích. Skládá se z padesáti grafických modelů a jejich stručného popisu. Sami autoři říkají, že modely jsou zjednodušením důležitých součástí skutečnosti. S pomocí obrázků znázorňují to, co lze slovy vyjádřit jen stěží. Nehledejte v nich však odpovědi. Ty naleznete teprve potom, co si model sami vyzkoušíte. Autoři přitom používají proslulé i zcela neznámé modely rozhodování. Kniha tak velmi přístupnou formou poskytuje podněty pro rozmanité aspekty rozhodování i úspěšného života obecně. A ještě malý návod. Pokud rádi užíváte metodu „pokus–omyl“, začněte nejlépe částí „Jak se zlepšit“, případně „Jak zlepšit druhé“. Jste-li onen typ, který si nejprve prostuduje určitou teorii a pak podle ní jedná, doporučujeme začít kapitolou „Jak se lépe pochopit“ nebo „Jak lépe pochopit druhé“.
