Description
Dan Heath, a bestselling author, prompts us to consider the benefits of addressing issues at their source rather than dealing with their symptoms. By shifting our focus upstream, we can proactively prevent problems from occurring. This means avoiding the need to « solve » crimes by stopping them from happening in the first place, or preventing the development of chronic diseases rather than treating them. The same principle applies to providing affordable housing as a means of preventing homelessness. Dan Heath demonstrates that by adopting a systemic approach in business, politics, and society, we have the potential to tackle some of our most challenging personal, organizational, and societal issues. Drawing on extensive research and interviews with innovative problem solvers, he offers practical solutions for prevention rather than reaction. As praised by Daniel H. Pink, bestselling author of « When, » « Drive, » and « To Sell Is Human, » « Upstream » is a rare book that not only reinvigorates businesses but also contributes to creating a better world. Charles Duhigg, bestselling author of « The Power of Habit » and « Smarter, Faster, Better, » commends the book for its informative, engaging, and entertaining content.
