Read for research. Interesting. I knew most of the theories b/c I'm coming at it from a psychological background, unlike most of his audience, I think. Great applications, though. Promoted his website a lot, and when I checked it out, there wasn't a whole lot there. I think he hopes it will turn into a hub, but I don't know how much that's happening. Oh well--good luck to him.

Good to keep as a reference book.

Do you want people to listen? Do you want to be more collaborative? Do you want to make sure your pilot project or just your lifestyle is successful in being a model for others? This book provides a generous amount of tools - regarding asking for environmental commitments, ie pledges, and giving prompts to change yours and others behaviour - oh so good!

I have a feeling a lot of people may have read this, but I'm not certain they took the same lessons home that I have taken.

Worth reading when considering what it takes to change behaviors.

Read as background info for my internship.

Technically didn't finish reading the last 15-20 pages.
Dry material, sort of interesting topic though.
