Books on change tend to fall into one of two categories. Arcane/dubious and insightful/thoughtprovocing.
This falls into the second category.

I liked that the first part always closes the loop to practical research and data. It has a definite direction but is never too academic.
The second part then goes into practice. This helped me imagining the different approaches in a straightforward, undiluted manner.
