Everyone knows that disease prevention is cheaper than treatment, and it is easier to prevent a problem than to deal with its consequences. Dan Heath reveals how to spot upcoming problems before it's too late. He conducted hundreds of interviews with prominent leaders, activists, and professionals in various fields and showed through their examples the importance of being one step ahead. His heroes are pediatricians who achieved the passage of child car seat legislation; teachers who changed the education system; an entire nation that was able to almost completely eradicate alcoholism and drug addiction, common among teenagers. All these people acted selflessly, persistently, and most importantly, proactively. They didn't expect praise and recognition, because being proactive often puts you in the shadows. From Dan Heath's book, you'll learn examples of practical solutions to prevent problems, learn how to find the right people, understand what direction to take, and how to evaluate the results , you will be able to look at your life from an unexpected angle and, perhaps, change it forever.
