Nautilus Book Award Winner: An "engagingly written" behavioral science-based guide to tackling our urgent environmental problems (Robert B. Cialdini, author of Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion). To create a sustainable future and achieve positive, durable change, we must design solutions based directly on how people think, make decisions, and act. From hotels that save water (and money) using simple signage to energy suppliers that boost participation in renewable energy programs through mere enrollment-form tweaks, it's clear that shifting the behavior of millions for the better is possible. Based on decades of research into what drives behavior change, Making Shift Happen provides a suite of powerful tools to transform the world. It features A-to-Z guidance on how to design a behavior change initiative-from choosing the right audience and uncovering what drives their behavior to designing, prototyping, testing, and implementation. Clear instructions and real-world examples empower you to apply hundreds of behavioral science solutions including:

Using social norms to spread positive environmental behaviors
Selecting and testing stories, metaphors, and values to frame information for each audience
Catalyzing action by aligning your initiative with your audience's personal and social motivators
Breaking bad habits and building positive ones
Capturing your audience's attention and reducing barriers to action
Connecting people with nature and building empathy for the environment and its inhabitants

Making Shift Happen is a must-have guide for practitioners in non-profits, governments, and businesses looking to design successful campaigns and initiatives that shift behaviors and mindsets toward positive environmental outcomes and a better future for all. "Completely fascinating-we've learned a lot about the ways minds work in the last decades and that may help us figure out how to appeal to our better angels more effectively than in the past. Rest assured that people who want to sell us junk are paying attention to these insights-the rest of us better do so too!" -Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature
