  The authors use language as a gauge to monitor change and its companion, fear of change. They start by stating that each of has a built-in mechanisism, "a hidden immune system" that wants to prevent us from change. We are, they state, the most overinformed and unreflective people in the history of civilization.
  
  The authors provide resources, suggestions, and practical strategies to rehabilitate psychological inertia. As a resource, this is a highly-valuable book.”
