Today’s big idea comes from Dan Heath and his inspiring book ‘Upstream.’ The book has the subtitle ‘How to solve problems before they happen’ and is, in its essence, a guide for preventing problems rather than simply reacting to them.

The book's central premise is that too often in life, we get stuck in a response cycle. We put out fires. We deal with emergencies. We stay downstream, handling one problem after another, but never go upstream to fix the systems that caused the problems. In ‘Upstream,’ we learn how to change that!

We hope you will enjoy this animated summary, where we will walk you through the essential pieces of wisdom conveyed in the book.
