The Switch

Sometimes it seems so difficult to make a change. Our persistence has a capacity which can be exhausted.  In the book the emotional side of humans is symbolized by Elephant, and the rational side by the rider. Here the rider must be smart to guide the elephant. One important thing I would like to add is the timing. If we train our rational thinking to act like the smart elephant rider who pays attention to the pace of the elephant it will be easier for us to make the changes in our own and others' elephants.
