Why This Book, Why Now

Leaders are being asked to absorb more disruption, make faster decisions, and guide teams through uncertainty without burning out. Pushing harder isn’t enough. In many cases, it is the pattern that keeps people stuck.

UnStuck was written for professionals at every level, but its urgency is greatest for those leading teams, shaping culture, and navigating high-stakes transformation. The next level requires a different relationship with change, resistance, and momentum.

Praise for UnStuck

“Unstuck offers a rare combination of behavioral science, leadership insight, and real-world applicability. This is a clear, grounded guide for leaders who want to influence change in ways that endure rather than rely on pressure or persuasion alone.”

Robert Cialdini, New York Times best-selling author of Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion and Pre-Suasion: A Revolutionary Way to Influence and Persuade

“In a world moving faster than ever, feeling stuck isn’t a character flaw; it’s a signal. Vered Kogan and Marshall Goldsmith don’t just diagnose the problem; they hand you the tools and the plan to break through it. Unstuck is the book I wish every leader I’ve ever worked with had on their desk.”

Chester Elton, New York Times best-selling author of The Carrot Principle, Leading with Gratitude, and Anxiety at Work

“In Unstuck, Vered Kogan and Marshall Goldsmith offer a guide that treats stuckness not as a personal failing but as an invitation to realign with what truly matters. This is a book for anyone ready to stop pushing harder and start leading from a deeper, more human place.”

Hubert Joly, Harvard Business School, former Best Buy CEO, and best-selling author of The Heart of Business

“In a world moving faster than ever, the greatest risk isn’t falling behind; it’s staying trapped in patterns that no longer serve us. Unstuck offers a practical and deeply human road map for breaking free from the beliefs, habits, and inner conflicts that hold us back.”

Erica Dhawan, best-selling author of Digital Body Language and Use Your Brain

“Getting stuck isn’t the dead end we think it is. It’s information, a signal that something is ready to shift and that it’s time to disrupt yourself. In UnStuck, Vered Kogan and Marshall Goldsmith offer a toolkit for the disruption that stuckness is pointing toward—practical, clear, and ready to use.”

Whitney Johnson, Thinkers50-ranked management thinker, CEO of Disruption Advisors, Wall Street Journal and USA Today best-selling author of Disrupt Yourself

“Getting stuck is easy; getting unstuck is the hard part—and it’s a challenge nearly all of us face. Kogan and Goldsmith tackle it head-on in a book that’s as timely as it is needed.”

Dorie Clark, Wall Street Journal and USA Today best-selling author of The Long Game

“So much of life is spent asking, ‘What should I add next?’ Unstuck asks a better question: ‘What do I need to let go of to be successful?’ Wise and refreshingly clear, this is a book that will earn its place on your shelf.”

Greg McKeown, New York Times best-selling author of Essentialism and Effortless
