Switch has been on my list of books to read for a while now. After reading your explanation of the Rider-Elephant-Path metaphor, I think you would be interested in a book I'm currently reading: 'How We Decide' by Jonah Lehrer. It contains a fascinating explanation of the interplay between the rational and the emotional parts of our minds. It sounds like it would dovetail nicely with the concepts from 'Switch'. Sounds very interesting. Switch has been on my list of books to read for a while now.
