Unstuck

Break Through What’s Holding You Back and Create Results That Stick

Eventually, most successful people hit a barrier.

The energy that pushed your success begins to diminish. The accolades that once felt important no longer do. The way forward feels uncertain. Meanwhile, the world around you continues to churn, faster than ever. Something is changing—in you, around you, or both—and the strategies that once got the job done no longer create the same results.

In Unstuck, change leadership expert Vered Kogan and world-renowned executive coach Marshall Goldsmith examine why so many intelligent, competent people feel stuck and what is needed to break through. Drawing on decades of coaching high performers, they explain that stuckness is not failure. More often, it shows you the way to your next level of growth.

With a mix of behavioral science, leadership insight, practical tools, and deeply human stories, Unstuck aids readers in understanding the hidden patterns that lead to stress, burnout, overthinking, perfectionism, and procrastination. You’ll discover how to work with resistance instead of against it, regulate pressure before it overtakes your thinking, and develop the internal conditions where lasting change can blossom.

But this is not just about individual growth. It’s also about helping teams and organizations to break away from patterns that keep them stifled in debunked mindsets and methods of working. In a time of accelerating change, increasing complexity, and massive uncertainty, the leaders who find success are those who can authentically influence others to grow and adapt under pressure.

Unstuck offers a new path for handling and leading change from the inside out so you can leverage one of today’s most meaningful advantages: the ability to get unstuck and help others do the same.

“Unstuck offers a rare combination of behavioral science, leadership insight, and real-world applicability. Drawing on well-established principles of influence, Kogan and Goldsmith show how lasting change happens when people understand the psychological forces shaping decisions and behavior. 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. Read it. Then read it again.”

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

“Too many talented professionals today confuse motion with meaning and exhaustion with progress. 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. With hard-won wisdom and practical tools, they show how lasting change begins on the inside, where purpose, presence, and authentic influence can transform our careers and our organizations. 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, 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. This is a book you’ll return to whenever life or leadership demands your next level of growth.”

—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
