Our Iceberg Is Melting (2026)

In Our Iceberg Is Melting, a simple fable about penguins illustrates how to conquer change, with profound lessons for working and living in an ever-changing world. Featuring a foreword by Spencer Johnson, bestselling author of Who Moved My Cheese?, this charming and thought-provoking story about a penguin colony in Antarctica presents key truths about how people deal with change: handle the challenge well and you can prosper greatly, while handling it poorly puts you at risk. The penguins have lived happily on their iceberg for many years, until one curious penguin discovers a potentially devastating problem threatening their home—and almost no one listens to him. The characters resemble people we recognize, including ourselves, and their story explores resistance to change and heroic action, confusion and insight, seemingly insurmountable obstacles, and clever tactics for overcoming them. Based on John Kotter’s pioneering work on making smart change happen faster and better, the lessons in this short, accessible book can serve you well at work, in family life, and in your community, especially as the world changes at an ever-faster pace. This edition celebrates twenty years since the publication of this classic business fable with a new cover.
