Change isn’t what wears us down.
It’s the nonsense that insists on coming along for the ride.
The meetings that multiply faster than ideas.
The reports that explain everything except what matters.
The legacy rules that no one remembers creating — yet everyone still follows.
We call it structure. We call it alignment.
Mostly, it’s just friction dressed as discipline.
Change Is Hard, But Nonsense Is Exhausting is a thought-provoking read for curious minds — an amusing exploration of why organizations cling to complexity and how sense quietly slips out of the system. Drawing from years in transformation and leadership, it unpacks how smart people end up doing exhausting things, and what it really takes to bring clarity back to work.
It’s not a manual for change — it’s a conversation about what happens when reason finally walks back into the room.
Because exhaustion isn’t a strategy Change is

Aarti Chhabra
Aarti Chhabra is a Transformation Strategist and Systems Whisperer who has spent more than two decades helping organisations replace unnecessary complexity with clarity that actually works. Certified as a Master Black Belt from the Indian Statistical Institute, a Lean Practitioner & Trainer from Cardiff University, a Project Management Professional (PMI UK) and Risk Management through IIM, she brings a disciplined yet deeply humane approach to change.
Aarti has led teams across financial services and global enterprises, often stepping into the messy middle where processes tangle, decisions stall, and progress quietly loses its way. Her work focuses on cutting through the noise, asking sharper questions, and designing systems that respect both people and purpose.
Change Is Hard, But Nonsense Is Exhausting is her debut book — a candid, witty reflection on why organisations get stuck and how ordinary professionals create extraordinary momentum by choosing clarity over inherited complexity.
