This groundbreaking book offers simple self-assessments, informative
case histories, and concrete examples to help clarify each stage and
process. Whether your goal is to start saving money, to stop drinking,
or to end other self-defeating or addictive behaviors, this
revolutionary program will help you implement positive personal change .
. . for life.
How many times have you thought about starting a diet or quitting
smoking without doing anything about it? Or lapsed back into bad habits
after hitting a rough spot on the road to recovery?
To uncover the secret to successful personal change, three acclaimed
psychologists studied more than 1,000 people who were able to positively
and permanently alter their lives without psychotherapy. They discovered
that change does not depend on luck or willpower. It is a process that
can be successfully managed by anyone who understands how it works. Once
you determine which stage of change you're in, you can:
- create a climate where positive change can occur
- maintain motivation
- turn setbacks into progress
- make your new benefifificial habits a permanent part of your life
The National Cancer Institute Found this program more than twice as
effective as standard programs in helping smokers quit for 18 months.
