Publisher Description
Change Anything presents a
stunning new approach to how individuals can not only change their lives for
the better in the workplace but also their lives away from the office,
including (but not limited to) finding ways to improve one’s working
relationship with others, one’s overall health, and outlook on life.
For example: why is it that 95% of all diet attempts fail? Why do New
Year’s Resolutions last no more than a few days? Why can't people with good
intentions seem to make consistent and positive strides in the way they want to
improve their careers, financial fitness, and physical fitness?
Based on the latest research in a number of psychological and medical
fields, the authors of Change Anything will show that traditional willpower
is not necessarily the answer to these strivings, that people are affected in
their behaviors by far more subtle influences. Change Anything shows how
individuals can come to understand these powerful and influential forces, and
how to put these forces to work in a positive manner that brings real and
meaningful results.

"I would rate this higher if I could. I now own it, as I found myself reading, and then re reading and taking notes. This is really great for ANYTHING you want to change in your life. The authors hit big hard ones (stopping smoking, weight loss, improving careers, turning marriages around...) but you could use this for something as simple as wanting to stop biting your nails. ;) I really really really liked that the first point they explain is how WILLPOWER is not often enough to change. They give a whole slew of ideas... It is well written and based with studies, and easy to follow and enjoy. Loved it and and am currently implementing steps, ideas for personal change of my own. Read it."
