Description - How to Change: The Science of Getting from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be by Katy Milkman
After a holiday season full of desserts, you step on the scale and reality hits you smack in the face. It's time to make a life change, you tell yourself, and this time it will be for good. After months of diligent diet and exercise, you find yourself ten pounds lighter and infinitely happier - until, after a hard week at work, you console yourself with Netflix and a tub of ice cream and gain it all back. Or take the famous quip by Mark Twain that quitting smoking was easy, he's done it thousands of times. It's easy to effect short-term change in your life, but it's really hard to change for good.
Luckily, there is a solution. Drawing on her groundbreaking research in the field of behavioral psychology, Katy Milkman shares a toolkit that will help you change your behavior, and your life, for good, no matter your goal.
Through case studies, engaging stories, and results from massive studies she conducted at companies like Google and 24 Hour Fitness, Milkman will teach you-
Why watching TV at the gym is the secret to developing healthy habits
How giving advice to others, even if it's about something you're struggling with, can help you achieve your goal
How to harness your natural laziness to help you implement desirable behaviors
How setting the right intentions can alter the course of your success
Whether you're a manager, coach, or teacher looking to help others create positive change in their life, or you're struggling to kick some bad habits yourself, Change for Good offers an invaluable blueprint for making it happen and making it stick.
