2006-06-28 What a nice change.

Unlike most self-help books out there, this one is actually based on research for a change. Based on this Phd's work on how people change, this guy has uncovered the different, predictable stages of change that people go through when they attempt to get themselves to change. Although the stages are fairly predictable, not everybody goes through them in the exact same order as some people skip various stages on their way to changing their behaviour. A great book all-in-all, it's definitely worth a look. Also recommend "The Sixty-Second Motivator" - a good complement to this book which shows one how to get motivated to change a behavior- which will ultimately move you through the stages of change faster.
