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 1000 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 beneficial habits
a permanent part of your life

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.

THE NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE HAS
FOUND THIS PROGRAM MORE THAN TWICE AS
EFFECTIVE AS STANDARD PROGRAMS IN
HELPING SMOKERS QUIT FOR 18 MONTHS.
