Draws on the latest psychological and medical research to explain why it can be difficult to overcome self-destructive behavior patterns and discusses how to recognize the powerful influences that affect behavior and use them in a positive manner.
A new approach to how individuals can change their lives for the better, including (but not limited to) finding ways to improve one's working relationship with others, one's overall health, outlook on life, and so on. Why do 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 make consistent and positive strides to improve their careers, financial fitness, physical fitness, and so on? Based upon the latest research in a number of psychological and medical fields, the authors show that traditional willpower is not necessarily the answer to these strivings, that people are affected in their behaviors by far more subtle influences. This book 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.--From publisher description.
Willpower is not the answer. The key to change is in understanding the subtle but powerful influences that shape your choices. Drawing on social science research, this work outlines six sources of influence that affect our daily decisions and explains how to make these factors work in our favor, presenting real-world examples of people who have changed their lives using these tools. Readers are provided with a conceptual framework for seeing themselves as both scientists and the subjects of their own experiments in change. The skills taught here can be used for kicking addictions, losing weight, improving careers, or building relationships. The book is written by a team of authors who have produced three best-sellers. Editor Patterson received Brigham Young University's Dyer Award in 2004, for outstanding contributions in organizational behavior. Business Plus is an imprint of Grand Central Publishing.
