Book Reviews of Changing for Good: A Revolutionary Six-Stage Program for Overcoming Bad Habits and Moving Your Life Positively Forward

Book Review: Some good points but far from revolutionary
Summary: 3 Stars

I have followed Prochaska in the medical literature so sort of knew what I was getting into when I purchased this book. If someone abides by the processes of change provided in the book, he/she will probably be more likely to change for the better. However, my bias against the book is that most processes that are mentioned require some degree of effort in order to be successful. For example, it is easy to think about eating better. It becomes a little more difficult to start to map out the steps necessary to eat better. It becomes even more challenging to actually engage in healthy eating. Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating for a magic pill or an easy path to self-change. The point I'm trying to make is that most things presented in the book are pretty common sense. The public may not know about some of the terminology (such as countering, which is basically substituting unhealthy behaviors for healthy ones), but I would guess (I have no evidence to support this) that most people engage in the processes of change discussed in the book. I guess I was just expecting a little more than a lengthy summary of everthing I had been reading in the medical literature.

Summary of Changing for Good: A Revolutionary Six-Stage Program for Overcoming Bad Habits and Moving Your Life Positively Forward

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.
