Summary: Don't call it denial anymore-that doesn't help!
Comment: This easily explains why some people can stop behaviors, while others cannot. I have worked with criminal offenders for over 10 years and have begun incorportating the step by step techniques described in this book to all of our programming for offenders. It also helped me to begin something that I have wanted to do, but always found excuses to avoid. The book is simple to read, with personal stories to illustrate each point. Whether you would like to quit smoking, drinking, or want to start an excercise program, you must read this book. Understanding the change process will help you move to a point where doing "something different" becomes possible.

Summary: Excellent Resource on Behavior Change
Comment: This book is amazing! Prochaska and his colleagues have profound insight on behavior change from years of research, including interviews with everyday people. This book is a great resource for students or professionals new to the area of behavior change. Yet, it is also useful for anyone trying to make a change in their own life for personal gain.

I have used this book for both academic and personal benefit and found it easy to read and practical. It explains the stages of change and gives examples of what others have gone through. This book is not based on hearsay or a passing fad in science, it is based on sound, time-tested research principles. It may be slightly advanced for those who are only beginning to think about changing a behavior, but individuals who are serious about change should find it very useful.

Summary: Not for the unmotivated!
Comment: Being a "rationalizer and Intellectualizer" par excellance, this book gave me the insight I needed to see where I was "stuck" and why the conventional menthods of programs like "AA" just do not work for me. Splendid advice for anyone looking (seriously) to move forward in their attempts to change behaviors which no longer serve them.
