I'm focusing on the guidance from this book right now in order to capitalize on the energy of the New Year in order to really make the changes I know I need to make. How to define and keep real motivation and translate it into exercise action is my enduring problem, and I feel like this book is helping me cut through to action that will help. I say helping because this is a book full of information to actively use, not to read and then shelf. There are at least 100 pages of resources and printable worksheets at the end alone that will keep me busy and FOCUSED for a long time--I can't describe what a huge value of all this is.The coaching was clear and easy to read, even when discussing complex issues about how to use your mind to change long-standing patterns of thinking. I liked the case studies and best practices information, and definitely needed the guidance on goal setting. I've been doing many of the avoidance patterns the author discusses. Understanding the change cycle he describes is very empowering, helping me feel pretty normal in all of the barriers I've had in the past, and set me on the path to real changes this time. Really useful stuff.The book is super organized and useful to read cover-to-cover or to pick up as a resource or get-your-head-back-in-the-game session as needed. The links to the worksheets and extensive resources are fabulous. This book is a huge value and a major tool for personal change.
