Mike C. Adams doesn't waste the reader's time in this very useful little book on reversing bad habits and replacing them with good ones. Filled with photographs that enhance his tips, he starts out after a brief introduction on the importance of getting rid of deleterious habits and replacing them with positive changes with tips, each succinct but well defined. This is easy to follow on first reading, but the more important aspect of this book is its use as a handy reference guide to bolster your game plan toward being a positive and happy person.Some of his tips include stopping the bah habit cold turkey, list the steps to success, seek help when quitting, add things to replace your bad habits, know it is Okay to fall back, write your bad habits down and acknowledge them, embrace discomfort, make sure your goals are realistic, get rid of temptation, routinely reevaluate, change your daily routine, live in the moment, breakdown roadblocks, put people in your life that are where you want to be, don't let shame stop you, stop making excuses for yourself, setbacks aren't the end, help others help yourself, avoid negative people - forty tips in all.This very handsome young author has written many books along the concept of this one - books about worrying, procrastinating, anxiety management, dealing with low self esteem, decluttering your life, setting goals, tips on public speaking, dealing with difficult people - and it seems as though he is everyman's neighborhood, patient, reality-based therapist. You'll love his books - and him: his personality spills out of the compassionate pages. Grady Harp, December 13
