Title: Finding your way to change
Description: "Why is it so difficult to make life changes that are urgently desired, even needed? Whether it's eating healthier, pulling the plug on an unsatisfying job, or ending self-destructive patterns in relationships, old habits die hard. The good news is, it's perfectly normal to feel stuck--and with motivational interviewing (MI), you can understand what's keeping you there and how to break free. Allan Zuckoff and Bonnie Gorscak are MI experts who translate this proven counseling approach into powerful self-help strategies and practical tools. Readers learn how to resist unhelpful pressure to change, both from others and from within; overcome self-judgment and shame; and build confidence for developing and carrying out a doable personal change plan. Vivid stories illustrate the techniques in action"--
