Changing for Good Paperback – 24 April 2007

I have been looking for a book on motivation and how REALLY to get rid of unwanted habits, such as procrastination. This is it!!!! If you want to give up smoking, lose weight, stop procrastinating, or change any other habit for good, this book shows you how to go about it, with examples and a clear process.It is based on real world research and gives a 7 stage process for change from pre-contemplation - basically, where you deny there is any problem and "rubbish" any comments or articles by others, right through to termination, where the problem has been changed completely and no longer bothers you.It is also an interesting book to read and well written.

An excellent book, for health promotion in nursing , I used it for smoking cessation, but it's good for other addictive behaviors. It is perfect book for students who r using trans theoretical model or the other name "stages of change "

I read this to gain a an insight into change as per the heading and although I think it was a little repetitive it offers great understanding and tips for anyone having to make changes and I would recommend this to anyone having t deal with change or feeling frustrated in not managing to maintain or begin change

This book is great! I used to work in the substance misuse field and we were always taught the very basics behind the 'cycle of change'. And I thought I understood the concept. And yet there were almost as many questions about change and the use of the cycle of change. Then I found this very readable book THE book that started it all. And I wondered why no one ever gave me the book to read. It is brilliant and everyone who is interested in making changes whether it's personal or professional. In the world of 'self help' books this one seems to be forgotten. You owe it to yourself to read this one.

Excellent manual for changing addictive behaviours based on thorough research. Though written in 1998, it is very relevant today. I went into this book blind and was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon a gem. Put this in your must-read list, you'll find it invaluable at one point or another in your life.

Still working through it & I find it very helpful. Of course, it won’t be for everyone, but in my view defiantley worth a try!

An excellent book for anyone looking to develop motivational skills. It explains clearly the cycle of change and would be a good source of reference for anyone using this in their field of work.

This book was delivered fast. However I am struggling to carry on reading the book as its not as engaging.
