Description

This New York Times bestseller in hardcover edition is a bran-new book and nicely wrapped with protective book-wrapper. The original new book is sold at usual price RM110.25. Now here Only at RM28.

From one of America’s foremost authorities on personal change comes the blueprint for his cutting-edge system, showing readers how to execute permanent lifestyle changes in just five steps.

☞ Is there a scientific formula you can follow to change your life?

☞ Fed up with over-hyped self-help that doesn’t work?

☞ Or that inspires you for a week but leaves you demoralized and confused about behavior change?

Then here’s the proven science of self-change that takes you step-by-step for 90 days.

Changeology helps you understand, implement, and continue goals on your own.

Change is hard. But not if you know the 5-step formula that works whether you’re trying to stop smoking or start recycling.

An inability (or unwillingness) to change can present a formidable barrier to personal and career success. A more heartbreaking scenario is an individual who makes repeated attempts to change only to fall prey to the same stumbling blocks each time.

John C. Norcross, Ph.D., professor of psychology at the University of Scranton, has spent more than three decades researching and working with people to overcome behavioral challenges.

Dr. John C. Norcross, an internationally recognized expert, has studied how people make transformative, permanent changes in their lives.

Over the past thirty years, he and his research team have helped thousands of people overcome dozens of behavioral ailments. Now his cutting-edge, scientific approach to personal improvement is being made available in this indispensable guide.

Unlike 95 percent of self-help books, the Changeology plan has a documented track record of success. Whether you want to quit overeating or drinking, or end depression, debt, and relationship distress, Dr. Norcross gives you the tools you need to change what you want within 90 days.

Changeology shows you:

● How to define your goals and get started in a new direction

● How to pump up your motivation and prepare for self-change

● How to prevent relapses into old patterns

● How to master the skills that will help you sustain change

● How to personalize your journey with Check Yourself assessments and an inter- active website, www.ChangeologyBook.com.

Whatever your goal or resolution, you can use Changeology to achieve a life filled with greater health and happiness.

Changeology provides readers with five steps to execute a change. The steps:
● Psych,
● Prep,
● Perspire,
● Persevere and
● Persist

The Five-Steps are described in detail and matched to particular segments of the 90-day timeframe. For each step, Norcross provides exercises or instructions that give the Changeology method more structure than other personal change books that give a loose framework and rely on the reader to fill in the gaps.

One of the strongest sections of Changeology is Norcross’ deconstruction of five “self-defeating” myths about change. By attacking frequently named barriers, such as reliance on willpower and genetic inability to overcome certain behavior issues, Norcross gives readers a head-start on the mental journey to successful change.

One of the best parts of the book is that in the beginning you’re introduced to two real people who started this plan, and you follow their progress throughout the book to the end.

It’s a big help to see how others have made plans, stumbled, doubted, tried again, and succeeded. Dr. Norcross even shares his personal goals from weight loss to flossing every morning! Touches like these keep the topic fresh and personal.

“Changeology” has its own website with all the same forms as in the book so you can choose to keep a copy on your computer instead of on paper that could get lost. The website is very clear and easy to use. The forms look very nice when printed out, too.

Another great feature is that Dr. Norcross advises you to take on *two* changes at once. That surprised many readers!

To me it makes the process feel more interesting because you’re not just focused on one goal, one change, one plan of action. And really, who in real life gets to focus on just one thing at a time?

This book is great for helping you know what’s most important now and how to balance that with the other parts of your life.

Readers love how the steps can be applied to *anything* you want to change, anything at all. It’s had such a huge impact on my way of thinking that readers noticed themselves applying the methods in the book to other things in my life without actually meaning to.

Once you see how easy it can be to make great changes, you’ll start doing it all the time! I think you’ll revisit the whole process again, though, for other changes that you’d like to explore in detail.

Review From Psych Central : By Joseph Maldonado

There is an old joke that asks, “How many therapists does it take to change a light bulb?”

Answer: “Only one, but it has to want to change.”

Of course, changing ourselves is usually a lot harder than changing a light bulb. As a mental health professional, I have come across many different self-help books that were supposed to be life-altering. Clients and colleagues alike have often come to me saying, “you have to read this,” or “this book changed my life.”

Much of the time, however, the books they talk up offer a few helpful pieces of advice or interesting bits of personal philosophies, but not much more. I have rarely read one that I truly felt could bring real, meaningful change into a person’s life. But despite my wariness of the self-help genre, I found John C. Norcross’s Changeology: 5 Steps to Realizing Your Goals and Resolutions to be one such book.

One of the differences between this and other self-help texts is that it not merely based on theory or some feel-good ideology. Norcross, a clinical psychologist and professor of psychology and psychiatry, based Changeology on years of research that looked at what makes people change their behavior, as well as his own clinical experience. As a practitioner myself, I can actually get behind his findings.

The research, he tells us, shows that there are five distinct stages of change: precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance. But as the author notes, most people are not overly concerned about which stage they might be in.

Rather, he states, “people dedicated to change want to know what to do.” Norcross therefore uses these stages of change to determine the five steps a person should take to reach their goal. For each stage, he identifies corresponding types of actions.

The book gives encouragement to the reader, telling us that change is possible by reminding us that the author’s formula is based on more than 30 years of studies including thousands of individuals. It weaves in true-life stories, with examples of how others have used this five-step process to create their own changes.

One feature I found helpful is the “Check Yourself” boxes that are interspersed within chapters. These mini-assessments help the reader determine their understanding of each topic and assist with measuring progress toward a goal.

While the first part of the book focuses on the science behind Changeology, it is the second part, “Becoming a Changeologist in 90 Days,” that contains the meat of the text. Here, Norcross explains the specific actions he recommends in order to enact change.

The author uses some examples of common ambitions, such as losing weight, to illustrate his process. Some readers might think, “I want to improve my life, but I am who I am.” But, Norcross show us, changes in our behavior are possible, if not inevitable. Who hasn’t looked back a few years and thought to him- or herself, “I can’t believe I actually did that?”

Norcross makes a point of addressing the questions and doubts that might arise during his process, and provides satisfying answers to those naysayers who think that change might not be possible. He also does an excellent job explaining each part of his technique. Every step is broken down so that the reader understands not only exactly what they need to do, but also the reason behind doing it.

Norcross avoids psychological jargon, making the book easy to read. By the end, a reader can develop a well-defined goal, take deliberate action towards this goal, and also have a plan in place so that whatever change they have made will be long-lasting.

For those looking to make significant changes in their lives, Changeology provides a terrific outline. Of course, no self-help book, not even a good one, can be a substitute for professional therapy, and certain types of change may require more help (the author does provide resources for this in an appendix).

In addition, the book skips over the precontemplation stage of change, in which a person has no desire to alter a behavior. Norcross means instead to address those who already know they want to take action (quit cigarettes, for example) but may have difficulty doing so. So if you’re looking to convince a friend or family member that they need to change, but they don’t think they do, this isn’t the book for you.

However, for most of the kinds of change that people are already trying to make, Changeology will prove to be a wonderful source of assistance. It has an easy-to-follow formula based on credible research — and even this wary mental health practitioner found it helpful.
