Stick with It: A Scientifically Proven Process for Changing Your Life—for Good

This #1 Wall Street Journal–bestselling guide presents scientifically proven strategies for altering bad behaviors—forever. Whether it's absent-minded mistakes at work, a weakness for junk food, a smart phone addiction, or a lack of exercise, everyone has some bad habit or behavior that they'd like to change. But wanting to change and actually doing it—and sticking with it—are two very different things. Behavioral science expert Dr. Sean Young knows a great deal about our habits: how we make them and how we can break them. In Stick with It, he presents crucial knowledge and practical advice to help us alter our actions and improve our lives. Drawing on his own scientific research and that of other leading experts, he identifies the crucial forces that combine to make transformation permanent. He also shares useful "neurohacks" to shortcut the brain's counterproductive instincts. Stick with It is a powerful corrective to the outdated science of habits, offering a next generation discussion of how habits can change behavior with the right approach. Packed with pragmatic exercises and real success stories, it shows that we really can control spending, stick to a diet, become more social, exercise regularly, stop compulsively checking e-mail, and overcome problem behaviors—forever.
