500 _achange your habits for good using self-compassion and understanding
520 _aThe Kindness Method is the key to breaking unwanted habits--for good! Combining her own therapeutic style, personal experiences, and techniques learned from working in the field of substance abuse, Shahroo Izadi shares simple steps that strengthen your willpower like a muscle, allowing you to sustain your motivation and make lasting change in your life. ; ; Shahroo's completely non-judgmental process for mapping and channeling your habits is based on the principle of treating yourself with the compassion and understanding that it is often only reserved for other people. From procrastination to issues of body image, this method works by creating a custom plan--mapped by you, for you, and driven by self-motivation. ; ; It is hard to change. Many are asked to do so at work, whenever a new leader or IT-­improvement or strategy is introduced. Yet how many times, in how many ways, does change simply not work, for personal reasons? U.K.-based behavioral change specialist Izadi leads readers through a process that will help them develop self-awareness, participate in nonjudgmental reflections, and, yes, welcome change for all the right reasons. It starts and ends with personalizable maps, which are important because every individual differs in goals, journeys, strengths, and capabilities. Izadi guides readers through a series of thought-provoking map-building exercises. How does feeling good look? What kind of support does a loved one need? She enumerates the issues around slow change and specific external tests. Though much of what Izadi advocates has worked well for addicts, she also boasts an enviable success record for those grappling with a number of other issues. Her involved and very reflective process may very well result in a more aware, more enriched life.--Barbara Jacobs Copyright 2019 Booklist
