Make Change That Lasts : 9 Simple Ways to Break Free from the Habits That Hold You Back

Please note that this US edition is printed in color.

Bestselling author Dr. Rangan Chatterjee returns with his most innovative book to date, revealing how to make positive change that actually lasts.

We all have things we rely on going our way to help us feel calm and happy. Your partner waking up in a good mood. No traffic on the way to work. No lines at the supermarket. And no rain on your day off.

But what happens when things don’t work out that way? We fall back on soothing habits. A trip to the cupboard for snacks. Scrolling social media. A few beers or a couple of glasses of wine after a stressful day.

Make Change that Lasts reveals the hidden ways day to day life causes these responses—and shows you how to respond to them consciously through:

• Hearing and understanding the music of our own bodies
• Letting go of hero worship
• Embracing discomfort
• Learning to take less offense
• Expecting adversity
• Accepting that you are not your past
• Decoupling busyness from success
• Giving more than you get

Blending ancient philosophy with a deep understanding of health, host of one of the most popular podcasts on the planet, Feel Better, Live More, Dr. Rangan Chatterjee provides a personalized approach and simple techniques for reducing our reliance on the chaotic and uncertain outside world—to help us become an expert in ourselves so we can finally unlock true, long-lasting health and happiness.
