Practical tools to change yourself,
By
This review is from: The Habit Change Workbook: How to Break Bad Habits and Form Good Ones (Paperback)
If you have serious bad habits or little ones like my young son biting his nails, this book helps you layout the steps and work through the change, so that you can change a little at a time making it possible to ultimately affect a big change. Let's say 'step-by-step'.
The book seems to have been written based on experience to change obsessive-compulsive-disorder (OCD) habits into good ones. In many ways it is practical cognitive-behavior-therapy, helping you think through plan, prepare for and make the changes you want to make. The book includes both worksheets as well as examples, so it's very practical.

A Personal Lifesaver!,
By Patty E. Fleener "Webowner - Mental Health Today" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Habit Change Workbook: How to Break Bad Habits and Form Good Ones (Paperback)
I am the webowner of Mental Health Today.This excellent workbook will teach you how to deal with behaviors such as nail biting, skin picking, trichotillomania and addiction in regards to shopping, tv, internet, and gambling. Also focuses on changes in sleep habits, health & fitness, and relationship problems. They state the book can assist with obsessive compulsive disorder with further help. For chemical dependency issues, you are advised to seek professional help first and then use the workbook for overall lifestyle changes. This workbook could not have come at a better time for me. I've been working out for 6 months and out of the blue it is no longer fun and I'm now beginning to gently slide into my old workaholism pattern. I know that my old gym schedule needs to be changed and at the same time my work load at home has increased dramatically and I feel lost on how to organize my life and get myself motivated to get back to the gym and fight my workaholism. The workbook comes with just exactly what I need. Help in changing my thoughts and requires me to come up with a plan of action. For me, it has been a lifesaver and the timing could not have been more perfect. I recommend it! 37 of 38 people found the following review helpful:

Life changing,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Habit Change Workbook: How to Break Bad Habits and Form Good Ones (Paperback)
In a manner that is informative yet accessible the authors of this book take the reader through a description of habits, how they're formed, why we seek to change them and how to go about making positive and lifelong changes. In facing my own struggles with procrastination I found the down to earth strategies to be extremely helpful. I would reccommend this book to anyone who seeks to overcome a problem habit.

If you're serious,
By Professional Mom "typical consumer" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Habit Change Workbook: How to Break Bad Habits and Form Good Ones (Paperback)
I don't know if I'm obsessive compulsive or not, but I have a few habits that I engage in that I believe cause me guilt and anxiety and that I cannot quite get a handle on. I first checked this book out at the library and found myself quickly wanting to photocopy most of the pages. So, ultimately, I bought the book.
The book is full of worksheets and record charts - it seems 50/50 in terms of lecture/practical application. If you are into that, fine. At first, that put me off. I didn't want to write that much stuff down. But when I got further into the nuts and bolts of changing the habit, the pages I wanted to copy became greater and greater because the ideas and exercises were so thought-provoking and led me to eye-openers and ideas of how to change my life that I couldn't seem to grasp before. I don't know if I'll use this system step-by-step, but the good thing about the book is that I believe it still works and is an invaluable tool for self-examination whether you follow it that way or not. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the beginning was a bit tedious for an impatient self-starter like myself and to warn those who don't want to do any self-examination and just want a lecture to check this out at the library first. Otherwise, I really think that you cannot lose by having this book and I'm glad I'll have it in my library for years to come. |
