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

In the book you discuss that this isn't about changing the person it's about changing the process.

And in my case in my case it was this related to a family member we were in a band together I mean I was I'm a musician by by training I was in punk bands and growing up and would play with would play with him and we played the show why I was in grad school.

And so it started getting me questioning I had been at the time I was studying psychology I was studying behavior change is working with technologies and it got me thinking why not only he wasn't following through but so many of us pretty much all of us in at least some parts in our lives don't follow through with things that we plan to do so why is that

And really I narrowed it down to there's a two step process for getting people to change their behavior so step one is figure out what type of behavior you're trying to change there are three types of behaviors or what I call a B and C behaviors first step is figure out which type of behavior you're trying to change a B or C the second step is there are a different set of tools for changing.

in stick with it then you have come up with the framework of the acronym science to remember these seven tools are seven four seven.

In the book you discuss that this isn't about changing the person it's about changing the process.

And there's the conventional wisdom that will say okay if you want to change your behavior then become like someone else if you want to exercise more become like some fitness guru Richard Simmons was the example of look how happy is it.

But we've learned through our research that you know not only is that not true about become like another person and really trying to change yourself but it's pretty difficult to become a different person.

It's actually I say don't change the person change the process so through small tweaks in the way we do things through just little changes in our lives and there's a process for doing it that I'll go into.

in the book and stick with it you say well of course what he did was he immediately changes his diet never eats these things again and lives happily ever after but that wasn't really the case.

And in stick with it I put together that research both the historical research over the past decades of how to get people to change their behavior as well as cutting edge work from our own group and from other friends and colleagues.
