About this audiobook
A stunning new approach to how individuals can not only change their lives for the better in the workplace, but also their lives away from the office, including (but not limited to) finding ways to improve one's working relationship with others, one's overall health, outlook on life, and so on.
For example, why is it that 95% of all diet attempts fail? Why do New Year's Resolutions last no more than a few days? Why can't people with good intentions seem to make consistent and positive strides in the way they want to improve their careers, financial fitness, physical fitness, and so on?
Based upon the latest research in a number of psychological and medical fields, the authors of CHANGE ANYTHING will show that traditional will-power is not necessarily the answer to these strivings, that people are affected in their behaviors by far more subtle influences. CHANGE ANYTHING shows how individuals can come to understand these powerful and influential forces, and how to put these forces to work in a positive manner that brings real and meaningful results.
The authors present an array of everyday examples that will change and truly empower you to reexamine the way you go about your business and life.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Surprisingly useful for a self-help book. Advises that changing involves more than just will power or force of character, but a set of skills and techniques, that if brought into play along with self awareness, will enable you to make any personal changes you require. Very much of it's genre but worth studying and working with. I'ts working for me already...
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great plan and easy to implement with great life case studies.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great book for anyone looking to make a real change.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5The whole thing could be condensed into a 30 minute power point. And even then it would be light on substance. Kerry Patterson seems incapable of writing in complete sentences.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I discovered this book while reading Psychology Today. The book has a simple premise: Identify your crucial moments (when you behave in a way you would like to change), then implement vital behaviours to achieve your desired change. But to do this, you need take into account the six influencers, covering the aspects of willpower and social and environmental influences, and stack the odds in your favour. The work states that there is a science to personal change, and it requires one to be both the scientist and subject. I draw many parallels here with Stoicism, in that the reader's attention is drawn to things within their control, and as scientist, there is a need to practice through trial and error until discovering what works for you. What I like about this work is that it draws on research conducted by the Change Anything Labs in Utah. It is not just a collection of snippets from elsewhere, but draws on the experiences of participants in the research. It sometimes reads like your typical self-help book, but the systematic way to bring about personal change provides a program that gives one the best chance of changing oneself for the better. The change subject areas hit almost everybody: losing weight, ridding oneself of an addiction, and improving one's relationship. The work is well-referenced and I can see myself returning to it again and again, as I had hoped when I first read a snippet of the work on Psychology Today. What I like most is that the book is scientific and supported by research, and it is inconspicuously Stoic in its approach. This has enabled me to take on board what needs to be learnt without my usual sneering at self-help books designed primarily to make the author rich or famous. The book also sets a standard in bringing academic work to the masses in a meaningful way, but without compromising the academic integrity of the work. In that, the work is very clever.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Change Anything is about personal change management. No matter what in your life needs change: finance, weight loss, relationships, addictions -- the same set of processes can be applied to each in order to achieve lasting success. The authors drum home the message that change isn't something to bear down and gut out on ones own accord; we need the help of others: sometimes, in the form of replacing "friends" that are enabling the bad behavior we would like to change; and sometimes, by actively seeking new skills to learn what you don't know. Six different change elements are identified and applied to case studies demonstrating it's success in real world application.The case studies are good and motivating. The change elements are not unreasonable -- one doesn't have to overcome a lot of inertia to implement them. While I haven't yet tried it yet, success certainly seems plausible given my experience with professional (and organizational) change management. The key difference is this methodology should be easy enough for anyone to grasp.One minor complaint: the authors have an accompanying website, which they pimp way too often during the course of the book. This had the effect of coming off like an infomercial -- something I've inherently grown to distrust.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One of the best books I have read on change. Their theory is that willpower for change is overrated. Then they go through a systematic way to approach change which is very uplifting. The power of this book comes from the way they made this theory so easy to understand and apply. Love that the second half of the book is detailed examples. I have found all Kerry Patterson’s books to be excellent.
