For the last three months, he has been living on a sidewalk across the street from a Greyhound bus station. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI don’t know how long David has been homeless. He is one of America’s walking wounded—mentally ill, unable to take care of himself, unable to cope with the business of life. He is always happy to talk, although you have to repeat yourself a few times before he can understand you: David is losing his hearing.     \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne day I tried to take him to a shelter for the homeless. All he had to do was get in the pickup truck. He had to make a decision: Get in or stay on the street. The right decision could have started the cycle of healing and change, but it was more than David was capable of doing that morning. He decided to stay on the street, waiting for his imaginary ride to El Paso. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen I meet people like David, I tell myself that Lewis Carroll didn’t make anything up when he wrote Alice in Wonderland. I have met many people who are flesh and blood Cheshire Cats, Mad Hatters, and Queens of Hearts. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI come into contact every day with people whose lives and families have been torn apart by bad habits: people addicted to cigarettes, alcohol, and illegal drugs; over-spenders, overeaters, and chronic worriers; negative thinkers, procrastinators, and people who won’t forgive themselves for something that happened long ago. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI have seen firsthand how bad habits keep ordinary people from living happier and healthier lives. Everywhere you look, people want to know why they are unhappy. And they want to know what they can do about it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe talk shows offer a constant menu of miracle cures for every type of bad habit imaginable—everything from quick weight-loss programs to 20-minute lessons in positive thinking that promise to cure depression. We are constantly bombarded by programs that promise effortless and immediate results: Lose weight fast, while eating as much as you want! Guaranteed to work! Sure.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe are overwhelmed with solutions today. And the more solutions there are, the harder it is to find one that works. Many people have failed so many times that they’ve almost given up the battle. Others gave up a long time ago. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction 3\u003cbr\u003eCan People Really Change? 3\u003cbr\u003eEstablishing new priorities 4\u003cbr\u003eThe six stages in the process of self-change 5\u003cbr\u003eStage 1 7\u003cbr\u003eRemoving the Blinders 7\u003cbr\u003eSelf-destructive behavior 8\u003cbr\u003eHelping relationships 8\u003cbr\u003eStage 2 11\u003cbr\u003eAwareness—When You Know You Have a Problem 11\u003cbr\u003eDanger signs 11\u003cbr\u003eGetting unstuck 12\u003cbr\u003eStage 3 15\u003cbr\u003ePlanning Your Personal D-Day 15\u003cbr\u003ePreparing for a total lifestyle change 16\u003cbr\u003eBeware of procrastination 18\u003cbr\u003eStage 4 19\u003cbr\u003eAttacking the Problem 19\u003cbr\u003eHow to defeat daily temptations 19\u003cbr\u003eReward yourself 20\u003cbr\u003eStage 5 22\u003cbr\u003eWinning the Battle 22\u003cbr\u003eWhat causes people to relapse? 23\u003cbr\u003eStage 6 25\u003cbr\u003eFree at Last! 25\u003cbr\u003eOur potential for change 25\u003cbr\u003eResources 27","brand":"Lian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079494713584,"sku":"2940013408463","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013408463_p0.jpg?v=1763580513","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013408463","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
