Description
Book SynopsisMaking a Change for Good will assist anyone to make a change of any kind, whatever the area—diet, fitness, stress, addictions, unskillful behaviors, anxiety, finances, spiritual practice…. Kind, compassionate encouragement for confronting personal issues head on and supportive tools for addressing the struggle are the differences in approach this book offers. Readers realize that lack clarity is the hindrance to addressing an issue, not lack of self-discipline. Rather than being caught in self-hating and self-blaming loops that veer us off course, we can learn to mentor ourselves, and this book teaches us how. The 30-day retreat at the end of the book provides a structure for practicing compassionate self-discipline.
