Young For DOWNLOAD Review “Sean Young has taken psychology research and applied it outside the research lab, helping people make lasting changes to their behaviors. In this book, he shares a process and tools so that we can make these changes ourselves.” (Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take) “Behavioral scientists have been...much less successful at showing us how to make change last. With Stick with It, Sean Young has come to the rescue, offering a system for generating lasting change that is both scientifically grounded and personally implementable. It’s a winner.” (Robert Cialdini, New York Times bestselling author of Influence and Pre-Suasion) “Stick with It helps you go from wanting to change to actually doing it. Sean Young breaks down the science behind behavior change and offers practical and effective strategies for changing your life.” (Amy Morin, author of 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do) “It’s a must-read for anyone who’s been unable to keep a new year’s resolution, improve their work productivity, or failed at

making a lasting change in any other area of their life or work.” (Jonah Berger, New York Times bestselling author of Contagious) From the Back Cover Whether it’s absentminded mistakes at work, a weakness for junk food, a smartphone addiction, or a lack of exercise, everyone has a bad habit or behavior that they’d like to change. But wanting to change and actually doing it—sticking with it to make that change permanent—are two very different things. Dr. Sean Young, an authoritative new voice in the field of behavioral science and the director of the UCLA Center for Digital Behavior and the UC Institute for Prediction Technology, knows a great deal about our behavior and how we can change it—for the better. Stick with It is his fascinating look at the science of lasting behavior, filled with crucial knowledge and practical advice to help everyone successfully alter their actions and improve their lives. As Dr. Young explains, much of what we’ve been taught about behavior change is wrong; contrary to popular belief, you don’t change behavior by changing the person or their personality—you do it by changing the process. Drawing on his own scientific research with patients and research participants, along with research from other leading experts in the field, he identifies the seven crucial forces that combine to make lasting personal transformation, including• Stepladders: how the power of incremental steps creates long-term change.• Community: how social support and competition fuel change and keep us accountable. • Neurohacks: how a set of mental shortcuts can reset the brain so that people can finally change old unwanted behaviors. • Engraining Good Habits: how success in life and work depends on developing the right behavioral routines. Packed with pragmatic approaches and stories of real people who have used them successfully, Stick with It shows that it is possible to control spending, stick to a healthy diet, become more social, exercise regularly, stop compulsively checking email, and overcome problem behaviors—forever.

By Steve Gladis Dieters won’t stick to diets, patients won’t take their meds, and businesses can’t get customers to stay with them. Why? Personality, heredity, or just bad luck? It’s hard to “stick with it”— for things like diet, sleep, exercise, and whatever else is important to you—unless you construct a process around “it.” Sean Young’s research and practice have identified seven forces or principles behind lasting change. He uses the mnemonic S-C-I-E-N-CE to help us remember these forces: Stepladders (small steps can lead to big changes); Community (we’re pack animals, and follow the herd); Important (things must matter to us); Easy (we do ‘easy’ first); Neurohacks (we act ourselves into change); Captivating (we all like a wow factor); and, Engrained (repetition deepens habits in our brains). Young then shows how these 7 forces can be applied selectively to alter three key behaviors (the ABCs): Automatic, Burning, and Common problems. Using stories, studies, and statistics, the author drives home his process for making lasting changes.

By FLASH For real, its like this book was written for me and me alone. I set out plan to do somethings but procrastination kills me a lot and sometimes i even start and fail to complete or keep postponing. After reading "Stick With It" I realized the scientific reasons that happens. This book really thought me how I can overcome this unfavourable feeling. Thanks to the author. 24 of 25 people found the following review helpful. I'm sticking with this book! By Robyn Wright I listened to the audiobook which was pretty entertaining. Stick with It is for people like me who always set out to do something, but never complete the task at hand. I am always planning to do

things, and I do for a while...but then I get bored and quit. But why? This book tells you scientifically WHY that happens and how you can break that habit! Setting small goals or using step ladders to get things done. As in planning steps that keep you on track to reach the goal you set out for yourself. Some of this seems like it common sense, but when you actually read it and let it sink in, you have an "ah ha" moment. I will apply this book to my life, as I really do need to start "sticking with it" I really do like the different stories in each chapter about people trying to break this habit and how it affects their every day when they do stick with it and keep going, such as the socially awkward guy who made the steps to practice talking to others in increments. Don't just jump head first into things...use the step ladders and inch your way through! Set goals for the week...for the month...and see how you do! I'm going to reflect more of my progress and reward myself for sticking with my goals and things that I start in general. I don't expect my life to change overnight from this book, but it really does bring things to light for me, and it was easy to understand. I tend to shy away from these types of books because of all the scientific jargon, but I could understand and relate to this book...making the information stick with me :) See all 47 customer reviews...
