review 1: Recently I read this book and felt it was very helpful and factual. I learned that one reason I have found it difficult to change is that I tried to change too many things at once. He recommends trying to change no more than 2-3 things at once, and then only if they are related (for example: eating right and exercising) and focusing on those areas for 90 days. I think it could easily be a useful self-help bible, and I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to change personally, but disliking flaky non-evidence based stuff. It bears re-reading to find more helpful tips, or to follow along with someone else, like a therapist. I subtracted one star, because it could have been more inspiring.
review 2: I'm just beginning the first quarter of the book, and I have to say I... more am surprised at some of the negative commentary. Yes, the author does present a lot of scientific evidence, and is at times, repetitive. However, I believe his 30-year record in this particular field does deserve credibility to justify his reasoning that this system isn't like the other 25,000 self-help books out there. The problem with people who read these kinds of books is they expect authors to skip right to the chase because they are so anxious to get into work mode. Thus, they forget that big changes require doing your due diligence and learning the techniques before jumping without preparation. less
