But despite my wariness of the self-help genre, I found John C. Norcross's Changeology to be one such book . . . for most of the kinds of change that people are already trying to make, Changeology will prove to be a wonderful source of assistance. It has an easy-to-follow formula based on credible research--and even this wary mental health practitioner found it helpful."--Joseph Maldonado, MS, for PsychCentral.com "Changeology is a powerful tool for those seeking the happiness lasting change can bring.

He manages to translate this research into very specific steps within 5 major phases . . . .
