Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
How to Change is a powerful, groundbreaking blueprint to help you - and anyone you manage, teach or coach - to achieve personal and professional goals, from the master of human nature and behaviour change and Choiceology podcast host Professor Katy Milkman.
Award-winning Wharton professor Katy Milkman has devoted her career to the study of behaviour change. An engineer by training, she approaches all challenges as problems to be solved and, with this mindset, has drilled into the roadblocks that prevent us from achieving our goals and breaking unwanted behaviours. The key to lasting change, she argues, is not to set ever more audacious goals or to foster good habits but to get your strategy right.
In How to Change, Milkman identifies seven human impulses, or 'problems', that commonly sabotage our attempts to make positive personal and professional change. Then, crucially, instead of getting you to do battle with these impulses, she shows you how to harness them and use these as driving forces to help instil new, positive behaviours - better, faster and more efficiently than you could imagine.
Drawing her own original research, countless engaging case studies and practical tools throughout to help you put her ideas into action, Milkman reveals a proven, inspiring path that can take you - once and for all - from where you are today to where you want to be.

Change is chronic
Great to listen to this at ‘fresh start’ of New Year (thanks Tim Harford for recommendation) but would recommend at any time. Listened as Audio as started new routine for 10,000 steps a day & so many helpful ways to make this habit stick. Also listen to end including thank yous as it is good to hear what a team effort this was and how change is like a chronic condition that needs constant nudging
Thank you

Backed up by research, presented effectively
Loved this book so much. The summary after each chapter highlighting the various techniques is so useful. You buy into it so much more knowing the route to the habit change discoveries too-studies etc. Also, really well read. Highly recommend.

Exceptional
This is a book that is unbelievably well written - it is clear precise and no unnecessary anecdotes or excessively complicated words - it is a truly wholesome book which guides you through everything one needs to know - Im confident no other secular book does better in this regard and I've read quite a few

It might be just me..
Just started to listen to this book as it sounds interesting but I’m struggling with the authors voice, I know I probably shouldn’t say this but it grates on my eyeballs. The top end nasal nature has me wincing with every sentence, hopefully it’ll fade into the background as I get used to it and it might be like when I hear something like a ticking clock at night, I fixate on it until I have to get up and turn it off.. as I said, it could be my problem but it has stopped me from listening to the pod cast as well..
Please ask James earl Jones to do the next one..
Update, no couldn’t hack it.. had to stop listening.

Good material and well read
Good collection of various studies that were done at various places to understand human behaviour. Good chapter summaries at the end and easy to use practical applications. If you have read The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg and liked it, you will like this one too.

The rising intonation on the second word of just about every sentence made me want to smash my iPhone
Horribly delivered by what sounds like an unconvincingly upbeat android. Ruined the book for me.
