Description
This book lets you take a humorous look at yourself in the mirror and gives you a better idea of your habits and behavioral patterns. Which habits reduce your quality of life and how can you get rid of them? For example, would you like to exercise regularly, lose weight or stop smoking but your brain continuously finds reasons not to get out of bed in the mornings, or to just have that one tiny piece of chocolate as an exception, or to postpone your non-smoking career to a later date? At forty at the latest, not only are we responsible for our weight, but also for our face and our posture. Habits embed themselves in our thoughts, relationships, facial expressions and even our body shape.
The first steps to get out of those ruts:
Step 1: Stocktaking at the “Creatures of Habit" Zoo.
Step 2: Analysis of habits and behavioral patterns.
Step 3: How do we replace negative habits with positive ones?
Findings:
1. Our brain is often brilliant at finding justifications in order to keep as much as possible stuck in its usual rut.
2. We shouldn’t try to defeat our inner demon. We should win it over to our side!
3. We need to escape from our “habit trapsâ€, from naivety, incompetence, ignorance, inconsequence and harmful identifications with other people or things.
What readers have to say: authentic, interesting, entertaining, humorous, never pedantic, food for thought, stimulates you into action, has the required depth, professionally sound, recommendable, fun to read! Other opinions: no great work of literature, expected more, unscientific, weird, readable but could be developed further. As you know, different people have different views and opinions. Form your own!
Look forward to a pleasurable and worthwhile read!
The contents are the results of personal experience and 25 years’ of work in behavioral and communication skills training with thousands of students. This book is based on articles published by the author in his blog: www.hirnschrittmacher.eu
