The book is very readable and the real-life examples woven throughout add a change of pace from the psychological treatise that comprises the rest of the book. Recommended.

  This book explains the model of change in a straightforward and applicable manner. Contains great examples and stories relevant to change, and the material is presented in a clear and intelligent manner. It will prove to be a great tool to use in my practice.
