Amy Johnson, PhD - The Little Book of Big Change: The No-Willpower Approach to Breaking Any Habit (2016) [1 MOBI, 1 EPUB]|2.53 MB
Little changes can make a big, big difference! Â In The Little Book of Big Change,
psychologist Amy Johnson shows you how to rewire your brain and overcome your bad habits—once
and for all.
No matter what your bad habit is, you have the power to change it. Drawing on a powerful
combination of neuroscience and spirituality, this book will show you that you are not your
habits. Rather, your habits and addictions are the result of simple brain wiring that is easily
reversed. By learning to stop bad habits at the source, you will take charge of your habits and
addictions for good.
Anything done repeatedly has the potential to form neural circuitry in the brain. In this light,
habits and addictions are impersonal brain wiring problems that result from taking your habitual
thinking as truth, and acting on that thinking in the form of doing your habit—over and over.
This book offers a number of small changes you can make in your everyday life that will help you
stop your bad habit in its tracks.
If you want to understand the science behind your habit, make the decision to end it, and commit
to real, lasting change, this book will help you to finally take charge of your life—once and
for all.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“I loved reading this book! The Little Book of Big Change will help the field of addictions and
anyone suffering from a debilitating habit to find an easier, more enlightened path to full
recovery, not only from habits and addictions, but a recovery of the innate health that is all of
our birthright. I will encourage all the treatment centers I work with to use this as a course
book for treatment. Johnson has moved the field forward to a new paradigm of treatment and
recovery from addictions.â€
—Joseph Bailey, MA, LP, licensed psychologist, author of The Serenity Principle, and coauthor
of Slowing Down to the Speed of Life
“The clarity, wisdom, and practicality of this book are simply extraordinary and unmatched in
the field of addiction, making it the absolute number one read for anyone struggling with or
treating destructive habits. A powerful and radiant light that brings instant relief, hope, and
peace of mind.â€
—Erika Bugbee, MA, partner and cofounder of the Online Learning Division at Pransky &
Associates
“The Little Book of Big Change is going to be a game changer for my counseling practice. I
can’t wait to share this book with my clients. Amy writes in such a simple, commonsense way
about what’s behind all habits...whether behaviors or thoughts that we would like to see
change. It is a ‘one-size-fits-all’ kind of book. I see big changes ahead for all who read
this book (including myself)!â€
—Karen Miller Williams, Three Principles practitioner and mental well-being expert for over
thirty-five years, emotional well-being educator, counselor, coach, and consultant
“This book completely overturns current ideas about addiction, the people who suffer with them,
and the human ability for change. Amy not only provides hope and a simple solution for
eliminating addictive behaviors, she offers a profoundly hopeful look at the ability we all have
to feel more at peace in life.â€
—Mara Gleason, MSW, cofounder of One Thought, a leading global company that helps individuals
and businesses unleash their greatest potential through clear thinking
“I love this groundbreaking book! It frees people from the misguided idea that breaking
self-destructive habits takes willpower, ‘bootstrap pulling,’ tools, techniques, or thought
reconditioning! It helps people see the innocence of their self-defeating habits so they can let
go of guilt and blame. It helps people realize that they have all the mental health they need
already inside of them. It shows people how to use the power of thought in their best interest.
When people grasp these new insights, their habits naturally melt away.â€
—Thomas M. Kelley, PhD, associate professor at Wayne State University, and licensed
psychologist
“When Amy Johnson speaks of spirituality in this book, she is not playing lightly. Johnson
speaks of a spirituality that both moves the universe and is also at the heart of ending
addiction. This book reveals psychospiritual principles that are the essence of all spiritual
teachings, and finally, tie spirit and science together. The information in this book can free
you not just from addiction to behaviors, but from addiction to thoughts, the real culprit! A
clear, profound, well-written, and revolutionary book.â€
—Ami Chen Mills-Naim, author of The Spark Inside and State of Mind in the Classroom, and
founder of Ami Chen Coaching and Education
“Thanks to this powerful book, I’ve been Googling ‘How to Build a Time Machine,’ because,
my gosh, I would have loved this book back when my worst addiction (habit) was ruining me, but I
find now it also works, as a system, to delete even the smallest of current annoying habits! Very
highly recommended!â€
—Steve Chandler, author of Time Warrior
“Amy’s potentially life-changing book gets right to the heart of who we really are: spiritual
beings already and always healthy at our core. Amy’s presentation of the spiritual
understanding of the Three Principles provides genuine hope that everyone already has what it
takes to be free of their addictions and habits!â€
—Dicken Bettinger, EdD, retired licensed psychologist, and founder of Three Principles
Mentoring
“Combining modern neuroscience with timeless spiritual principles, Amy Johnson delivers a new
understanding of habits that is both fascinating and practical, liberating and simple. She
explains why harmful habits aren’t powerful, stable parts of who we are, but temporary logjams
that cloud our natural state of well-being. Johnson helps her readers put aside faulty thoughts
and urges, and points them toward the guidance of their innate wisdom. Anyone with a harmful
behavioral or mental habit needs to read this book!â€
—Kathryn Hansen, author of Brain over Binge
“Absolutely brilliant! The Little Book of Big Change is a game changer and is now officially
one of my favorite self-help books. Authentic, gentle, and wise, Johnson masterfully leads us to
life-changing insights—it’s impossible to read this book and not immediately feel better in a
long-lasting, ‘I see,’ way. If you’re stuck on some habit, read this book! You will likely
get more than you can imagine.â€
—Lisa Esile, coauthor of Whose Mind Is It Anyway?
