bookshelves: audiobooks, nonfiction, self-help, heal-the-world
While this book is a little repetitive, the concepts and concrete examples are fantastic. Arnold's main premise is that instead of getting totally overwhelmed trying to make sweeping changes in your life, the only way to truly alter your habits is to identify specific, measurable actions you can take--no more than two at a time--and focus on doing those relentlessly until they become automatic and no longer require any conscious effort, then move on to the next small shift, and so on. Sometimes this means altering your routine; sometimes this means altering your internal dialogue.

The hardest part for me is deciding where to start. So next up: finding a quiet hour to do some soul-searching to decide what is bothering me the most and what is a small change I could make that would have a positive impact and focus on continuing to do it, no matter what.

I borrowed the eAudiobook of this from my library, but I may need to buy my own copy to refer back to when I need a refresher. ]]> Review7131128561 Sat, 28 Dec 2024 17:36:07 -0800 /review/show/7131128561 Erin gave 3 stars to Let's Get Quizzical (Audiobook) by Kelly Ohlert
