The Choice Point

The Scientifically Proven Method to Push Past Mental Walls and Achieve Your Goals

De: Joanna Grover LCSW, Jonathan Rhodes PhD

Narrado por: Tina Huang, Oliver Walker, Rachel Butera

Discover a scientifically proven method to overcome obstacles and make choices that lead us closer to our goals—featuring a foreword by Martina Navratilova.

When we choose to go to the gym at 6am, keep running that marathon, or stay up late to study, we are making conscious, value-based decisions that help us fulfill our goals. But even though we know that daily good choices add up to healthy routines and strong results, these days it’s just too easy to surrender to negative thoughts and old habits. How can we not?

Enter Functional Imagery Training (FIT). Grounded in science, FIT helps us lengthen our Choice Point: that moment when we say to ourselves, “Am I going to make the healthy decision, or am I going to choose to take an action that I know will undermine my success?” Merging mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and cognitive behavioral therapy into a user-friendly model—the first non-academic book of its kind—The Choice Point grants us control of the decisions that define us.

Jonathan Rhodes, a British psychologist, helped develop FIT, and Joanna Grover, an experienced therapist and coach, was the first person in the U.S. to be certified in FIT. Together, they work where science meets imagination to achieve peak performance, and their tools help us get to the root of our motivation. They’ve trained Olympians, C-Suite executives, and elite forces in the military to hack their autopilot systems and break records in their respective fields. The Choice Point is the roadmap they’ve built along the way, leading us from passengers to drivers of our own minds.

I bet the author visualized good reviews

Robert Bly comes full circle even though his name is not mentioned once in the book. Thanks John Kabat-Zin. I feel honored to be the first review.

Something I struggle with is catastrophising and negative imagery. Its amazing to me that the bad things become reality. I actually feel guilt when I imagine myself in good situations. I may be a unique case... or not.

I guess I need lots of practice, which this book lays out the process in LAP and SLAP.

Good luck to everyone seeking. May you find what you've been looking for.

Robotic narration.

Narration leaves a lot to be desired and colors the experience of listening to the book. Narrater does feel connected nor interested to the material and at best 3 stars.

Could have been an article.

Nothing very new here. The big take away, be more specific and detailed in your visualizations.
