Publisher's summary

Little changes can make a big, big difference! 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.

If you're ready to change, this is the book

Would you listen to The Little Book of Big Change again? Why?

I mean, WOW!! For anyone like me that has struggled for decades with one or more unwanted habits, this book is a permanent game-changer. In addition to Amy's insights into the nature of thoughts & emotions as they relate to addictions, obsessions, compulsivity, etc. being spot on, her book is extraordinarily well written and refreshing in it's simple (but not simplistic), clear, easy approach. And it's completely devoid of all the usual psycho-baffle-gab so commonly found in the self help genre. As a result of the freedom I acquired through the insights written about by Amy, I am not only recommending this book to my own clients, I am retaining Amy as my own life coach. If you are looking to free yourself of one or more unwanted habits, even if you've tried everything under the sun, the answers in this book are what you're looking for. If you are already a practicer of mindfulness, this book will add even more to your understanding.

Incredibly valuable

With this beautifully simple premise, Dr. Amy Johnson offers an effective way to eliminate addiction or to change any habit that stands between us and the life we want.

Life Changing

This book has been sitting in my library for months. Not even realizing what it was about, or when I even purchased it, I decided to give it a listen. From the first few paragraphs I was hooked. This, in my opinion, is the best book on correcting bad habits, addictions, negative thinking, and so much more. Honestly grateful for this gem.

wow... Just wow!

Having just finished my first listen, I feel I need to go back and let myself absorb this fresh and logical concept. This is the root work... deep but practical work.

Amazing book!

It helps me see my thoughts in a new way, and of course my habits and addictions

Insightful and intelligent

This book was tremendously insightful and delivered in an intelligent way! I was less to this book first by binge breakers, then brain over binge and finally rational recovery. If you truly want to break any habit or so cdd add lord addiction, you WILL accomplish it through this method! Simply amazing!

Game! Changer!

I have read a ton of books on addiction (ie my “habit”) yet this brilliant little book filled with “well duh” yet “ah ha!” moments was a game changer for me. Brava Dr Johnson, thank you.

Best book! Helps break habits and teaches how to live in the moment!

I have listened to a lot of books. This one really helps you to understand your habits and how to break them. It also teaches you how to live in the moment which has always been a challenge for me. I have accomplished a lot in my life but it was hard for me to enjoy those accomplishments, until now!

Very insightful

It’s true, the way we think shapes our experience in life. Glad I read this. Straight to the point

Good material, challenging to get through.

I love the content and purpose of this book. It has some really great ideas and concepts. I'm not sure exactly what it was but I found it challenging to get through the book each time I turned it on. I feel like I was continually waiting to get to the point and couldn't wait for it to be over. I was waiting and waiting for the "how to" but never really arrived specifically. There's a lot of drawn out, repeat or unnecessary filler examples of people's issues. I feel like the essence of the material could've been presented in 45 minutes or less very effectively. But I do find the material itself very valuable and enlightening, and it shed some new light.
