It can look like people don’t change. Or at the very least, like they don’t change easily. That’s not true though.We are capable of gigantic jumps in understanding; enormous leaps in consciousness that leave us feeling as if we’re living a completely different life even when nothing externally has changed.Of course, these leaps don’t happen
I just found out that my upcoming book (it’ll be published by New Harbinger this time next year) will be called The Little Book of Big Change: The No-Willpower Approach to Breaking any Habit.
