Comments on change
Trent Hamm has an interesting post on change at The Simple Dollar, mainly focused on changes in financial habits. I commented:
Change as a human process has been intensively studied, and the six stages of the process are now fairly well understood. At each stage, the person changing has specific tasks to accomplish and complete before the next stage emerges, so it does take time—and it can be quite confusing if you don’t understand the process that’s underway.
I highly recommend the book Changing for Good: The Revolutionary Program That Explains the Six Stages of Change and Teaches You How to Free Yourself from Bad Habits, by James Prochaska et al. You can find secondhand copies at the link.
