Award-winning Wharton Professor and Choiceology podcast host Katy Milkman has devoted her career to studying behaviour change. In this groundbreaking book, Milkman reveals a proven path that can take you from where you are to where you want to be, with a foreword from psychologist Angela Duckworth, the best-selling author of Grit. Set audacious goals. Foster good habits. Create social support. You've surely.

Katy Milkman shows in this book that we can all be a super human' Angela Duckworth, bestselling author of GritHow to Change, is a powerful, groundbreaking blueprint to help you - and anyone you manage, teach or coach - to achieve personal and professional goals, from the master of human nature and behaviour change and Choiceology podcast host Professor Katy Milkman. Award-winning Wharton Professor Katy Milkman has devoted her career to the study of behaviour change. An engineer by training, she approaches all challenges as problems to be solved and, with this mindset, has drilled into the roadblocks that prevent us from achieving our goals and breaking unwanted behaviours. She argues that the key to lasting change is not to set more audacious goals ever or to foster good habits but to get your strategy right. In How to Change, Milkman identifies seven human impulses, or 'problems', that commonly sabotage our positive personal and professional change attempts. Then, crucially, instead of getting you to do battle with these impulses, she shows you how to harness them and use these as driving forces to help instil new, positive behaviours - better, faster and more efficiently than you could imagine. Drawing her original research, countless engaging case studies and practical tools throughout to help you put her ideas into action, Milkman reveals a proven, inspiring path that can take you - once and for all - from where you are today to where you want to be.
