Change

In Michael's new book Change: Six Science-Backed Strategies to Change Your Brain, Body, and Behavior, he provides readers with a formula for change. By leveraging the latest research into the science, and neuroscience of change, Michael gives readers practical tools for personal transformation. His goal is simple—to give readers a personal system for change that leverages one's unique brain and experiences to increase the chances of successful transformation. In Section I, Michael shares his own change journey as well as several foundational scientific principles that drive, or limit, our ability to change. In Section II, Michael dives deep into six science-backed strategies that accelerate our ability to transform. From shifting our environment to rebuilding our relationship with stress to creating sufficient focus for change, Michael gives the reader both a deep understanding of the science as well as practical tools to implement. In Section III, Michael gives the reader a four-phased process (Reflect, Shift, Adopt, Adapt) that allows them to apply the learnings to their own personal formula for growth and transformation. As each of our histories, experiences, and goals are different, Michael's objective is to ensure that each of us has the knowledge to build our own, customized transformation program. As Michael notes in the book, "There is a formula for change. But change is not formulaic." This book is an essential read for anyone struggling to achieve their goals, whether in business or in life. The principles, strategies, and tools shared in this book will unquestionably alter your understanding of how to change and give you a framework for achieving your goals.
