About Take-Charge Living: How to Recast Your Role in Life in Six Acts: Ask anyone who's ever tried to quit smoking, get out of a bad relationship, lose weight or switch jobs: Sometimes it's just easier to give up than deal with the inevitable negative feelings that come along with attempting to change. Avoiding change isn't necessarily a sign of personal weakness. Research has found that our brains often throw up unnecessary "caution" signs when change is afoot, affecting the way we act, think and behave, even at a subconscious level. The result is we avoid change, even when we know the change would make us happier in the long run.
By connecting provocative findings from brain research with Jacobs' 30 years of clinical knowledge, Take-Charge Living deals directly with the critical issue of how to manage the inevitable negative emotions that hold people back from making the personal changes they want to make.
