How to Change: The Book That Gives You the Tools to Finally Follow Through
Hi, it’s Diana from Healthy Seniors, and I’m continuing my series on books I’ve read and enjoyed.
This time I’m sharing How to Change: The Science of Getting from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be by Katy Milkman. And I’ll be honest with you — I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked it up. Books about self-improvement can feel preachy or full of advice that sounds good in theory but falls apart in real life.
This one is different. Milkman is a behavioral scientist and professor at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, and she has spent her career studying not what people should do, but why they don’t — and what actually works to close that gap. The result is one of the most practical and genuinely useful books I’ve read in years.
If you’ve ever set a goal you didn’t reach, started a habit you couldn’t keep, or wanted to make a change and couldn’t quite get started — this book is for you. Which means it’s for almost all of us.
