Changing Health Behaviours: Techniques to change your life for the better

Changing Health Behaviours is a book and CD to help you improve your health and wellbeing.

The book contains sound basic advice on what a healthy lifestyle consists of and, more importantly, personal change techniques that actually work to enable you to adopt a more healthy lifestyle. It includes a simple but practical introduction to using self-hypnosis and material on habit change, emotional management and change planning and execution, so that you have both a destination and a map for how to get there.

The CD which accompanies the book holds 20 hypnotherapy tracks in MP3 format, which provide the third key element: a set of walking shoes to actually get you where you want to go. 

A section at the end of each chapter of the book indicates which tracks to listen to in order to help you make the shifts of thinking, feeling and behaviour that are discussed in that chapter.

Bill from Wainuiomata says:

The book is nicely presented, easy to read and contains well research[ed] and helpful advice. At this stage I am mainly interested in stress reduction and good sleep and the relevant audio tracks definitely help with this...

Graham of the Think Happy blog says in a very positive review:

...a book that possesses a rare quality nowadays: it is actually worth reading! At the very least, the book presents tested, simple techniques of personal change as well as easy-to-follow information about how to become healthier and happier people... [T]here is so much good information here, collected together in one place, accessibly written, than this is a book I will be recommending far and wide.
