What causes human beings to make a significant change in their lives, a transformative shift in thinking and actions?

Today, psychologists and therapists who sit with clients session after session have a unique window into the human psyche, watching the rhythms of change unfold in front of them every day, and yet the process remains a mystery.

Taking that as his starting point, Jeffrey Kottler leads the reader on an exploration of human behavior, seeking to find out what it is that really makes adifference that can lead to transformative and lasting change.
