Book Description | The book by Russ Ellenhorn, "How We Change and the Ten Reasons We Dont," offers a brilliant answer. As a physician and thought leader in mental health and addiction, he believes we often look in the wrong direction when trying to decode the factors that support human change. He suggests that it is far more fruitful to examine the reasons we don't change rather than working to understand the reasons we do. By considering the reasons for not changing, we give ourselves the best chance for actual change in meaningful ways. Ellenhorn explains how we are keen to remain in our familiar situations due to what he calls "the fear of hope," which is the act of protecting ourselves from further disappointment. He identifies the "ten reasons for not changing" to help us understand why we behave the way we do when faced with the challenge of hope. Among these reasons: - Changing means raising your expectations, and thus risking disappointing yourself. - Once you change, you become more responsible for making other changes than if you remained as you are. - When you change, your future becomes less predictable. - Changing means destroying the psychological structure you've built to commemorate past injuries. - When you change, you increase the likelihood of losing or disrupting your relationship with specific people every time. |
