Change is hard. Who hasn’t tried to make a change in their life only to have it fail? Is there a way to tilt the odds in your favor and make the process easier? Joining me to discuss this is Ross Ellenhorn. He is a sociologist, psychotherapist and social worker and author of the book How We Change (and 10 Reasons We Don’t) (https://amzn.to/2VeIUSx). He has some important advice on how to make changes – and make them stick.
Are we losing our ability to think for ourselves? After all, no matter what problem you have, there is some app or YouTube video or some expert with a solution.

Listen as he makes the case for more critical thinking when it comes to the big decisions in life and how to do it.
