Disrupting All or Nothing Thinking

$9.95

All-or-nothing thinking is easy to see but much harder to change among ourselves and the people we hope to help create healthier lifestyles. We’ve been socialized to believe in “no pain, no gain,” that we need to sweat for it to be meaningful, that if we can’t get in at least a hard 30-minute workout we may as well throw in the towel for the day. But as the World Health Organization and leading physical activity organizations now agree, everything counts—something is better than nothing.  Fortunately, there’s also emerging science and exciting new thinking that can help us finally help us disrupt this harmful all-or-nothing mindset that stands in the way of lasting change.

Sustainable-behavior-change researcher, lifestyle coach, fitness industry thought leader Michelle Segar has devoted almost three decades to the study of how to help people convert exercise from a chore into a gift and develop a desire to stick with it.  Based on her forthcoming book, The Joy Choice: How to Finally Achieve Lasting Changes in Eating and Exercise, this provocative presentation explains why our traditional change strategies and approaches don’t work and reveals new science-based and easy-to-use messages and methods that will.
