Backed by countless research studies, the stages of change model, developed by James Prochaska in collaboration with Carlo DiClemente, PhD, has revolutionized the field of behavior change.Through interactive exercises, Changing to Thrive will help you progress through the stages of change and learn that you have the power within to thrive.

They draw on cutting-edge theory and research on the transtheoretical model to explain what works (and what doesn't work) at different stages of change.
