It’s said that the only constant in life is change. It should be said that obstacles to change are another constant, and they’re too often standing between you and a life spent thriving. Whether you’re trying to better manage your money, exercise more, or stop addictive behaviors, making positive life changes can be a huge challenge. On top of the inner turmoil of struggling with a big life change, you may face external roadblocks in the form of friends, family, and colleagues who might not understand how to best support you. So, how do you prepare yourself for this journey toward healthy, positive change?
The Motivational Interviewing Path to Personal Change combines forty years of research-proven strategies along with skills from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help you get started on the path to positive change. Using motivational interviewing (MI) tools, you’ll identify specific behavioural targets you would like to work on. You’ll also learn to connect with your intrinsic motivation to figure out the “Why?” of your journey, so you can commit to positive behaviour changes consistent with your values. Finally, you’ll use your newfound skills to maximize your goals, overcome obstacles, and gain a healthier perspective on life.
If you’re ready to embark on a journey of self-reflection, determination, and improvement, let this guide show you the way to making real, sustainable changes. Go ahead, take the first step!

Reviews
This book is a gem! Having worked alongside Drapkin for many years, I have witnessed firsthand her applied science approach to human behavior and to truly helping people. This book combines her knowledge, excellent communication skills, empathy, and wit. Everyone will benefit from this book at their own pace, with limitless potential for positive impact in your life. It's truly wonderful to see such an important contribution to people's lives.
As we come to understand psychological principles more clearly, it becomes possible for people to learn and apply them in their own lives. In this clearly written book, Michelle Drapkin conveys insights from forty years of research on motivational interviewing (MI) that can be applied to understand and shape your own motivation for change.
In our normal self-critical frame of mind, motivation is something we don't have and can only get by taking the cotton out of our ears and shoving motivation into our thick skulls. It rarely works. This book gently asks compassionate and important questions, teaching us how to listen to our own deepest yearnings. Instead of shoving motivation in, this book artfully creates a space for the caring within to step forward and be known. Highly recommended.
