Today we’re sharing an excerpt from the audiobook The Little Book of Big Change, written by psychologist Amy Johnson.

No matter what your bad habit is, you have the power to change it. Drawing on a powerful combination of neuroscience and spirituality, this book will show you that you are not your habits. Rather, your habits and addictions are the result of simple brain wiring that can be easily changed. If you want to understand the science behind any bad habit, make the decision to end it, and commit to real, lasting change, this audio book will help you to finally take charge of your life—once and for all.

In this excerpt, Dr. Johnson shares a surprising truth about willpower: It often fails people when they are in the grip of their urges, and need it most, as well as how you can best approach the thoughts that urge you to give in to old habits.
