Description
The Kindness Method is the key to breaking unwanted habits—for good! Combining her own therapeutic style, personal experiences, and techniques learned from working in the field of substance abuse, Shahroo Izadi shares simple steps that strengthen your willpower like a muscle, allowing you to sustain your motivation and make lasting change in your life.
Shahroo’s completely non-judgmental process for mapping and channeling your habits is based on the principle of treating yourself with the compassion and understanding that it is often only reserved for other people. From procrastination to issues of body image, this method works by creating a custom plan—mapped by you, for you, and driven by self-motivation.

I have long believed in the power of self-kindness to instigate personal change and am delighted to find this book which explains why and how in beautiful detail. The author is really on to something here. The information and suggested changes are simple yet life changing!
Thanks to NetGalley, the author and publisher for an advanced reading copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This is a self help book with a difference. It's not a book that encourages you to bin all the ones you've read before, but allows you to build this into what you already do.
It's clear and well written, with no waffle that people won't and don't read: I find it comforting to be given a background about the author.

tl;dr: Kindness is transformational
This self-help book is unlike many, in that it starts from a position of kindness. This book is truly non-judgmental. I have read scores of changing habits books, some better than others. But, this book is the first that I felt didn't judge my failures (I realize books are inanimate). The author felt generous in her attitude. She made all the topics and advice relevant and approachable. Her approach is entirely feasible, start by being kind with yourself. Her approach also uses many visualizations such as mind mapping. Any visual thinker will be able to see the value in these exercises, and many who believe they aren't visual thinkers likely will also. I found this book invaluable, reading the book alone made me feel more capable of changing, and I have already begun finding ways to use her tools.
Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
