How We Change by Ross Ellenhorn
and Ten Reasons Why We Don't
An exploration of why personal change so often stalls and how to make it more likely, arguing that it’s not a failure of willpower but the riskiness of hope and the social contexts we live in. Drawing on research and clinical experience, it shows how shame, fear of disappointment, identity threats, and isolating systems keep us stuck, and offers a humane approach that emphasizes curiosity, small experiments, and supportive relationships that make trying new behaviors feel safer. By shifting from self-blame to building conditions that reduce risk and increase connection, it reframes change as a collaborative, iterative process rather than a solitary act of resolve.
