Find the root cause of what's keeping you stuck and fix it in three simple steps

"The concept of change and how to achieve it was an idea I would have classified under 'why try to reinvent the wheel?' However, Chris has a thought-provoking bluntness that captivates with its fresh take on what it means to seek and create change, and to break free from the proverbial shackles that lock the human psyche into conformity and stagnation. While the thought of change can be scary, it's inevitable. Growth through that change is a choice and that's where the scary part comes in¯but it can be as easy as following the yellow brick road."
--DANI SPEEGLE, 5X CrossFit Games Athlete and Winner of NBC's The Titan Games Season 2

"In this book, Chris provides simple guidance to break free from stagnation by changing the language you use. A clear method to pursue your dreams with clarity and confidence by reshaping your self-image."
--KASH RASTAN, CEO and Associate Producer of Think and Grow Rich, and USA Today's top 3 wealth coaches in America

Nothing is more frustrating than living alongside the fast-paced changes of today only to feel more stuck than ever--both personally and professionally. Upwards of 75% of people feel stuck in their old ways, in their jobs, or in their personal lives. From wanting change to managing change to resisting change, the language and narratives we use both internally and externally shape how we adapt to the forward momentum of life, whether we are ready or not!

It is impossible to change when you are committed to using the language that keeps you and your team stuck. The Art of Changing Course will help you give yourself the intrinsic permission and step-by-step framework to become the best version of yourself in both your personal and professional life, and to help others do the same.

Aus dem Klappentext

It's easy to get caught up in the self-help spiral, buying book after book that just sit on your shelf collecting dust while also making you feel like you're doing something. What's infinitely harder is realizing the true root of the problem often lurks in your subconscious, only masquerading as a more superficial problem--and by only addressing the superficial part, the root always grows back.

In The Art of Changing Course, amputee, diabetic record-holding powerlifter, and renowned motivational speaker and author Chris Ruden explains his proven and elegant "Make Your Problem Public" process to discover the real root cause of anything you struggle with. Most people and leaders alike have one core problem that, if solved, will fix 99% of what's going wrong in their life. This book helps to solve that problem.

Backed by numerous psychological principles, management techniques, and organizational change theories, The Art of Changing Course focuses on helping readers make three distinct shifts: from subconscious to conscious, conscious to communicated, and finally, communicated to broadcasted. Ruden's clear-cut ideas walk readers through these three stages, allowing you to rise beyond simple awareness of the desire to change--the stage most people get stuck at--and become the person you truly want to be.

Ruden draws from his own struggles and victories in overcoming both societal and internal barriers as a person with a disability and a professional keynote speaker. Once a shy child who kept his limb-different arm hidden in fear of scaring off others and being alone, he now speaks to thousands of people all over the world, proudly pulling off his prosthetic and triumphantly raising his arm into the air for all to see.

The Art of Changing Course is perfect for anyone looking to find the true root cause of their dissatisfaction with life--and transform themselves on a foundational level, once and for all.
