Hey, how's it going. So life is going pretty well for me, where it wasn't a few years ago. I actually scored a TEN on the Sanity Score, and most of those points were due to the fact that I'm a smoker. A couple years ago I would have scored so ridiculously high, I probably would have broken your guys' server. Anyway, point is: if you're having a problem, hang in there. The answers are out there. The book that REALLY helped me do a 180 was this book called "The Mood Cure" by an author named Julia Ross. If you're interested, you can type it into Google and find it number of places. Listen, if you have ANY type of emotional problems, check that book. It has a solution for basically everything in there.

Anyway, life is good. My emotional world is great. But there are still a FEW issues I want to take care of, and they were all behavioral things. For example I want to start eating more vegetables, I want to grow my business, I want to start walking up to more girls that I find attractive, and a few other things. Some people are just gonna say "oh just do it!," but those of us who are familiar with psychology know that there tends to be stuff that holds us back fro the way we sometimes want to act.

Anyway, what are the evidence based methodologies for behavior change. I'm really looking for something that's been empirically tested and proven though. There's so much stuff out there that only works for some people that I'm really only interested in approaches that are evidence based and empirical. I've had luck with ACT, but I wasn't able to find any books that specifically pertained to behavior change. I found some that helped me with some unhelpful thought processes, but there I don't feel like I am where I want to be behaviorally.

Anyway, thanks for the help.
