Patient: "Doctor, it hurts when I do that."
Doctor: "Then stop doing that."

Too often, like the patient in the old joke, we do things that hurt us. We keep playing games the same way, even though we lose.

Whether it’s compulsive eating, an addiction to caffeine, worrying over the little things, or being stuck in an unhappy relationship or dead-end job, we know we should change our losing habits. But we don’t know where, or how, to begin.

Always Change a Losing Game can help you improve your life by showing you how to make positive, personal changes. Dr. David Posen has counselled people from all walks of life on the best way to develop winning strategies. In easy-to-understand language, he offers effective advice on improving self-esteem, personal relationships, work performance, and mental and physical health. Richly illustrated with anecdotes drawn from his own life and professional practice, Dr. Posen shows how anyone can live a more satisfying life--starting immediately.

We live in a time of unprecedented change. The workplace has been transformed by mergers, downsizing and globalization. Economics, politics, education and even family life are undergoing upheaval. The result is stress, worry and uncertainty for most of us. Where’s it all going to lead? How do we look after ourselves while all this turmoil swirls around us?

Dr. David Posen provides sensible and sensitive answers to the following questions:

• What will increase our comfort with change?
• What will make it easier for us?
• What tools will we need to handle it?

With compassion, understanding and humor, Dr. Posen explains the ingredients of “change-hardiness", illustrating his message with stories from his own experience as well as from that of his patients and friends.

Part psychology, part philosophy, part action plan, the book will make you think, it will make you laugh, and it will definitely increase your comfort with change.
