The Science of Stuck: Breaking Through Inertia to Find Your Path Forward by Britt Frank
5.0
This book was one of the best self help books I've ever read (and I've read a lot). The title doesn't really do it justice. I don't feel stuck in the traditional sense of the word, but so much of this book felt relevant to me anyway. Frank distills a lot of research, clinical experience, and personal experience into digestible, concrete, actionable tools for living.
I found the philosophy of change outlined by Frank to be much more compatible with my values and personality than that of the 12 steps and other psychological modalities I've tried. I learnt about the book through an interview on the podcast "you are not so smart." If you are on the fence about the book, I suggest you listen to the interview to get a sense of what you are in for.
Finally, I really appreciated her disclaimers acknowledging that this book is not for everyone.
