The scientifically proven method to overcome obstacles and make choices that lead us closer to our goals

WITH A FOREWORD BY MARTINA NAVRATILOVA

When we choose to go to the gym at 6 a.m., keep running that marathon or stay up late to study, we are making conscious, value-based decisions that help us fulfil our goals. But even though we know that daily good choices add up to healthy habits and strong results, these days it's just too easy to surrender to negative thoughts and old habits. How can we not?

Enter Functional Imagery Training (FIT). Grounded in science, FIT helps us lengthen our Choice Point: that moment when we say to ourselves, 'Am I going to make the healthy decision, or am I going to choose to take an action that I know will undermine my success?' Merging mindfulness, motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioural therapy into a user-friendly model, The Choice Point grants us control of the decisions that define us.

"Science is explained with a humour and clarity that makes understanding the concept not only accessible, but enjoyable and thought-provoking ... While it was certainly exciting to experience the shifts in my own behaviours through practising FIT, it was more exciting to begin to imagine how I can apply the method to support the people I work with in achieving their goals" - The Psychologist
