Description
'A powerful way to break even the most stubborn bad habit so you can live the life you deserve' - Steven Bartlett, The Diary of a CEO
Map your habits, set your own goals and treat yourself with the kindness you truly deserve.
Shahroo Izadi has a revolutionary message: treating yourself kindly is the only way to make changes that last. She is living proof that her method works - after years of yo-yo dieting she shed over eight stone (and has kept it off ever since). Professional training coupled with personal experience led her to develop The Kindness Method, a totally non-judgemental approach which turns strict regimes upside down to leave you feeling empowered, positive and ready to embrace change.
In The Kindness Method, Behavioural Change Specialist Shahroo invites you first, to give yourself a break - life can be stressful - and then learn how to strengthen your willpower like a muscle so you can sustain motivation for the long haul. These techniques may seem gentle, but the results are life-changing because the plan is tailored to you, and they can work for everything from alcohol addiction to procrastination to weight loss. By using the same techniques that she has used to help substance addicts recover from dependence, you too will find that you have the power to change - for good.

'A powerful way to break even the most stubborn bad habit so you can live the life you deserve.' Steven Bartlett, The Diary of a CEO The moment I met her I immediately knew she was the real deal. She just gets it. She's a sobering, safe and sassy presence in a world of extremes. -- <b>Bryony Gordon, #1 bestselling author of <i>Mad Girl</i></b> Shahroo's dynamic and compassionate approach to an entrenched and sometimes scary drinking culture is refreshing, non-judgmental and feels like a very contemporary approach to talking about alcohol. -- <b>Gemma Cairney, BBC Radio 1 presenter and author of <i>Open: A Toolkit for How Magic and Messed Up Life Can Be</i></b> Aside from my own experience of Shahroo's superb work, the greatest testament is that our clients keep requesting more and more of her invaluable experience, insights and strategies to successfully manage their emotional wellbeing. -- <b>Dominic Ruffy, Amy Winehouse Foundation</b> That's what Shahroo does. Gets me to ask fundamental questions with a kindness and compassion I normally reserve for others. -- <b>Marisa Bate, The<i> Pool</i></b> This book is wonderful. Kindness is king. Kindness is key. -- <b>Eoin Colfer, bestselling author of the <i>Artemis Fowl </i>series</b> A game-changing book about habits and beliefs that focuses on boosting our self-esteem and resilience, rather than demonising ourselves or our behaviours. And we can use it to change any unwanted behaviour, from struggling with prescription drugs to procrastinating to drinking too much prosecco. -- <b><i>Evening Standard</i></b>More details

Shahroo Izadi is a Behavioural Change Specialist. She was featured in the Pool in a personal series of articles with journalist Marisa Bate, who went to Shahroo for help in looking at her alcohol use. Almost overnight, Shahroo's private practice had a months long waiting list and she was inundated with press requests. Just after this, Shahroo's 'Changing Habits' course at the School of Life was advertised and it sold out for the rest of the year. Shahroo spoke on a panel at the Women of the World Festival at the Southbank Centre and has worked with BBC Radio 1, Red magazine, the Telegraph, Psychologies and featured on The Diary of a CEO podcast.
Shahroo is a support group facilitator and therapist at Amy's Place, a recovery house for women set up by The Amy Winehouse Foundation and a Senior Consultant for Emerging Horizons delivering professional development training and advisory services for leading health and social care organisations including the NHS and CGL. She has also worked alongside MIND and the Migrant Resource Centre. The Kindness Method is her positive guide to changing habits.
