Narrated by: Emily Woo Zeller

Award-winning clinical psychologist and TV personality Dr. Judy Ho helps you stop the cycle of self-sabotage, clear a path to lasting happiness, and start living your best life in this a must-have guide perfect for fans of You Are a Badass, Unf*ck Yourself, and How to Stop Feeling Like Sh*t.

Have you ever had a deadline for a big work project, only to find yourself down to the wire because you spent too much time on social media? Or gotten excited about meeting someone new, only to convince yourself he isn’t really interested? How many Januarys have you resolved that this is the year you’re finally going to lose the weight, only to abandon your diet in just a few weeks? If these scenarios sound familiar, you are stuck in a cycle of self-sabotage.

At one point or another, we’ve all done something that undermines our best interests and intentions. Even the most successful people get in their own way—often without realizing it. In Stop Self-Sabotage, licensed clinical psychologist, tenured professor, and television personality Dr. Judy Ho takes a fresh look at self-sabotage to help us answer two vital questions: Why do we do it? How do we stop?

Combining therapeutically proven strategies with practical tools and self-assessments, Dr. Judy teaches you how to identify your triggers, modify your thoughts and behaviors, find your true motivation, and unlock your willpower to stop this vicious cycle in its tracks. Practical and transformative, Stop Self-Sabotage is your ultimate guide to jumpstart lasting, positive change and start living the life you want.

Loved it.

I enjoyed what I heard. It was like having a person who loves you,reach out to you to save you from yourself.

Helping so much with my anxiety

Never knew my anxiety was triggering behaviors that ruined my goals. I thought I was a victim of anxiety, but this gives me power to overcome my behaviors now that I understand them.

Good content

Great insights in the book. Narration was really distracting. She sounds like an uptight Highschool teacher meets the Stephen Hawkins voice. Hard to focus on the book.

Great info but...

Lots of homework and Journaling that is hard to do with an audio book. You'll definitely need the companion guide and a journal. I'll listen again and do the work because I think it's practical.

Very well done and easy to follow

I love that I decided to go with the audiobook for this one because it helped me to receive the information so much better. Besides the fact it was easier to do the exercises, I loved I could go back and listen to certain parts again. I didn't realize how much I talk down to myself or fail at fulfilling goals because I avoid certain deadlines or situations. It really makes you stop and look into yourself, no joke and find out what is the root to the issues at hand. Dr. Judy lays it out there for you with facts, understanding, and warmth. She makes you feel as if you're learning from a friend rather than hard facts in a self-help book. I personally loved the in-depth self-reflection (I had been avoiding this), the steps she provides to help me to move past some things like my love of procrastination. Its a well done, well-read, a fabulous audiobook that I look forward to listening to it over and over to help me work through my own self-sabotage. Loved it!
