        Starred review from April 15, 2015

        Immediate, emotional rewards are more driving and attainable than far-reaching, generalized goals. That's what behavioral sustainability scientist and PhD Segar argues in her motivational behavior-change and whole-body wellness guide. With an emphasis on physical movement, the author illustrates how abstract goals such as "weight loss" and "being healthier" are less encouraging than immediate compensation. Integrating activities into your daily schedule that yield instant and noticeable outcomes are more easily accomplished, such as taking a 30-minute walk in order to clear your mind. Four distinct sections: "Meaning"; "Awareness"; "Permission"; and "Strategy" offer a guilt-free guide to readers looking for sustainable ways to feel better. A variety of evaluation tools and reflection activities are included, as well as specific examples of movement exercises. VERDICT Not merely a weight-loss guide but rather a motivational manual to self-care and sustainable change, this title is recommended for persons wishing to set goals, change behavior, and/or improve their lifestyle.--Carolann Curry, Mercer Univ.
