Penguin Life said: “Chatterjee’s advice has evolved from the practical lifestyle advice of his earlier books and Make lasting changes is his most thoughtful book to date. He argues that we all know how to make better choices for our own health, so the key to healthier habits is understanding why we do what we do.

“This book challenges us to look more closely at what drives our unhealthy habits and offers simple ways we can all break free from them. Combining ancient philosophy with a deep understanding of health, Dr. Chatterjee offers a personalized approach and simple techniques to reduce our dependence on the chaotic and uncertain outside world – and helps us become an expert on ourselves to finally achieve true, lasting health and happiness.”

Amy McWalters, senior editor representing Robertson’s parenting, said: “Rangan is such an inspiring author to work with. His commitment to finding new and innovative ways to improve his readers’ health knows no bounds and this book goes a step further than ever before. It’s a truly transformational book that will help every reader feel more in control of their life and health and I can’t wait for people to read it.” Chatterjee added: “I’m more excited about this book than any other I’ve published. As health and wellbeing advice becomes increasingly unclear and confusing, this book addresses what is often not discussed: why we can’t make the changes we know will improve our health and happiness. I believe we can all make those changes if we understand our why and this book will help you find your why.”
