About this listen

Read by the author, Shahroo Izadi

'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.

Critic reviews

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. (Bryony Gordon, #1 bestselling author of Mad Girl)
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. (Gemma Cairney, BBC Radio 1 presenter and author of Open: A Toolkit for How Magic and Messed Up Life Can Be)
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. (Dominic Ruffy, Amy Winehouse Foundation)
That's what Shahroo does. Gets me to ask fundamental questions with a kindness and compassion I normally reserve for others. (Marisa Bate, The Pool)
This book is wonderful. Kindness is king. Kindness is key. (Eoin Colfer, bestselling author of the Artemis Fowl series)
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. (Evening Standard)
Britain's answer to Brené Brown (Women's Health UK)

I was asked by a friend to help him change his life. he saw the changes I'd made and wanted to embark on a similar journey.

My own change was the result of a lot of research, learning, trial, error and failure. I had made massive improvements to my life and I'm extremely aware of the good work I've done. BUT I'm not at all qualified to help my friend so rather than try to reinvent the wheel or replicate what had worked for me I looked for existing change plans for inspiration and guidance.

This book will work.

Every tool is rooted in solid science.

you can change your life.

I am so glad I came across this book. Its full of useful and practical advise about changing habits and self improvement. It suggests workable techniques which anyone can do and examples which we can all relate to one way or another.

Fantastic book

I suspect that this book by behavioural change specialist Shahroo Izadi has much in common with other self help books. What makes it different from the others, however, is that the author has been there herself having struggled with weight management and can relate her own challenges with the advice she gives to others in this guide. It is a relatively short book, and around the first third is devoted to informing the reader/ listener why this works and how it can be applied to help a person change their behaviour. By the time it gets to the section that actually outlines what the Kindness Method actually entails the reader / listener has been suitably conditioned into complying with the instructions. I suspect many people will want to cut to the chase and go straight to the guts of what this book is about. This book works best with the support of a qualified counselor and whilst the methodology is possibly nothing groundbreaking in terms of its content (self assessment, maps and targets) it would form a useful framework for anyone suck in a cycle of negative behaviour who wants to break out and change. Where this book does differ is that it is not as judgmental as other methods and acknowledges that we should set attainable goals and be kind to ourselves.

Be kind to yourself
