The Choice Point

The scientifically proven method to overcome obstacles and make choices that lead us closer to our goals

WITH A FOREWORD BY MARTINA NAVRATILOVA

When we choose to go to the gym at 6 a.m., keep running that marathon or stay up late to study, we are making conscious, value-based decisions that help us fulfil our goals. But even though we know that daily good choices add up to healthy habits and strong results, these days it's just too easy to surrender to negative thoughts and old habits. How can we not?

Enter Functional Imagery Training (FIT). Grounded in science, FIT helps us lengthen our Choice Point: that moment when we say to ourselves, 'Am I going to make the healthy decision, or am I going to choose to take an action that I know will undermine my success?' Merging mindfulness, motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioural therapy into a user-friendly model, The Choice Point grants us control of the decisions that define us.

'The Choice Point is a must-read for anyone striving to improve their health, family life or work and reveals how to use our mind to commit to and accomplish our goals and live our values. It's long-lasting sustainable willpower in a book' Commander Susan Kilrain, US Navy test pilot, NASA astronaut and mother
'Imagery is a powerful method I use for achieving goals, overcoming adversity and realising potential. We should not be passive participants in our own lives; The Choice Point provides the essential tools we all need to help exercise positive choice for our own better outcomes' General Gwyn Jenkins, Vice Chief of Defence Staff & Commandant General, Royal Marines
'The Choice Point can help everyone overcome their limiting beliefs and climb their personal Everest. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to strengthen their most important muscle: their mind' Colin O'Brady, 10-time world record holding endurance athlete and New York Times bestselling author
'The Choice Point shows how you can use techniques from functional imagery training to get more of what you want from life. If you think imagery is not for you, think again - the exercises on how to boost your skills are inspiring' Jackie Andrade, professor of psychology, University of Plymouth, UK
'Whatever your age and stage, whatever your discipline, The Choice Point will help you reimagine your goals and realign what matters to you and your team. I wish I'd had this book earlier in my career' Vice Admiral Sir Richard Ibbotson, Royal Navy
'If you have been riddled by self-doubt, insecurity and negative thinking about your place in this world, The Choice Point will teach you how to get out of your own way' Fran Drescher, SAG-AFTRA president, actress, comedian, writer and activist
Science is explained with a humour and clarity that makes understanding the concept not only accessible, but enjoyable and thought-provoking ... While it was certainly exciting to experience the shifts in my own behaviours through practising FIT, it was more exciting to begin to imagine how I can apply the method to support the people I work with in achieving their goals The Psychologist

Jonathan Rhodes, PhD, is a chartered British psychologist who helped developed FIT. Joanna Grover, LCSW, is an experienced therapist and executive coach and the first person in the US to be certified in FIT. Together, they work where science meets imagination to achieve peak performance and their tools help us get to the root of our motivation. They've helped Olympians, C-suite executives and elite forces in the military to hack their autopilot system and break records in their respective fields.

The Choice Point merges mindfulness, cognitive behavioural therapy and the new practice of FIT (Functional Image Therapy) into a user-friendly model for blasting through negative thoughts, adjusting your behaviour to make better choices, and for making decisions that are always in support of achieving your goals.Being aware of the tiny decisions we make and keeping a laser-targeted focus on them so that they all contribute to your longer-term goals means greater control over the choices in your life and stops your day feeling like a spiral of events that you have no influence over. Taking just a little longer, and using techniques to focus in and visualise where you want to be can have a transformative effect on your life.With a foreword by Martina Navratilova.
