Carol Dweck
“Redirect is a great book! In his uniquely engaging way, Wilson shows how simple techniques can deliver large and lasting personal changes--and convinces us that only good research can give us these techniques.”--(Carol Dweck, PhD, author of Mindset)
Lyubomirsky
“Is it possible to reinvent ourselves, transform our children, and improve our communities? Professor Timothy Wilson proposes an idea that many readers will find revolutionary – namely, that the most effective methods are often deceptively simple. What matters most is not pressuring the people that we want to change, but subtly helping them to shift the stories that they tell about themselves. Whether you are a parent, educator, employer, or simply someone who cares about making the world a better place, you should read this book.”--(Sonja Lyubomirsky, Ph.D., professor of psychology at the University of California, Riverside, and author of The How of Happiness: A Scientific Approach to Getting the Life You Want )
Daniel Gilbert

—Daniel Gilbert, professor of psychology, Harvard University, author of Stumbling on Happiness
Malcolm Gladwell

Walton
“One of the foremost psychologists of our time, Timothy Wilson shows us that solving endemic social problems and making ourselves happier, healthier, and more successful is within our grasp. Redirect reveals the hidden meanings we assume in our everyday lives, how these meanings shape our behavior, and how we can change our assumptions and the world. Extraordinary.”--(Greg Walton, PhD, Department of Psychology, Stanford University)
David G. Myers
“Renowned social psychologist Timothy Wilson writes for those of us who want to make a real difference in our worlds (and not just to fool ourselves into thinking we’re doing so). With wit and wisdom, he shows us how to spare ourselves worthless (or worse) interventions, think smarter, and live well.”--(David G. Myers, Hope College, author of The Pursuit of Happiness)
Daniel M. Wegner
“Wouldn’t it be amazing if a very smart scientist could write a book on happiness, crime, violence, drug and alcohol abuse, parenting, and teenage pregnancy—and sum up all the research in clear and surprising lessons on how we should live our lives? Well, Timothy Wilson is the scientist and Redirect is the book, and it is in fact amazing.”--(Daniel M. Wegner, Harvard University, author of The Illusion of Conscious Will)
Taylor
“So often we think of therapy as a long, painful, time-consuming, and expensive process. In this surprising and entertaining book, Wilson shows how changing the stories we tell ourselves about the events of our lives, often in simple ways, can have profound effects on the course of our lives. If I could recommend only one book this year to my children, it would be this one.”--( Shelley E. Taylor, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, University of California, Los Angeles, and author of Positive Illusions and The Tending Instinct)
Malcolm Gladwell
“There are few academics who write with as much grace and wisdom as Timothy Wilson. Redirect is a masterpiece.”
