The End of Try Try Again starts with understanding how we form habits and why they can be so difficult to break. This book explains how our brains and bodies work so that we can work with them, not against them.
The End of Try Try Again shows you why some of our attitudes and beliefs don’t serve us, and gives us access to a whole new way of thinking about diet and exercise.
Trying to follow a prescribed diet or exercise program often leads to resistance and rebellion!
The OLD messages can lead to such thoughts as:
- “This diet will help me stay motivated because it will produce quick results.”
- “I guess last time I tried, I just wasn’t motivated enough.”
- “I have to exercise hard to get the pounds off.”
- “Once I get started, I will figure out how far I want to go with this.”
Unfortunately, we can get caught in a loop that doesn’t show us the way out.
Based on extensive research, the book explains why making big changes to how we eat and exercise is complicated. Using the science of motivation, it lays out how to find deep motivation based on personal values, not passing fads. It then presents a clear, inspirational formula that is simple but can lead to life-changing results.

Carter genuinely surprised me. This isn’t a diet; it is a lifestyle adjustment that happens in a way that feels organic and more like a natural progression toward overcoming the struggle instead of band-aiding it. I can see this book applying to many facets of life beyond nutrition and exercise and believe other readers will feel the same. Asher Syed for Readers’ Favorite

Achievable goals. Kristen’s book is a roadmap to better health through small attainable goals. I especially like her suggestions for exercise as I have limited mobility, but despite these limitations, she has outlined ways I can make a significant improvement in my overall health. Developing new habits means we have to know ourselves better; her questions help guide the reader to a better understanding of what holds them back and what will motivate lasting,change. Very practical and helpful. Katherine Kendall, MLS
