I picked up Stuck: Why We Can't (or Won't) Move On by Anneli Rufus on a whim, but can’t finish it as it is truly awful in every way. Now I’d like to read a book on the same subject that doesn’t suck, actually addresses the subject, and doesn’t resemble the comments section of an internet article. There must be a million books about getting stuck in ruts, changing habits and such, any recommendations?

Better Than Before by Gretchen Rubin (I am currently reading this and loving it)

Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard by Chip Heath and Dan Heath (I read this a long time ago and I remember liking it.)

Immunity to Change by Lisa Lahey and Roger Kegan. It's got a slightly corporate feel - it focuses on organisational change as well as individual change - but it's got some solid research behind it and I found it effective and interesting.
