There is a very old fashioned but great article by Psychologist Dr Harry Tiebout...title "Compliance and Surrender", or something similar.
Surrender is giving in to your current difficulties and becoming willing to change because you really want to. Compliance is temporarily changing your behaviour because you feel you should. Surrender is the path to real change and has the potential to be long term. Compliance is usually temporary and driven by external pressures.
Very interesting read
