Publisher's Synopsis
Tired of setting goals and not achieving them?
Whether your goal is to run a multimillion-dollar business or get in shape, your habits can make or break your success. No matter how talented you are, unless you leverage the power of habit to work for you, you're unlikely to build the momentum you need.
Everyone knows what it's like to go to bed feeling mad at yourself for failing to follow through on what you intended to do that day. What if you could accomplish everything you wanted without thinking? That's what habits can do for you.
If you're looking to (1) create good habits, (2) remove bad habits (3) transform your life, (4) achieve whatever you have in mind, (5) control your subconscious mind, (6) learn scientific ways to build habits that stick (7) understanding the psychology of habits - the answers are right in front of you.
Whether you're trying to start a new one or break a not-so-good one, forming healthy habits can seem easy, but sticking with them is where the challenge lies. But it doesn't have to be this way.
Many people go wrong when trying to change their behavior by looking at habit formation as a challenge or competition. People set ambitious goals, grand resolutions, and strict new schedules. They try to change their entire life nearly overnight, and then blame themselves when they fail.
But transformation isn't just about willpower. There's a great deal of neuroscience that goes into habit building. The key to successfully forming new habits is to use your brain's inner processes against it. The same functions that caused you to form a bad habit can be learned and used to transform that destructive habit into an affirming one.
What you have in your hands is a blueprint for how to use your psychology and neurology to successfully form new habits and stick with them.
This book will help you to:
- get to the bottom of what exactly is a habit, and how they are formed in your brain.
- learn why willpower and motivation actually have very little to do with the process, and why goal-setting has a lot to do with it.
- find out how to create an effective action plan and what to do when things get tough to keep yourself motivated.
Whether you're trying to save more money, hit the gym regularly, or be more productive at work, this book is filled with tips, strategies, and insights that will help you rebuild your life, one habit at a time.
