About this audiobook
Habits are at the very core of our lives. The habits we make — and don’t make — for ourselves can dramatically affect the trajectory of our lives. You might have an idea of which habits are “good” and which habits are “bad.” But identifying the quality of habits is light work compared to making new habits, and breaking the bad ones can be even tougher.
Author Michał Stawicki is here to help. In Breaking Bad Habits and Improving Your Life, Stawicki gives a valuable lesson in one of the toughest activities there is: breaking bad habits that are holding you back from your ideal life. In Breaking Bad Habits, Stawicki breaks down the science of habits, provides tangible steps for ridding yourself of bad habits, and explains how you can replace those no-good habits with healthier ones. He also shares exercises along the way to help you put what you’ve learned into practice immediately.
Are you ready to enhance your life? The first step could lie in changing your habits. Breaking Bad Habits and Improving Your Life is essential reading for fans of personal development.
