1/ My book “Breaking Bad Habits in 150 pages” starts with one basic premise; if you focus primarily on breaking the bad habit, you’re probably going to fail. At the same time, it’s a meaningless goal in the first place. On my tombstone, it won’t say “Nick successfully stopped ...

2/ ... eating junk foods.” Rather, it will commemorate the relationships I’ve built and the accomplishments that I’ve made. In this book, I focus on that instead.

3/ My book places you at the forefront of your own life’s story, and deems you the hero. It helps you realize that every story has a monster, the stereotypical villain like Godzilla or the evil dragon- the beast that must be slain to finally achieve your goal.

4/ Yet, I show you how the beast you’re fighting in your story is not the habit or substance, but it’s the inner beast that lies within you, and I will show you how to defeat it.

5/ It forces you to confront the realities of your habit and why you formed it in the first place. Just as Simba needed to confront Scar in his own story to regain control of his kingdom, you must confront your own monster to take back control of your actions and your life.

6/ I will give you the simple framework for how to do exactly that. I help you create your own personal story, and show you how to carry it out properly. I look at habit from a much more holistically human lens, rather than focusing on which psychological hack you plan on using.

7/ I'll end this thread with a quote from my book, “In the story of our lives, our struggles with our habits will undoubtedly be a chapter. My goal is to make it a short one, so you can move on to the more meaningful parts of your life—your responsibilities as a hero."
