Publisher's summary

Learn How to Break Bad Habits and Build Powerful, Positive Routines

Do you: Often snack on junk food, watch too much TV, spend too much money, or binge eat? Wish you could stop smoking or drinking excessively? Have a small (but annoying) habit you'd like to break? We all have a specific bad habit we'd like to break. Odds are you've tried in the past, and maybe you were successful for a few days. Then something unexpected came up where you slipped for a day or two. One mistake snowballs into a series of setbacks. Eventually you give up on the idea of making a habit change simply because it's too difficult to do. The interesting thing? We've all experienced this pattern at some point in our lives. Fortunately there's a quick fix: Make a plan for breaking that habit, and follow it on a daily basis.

Right now: Pick a bad habit, make a plan, and start today! It doesn't matter if you've failed with your habit efforts in the past. It doesn't mean you're lazy or weak willed. It means you didn't have the right tools for making a lasting habit change. What you need is a strategy for identifying your worst habits and learning how to overcome them. That solution is an audiobook called: Bad Habits No More: 25 Steps to Break ANY Bad Habit. With this book, you will learn:

Informative

This was a very interesting and informative book. it gives tips that can be used by mostly everyone though I think some may not be so helpful I get the concept some things like cell phones can't be ignored emergencies do come up or important calls come in things beyond your control I guess it just depends on the situation. over all fast listen and fast read. well written.

Very Informative

Good book it has some good tips, nothing life changing but it will definitely help.

Actionable

It gives you steps to break the bad habits with good examples without talking about unnecessary stuff.

Concise and Practical

Highly recommended. This is unlike other 5hr long audible books. Short to the point. Easy to follow.

Great content, wee organized for application.

This book is not too long, yet chock full of 'cream of the crop' ideas that are organized in a way that make it easier for me to apply than with other books I have listened to. It's also very encouraging, and when I listen to some of it daily, it becomes a kind of coach, or reinforcement. I have found it very helpful and plan to continue to implement its many ideas gradually into my day.

Simple and informative

Most books I read about habits are either full of fluff or too information heavy. This book is simple and informative and holds my attention. If you like Mini Habits by Stephen Guise, you'll like this book because it's relatable and has straightforward concepts

Nice book, great advice

This is the kind of book that I want to listen to over and over again.

Practical and helpful

Habits and sticking to them! Yes. This book is practical at a real-life level. It’s not about impressing anyone. It’s about building your own solutions and routines that can achieve in chunks. It’s about helping you create a pathway to achieving small wins. I like the reminder to shift the focus from having tons of habit changes to having small routines one at a time. I like the approach that includes how to start, stay in the process, and overcome internal and external obstacles.

Highly Recommend this book
