Badass Habits is a eureka-sparking, easy-to-digest look at how our habits make us who we are, from the measly moments that happen in private to the resolutions we loudly broadcast (and, erm, often don't keep) on social media. Habit busting and building goes way beyond becoming a dedicated flosser or never showing up late again - our habits reveal our unmet desires, the gaps in our boundaries, our level of self-awareness, and our unconscious beliefs and fears.

Think of The War of Art as tough love...for yourself. Since 2002, The War of Art has inspired people around the world to defeat "resistance"; to recognize and knock down dream-blocking barriers and to silence the naysayers within us. Resistance kicks everyone's butt, and the desire to defeat it is equally as universal. The War of Art identifies the enemy that every one of us must face, outlines a battle plan to conquer this internal foe, then pinpoints just how to achieve the greatest success.

Publisher's Summary
I tried so hard to find balance between my creative career and my personal life, but the more I tried to separate them, the more balance eluded me. It was only when I began to fuse the two that I realised there is no such thing as having a creative career and a personal life - there is only a creative life. That realisation and the freedom it gave me remains one of the most significant of my life.
Samantha Wills started her self-titled jewellery company on the kitchen table of her share house in the eastern suburbs of Sydney when she was just 21 years old. While her rise to the global stage looked meteoric to many, Samantha has said 'It took me 12 years to become an overnight success.'
Following Samantha's journey, from being named a breakout star by The New York Times to barely being able to breathe on a hotel room floor, Of Gold and Dust is so much more than a business memoir. In her unique, confessional tone, Samantha tells the intimate details of her life and business, sharing her truths with a rare rawness and vulnerability.
Funny, down-to-earth, revealing and heartfelt, Of Gold and Dust is a must-listen for anyone who has a desire to start their own business or a passion to live a creative life and follow their dreams. Her story is an inspiring blueprint for getting out there and finding the magic that awaits you.
Critic Reviews
"Breakout star." (The New York Times)
"A tycoon of her times." (The Sydney Morning Herald)

Of Gold and Dust is truly the loveliest, deeply heartfelt, and inspiring book I’ve ever listened to. Samantha’s narrative voice is as beautifully articulate as her written words.
A wealth of enduring personal and entrepreneurial strength, wisdom, passion, experience, and ultimate creativity encompassed and captivated my heart from beginning to end.

Divine. So damn divine.
I want so badly to write a full review, but find myself speechless. As a jewelry designer who’s been selling and making jewelry for a decade now, but haven’t felt my heart in it the last few years, who shares so many similarities to Samantha Wills, I felt like this book was written for me. And though I have no strong answers as to what’s next, I’m just glad Samantha shared all that she did. I’ve got the keys I need to follow what’s next and what feels divine.

I really enjoyed listening to this memoir; it is so well written. Being from the UK, I had not heard of Samantha Wills before, but somehow came across her book as I am starting my own jewellery brand. I’m so glad I did as it was exactly the inspiration I needed to keep following my heart and keep creating. Her story resonates with me so much, and I’ve now signed up to her Masterclass- I can’t wait to see where that takes me!
