Publisher's summary

Your power to change one moment can create life-changing momentum.

In The Magic of Momentum, international best-selling author Stephen Guise reveals how momentum works differently in our behavior and lives than it does in other areas. For example, in physics, momentum is a predictable and simple equation (p = mv). Sports momentum is defined by team scoring streaks or players making game-changing plays.

Behavioral momentum, however, is far more powerful than other forms of momentum. It’s not the “string of successes” we often perceive it to be. Behavioral momentum is layered and exponential because every action you take changes how your brain interprets that behavior.

Momentum is the hidden difference between success and failure. It is always active. Though unheralded, momentum affects every single moment of our lives. The smallest action can bring someone out of a seemingly insurmountable struggle if it triggers a reversal in momentum.

Listen to The Magic of Momentum today, and discover your true potential with life’s most powerful force.

Revealed how important and valuable momentum is!

I really enjoyed the first few chapters providing the philosophy and psychology of momentum and how it influences action. The latter chapters, i.e. about addictions, were less interesting to me.

The voice-over talent's reading wasn't well matched with the gravity of the book. His sing-song, grandfatherly style of reading is better suited for children's books or something more light-hearted. No slam on the reader's skills, just a mismatch for this particular book IMO.

This book changed my life

I just listened to this book for the 2nd time, and it's as good as I remembered.
I read a lot of self-help titles, but this is the only book in my experience that breaks down the importance, the power, of momentum.
Almost every day, I make use of the principles I learned from this book. They shape my behavior, because I know that the step I take in any given moment has an impact on the step I will take *after* this one. Such a powerful lesson this has been for me!
I recommend this book 100% if you are interested in living your life intentionally.

Great Book

Highly recommend this book. It will help push you forward in a positive direction for your life.

Stephen has done it again.

Clearly Stephen hasn’t come close to losing his unique touch. This man has a gift.

I feel lucky to encounter his work.

Great follow up to Mini Habits!

if you enjoyed mini habits, this is a great follow up book to keep your habit moving forward with the power of momentum. It's to the point with strategies and why momentum is key to building long term mini habits.

Get going!!

Books come in all shapes and sizes, but this is a book that is not like the others, it’s special!
I learnt to keep things simple in life, this book explains in simple what you need to get going in life. This book is for anyone and everyone, specially if you are the type who starts something and cannot finish it, this book will guide you. If you find it difficult to stay motivated, this book will help you.
I will be buying copies of this book as gifts this holidays. It has helped me, it will help other.
Cheers!

Loved the book

As always, Stephen gets right to the point. I actually realize that I have had momentum the last three years, thank God. I have definitely had a few challenges this year. Without momentum, I would have been in deep problems. I will share more on New Years' on Facebook. But I will say that looking forward to sharing my year has been one of the rewards I have been looking forward to writing. Thank you, Stephen.

Struggled with start but got way better

A lot of actionable tips here regarding positive momentum and a definite re read to write notes from.

A great book, whether or not you have read Guise’s previous work

This fleshes out a counterintuitive strategy. It gives some new tactics and lots of food for thought. It’s a proven and brilliant method for building daily momentum. Those daily wins will eventually build sturdy habits. This system is so flexible, it can be easily underestimated. It doesn’t stop you from going full boar, but it does allow for unexpected obstacles. Float like a butterfly. Sting like a bee! Good job Mr. Guise!

An absolute bold mine!

This is the first book I have finished in years. It showed me the self-defeating mindset I have lived with my whole life. Looking over the past years with so many failed attempts at numerous different activities. I have an all-or-nothing mindset. This book just nailed it for me to now begin to build success in many different areas. Very practical, very well written and kept my attention all the way through. Absolutely brilliant in insight, content and practicality.
