1. Can you tell us a little about your book?
Whether we admit it or not, our habits determine the way we live. Our daily behaviour is determined by our habits. Morning routines, daily commutes, and leisure activities are all driven by habits. The cumulative effect of all your current habits will determine how your life will play out in a year or five. Our actions control every aspect of our existence. The sooner we realise that we are creatures of habit, the sooner we can begin to identify the exact habits that lead us in the desired direction.
