ARE YOU READY TO CLEAN OUT THE BAD HABITS IN YOUR LIFE AND MOVE FORWARD?
Then become a Habit Maker.
Habit Maker explores why our good habits are often the first to disappear when life gets stressful — and how to build habits that actually last, even in the middle of busy, imperfect, real life.
This book offers a fresh, evidence-based approach to habits — not for an ideal version of yourself, but for everyday life as it really is.

Why we quit good habits, and how to change that?
Why do we abandon habits that are good for us?
Why do bad habits take their place so easily?
Habit Maker answers these questions by combining:
- behavioural science
- positive psychology
- coaching techniques
Rather than focusing on motivation or discipline, the book shows how habits are shaped by context, emotions, self-talk and daily decisions — and how small shifts can lead to lasting change.
More than productivity or self-control
This book is not only about being more productive.
It helps you:
- increase self-awareness around your habits
- improve wellbeing, energy and balance
- build sustainable routines that support everyday life
- strengthen self-leadership at work and in your career
Drawing on research with more than 500 participants worldwide, Habit Maker explores the how & why of habits. The book also sheds light on what top leaders do when it comes to habits, performance and well-being.
A practical, reflective experience
Habit Maker is designed to be used, not rushed through.
Inside the book, you’ll find:
- reflective questions
- writing spaces
- guided exercises
- visual frameworks and hand-drawn illustrations
You are invited to pause, write, think and experiment,
building habits that fit your lifestyle, values and current season of life.
Habits that adapt to real life
Life is rarely stable. Energy fluctuates. Stress happens. Motivation fades.
Habit Maker helps you build habits that:
- adjust to busy or difficult periods
- evolve with changing priorities
- don’t rely on constant motivation
- support wellbeing as much as performance
Keeping a habit doesn’t always mean doing more — sometimes it means staying in the relationship with it.
WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR?
Habit Maker is for you if you:
- feel frustrated by habits that never stick
- are tired of rigid routines and quick fixes
- want a realistic, flexible approach to change
- care about wellbeing, leadership and long-term balance
Whether your goal is better health, stronger routines, or sustainable performance at work, this book offers a grounded place to start.
