Habits Make You What You Are
Habits is a book about my personal journey to discover a way to build new good habits, jettison old bad habits, and not go crazy in the process. You'll learn original strategies - not the same old tired ideas you can find in every other book about habits.
If you've read any of them, you know that they say that all you have to do is to do the new thing 21 or 28 days in a row. They teach you a one-size-fits-all approach based on repetition and watching the calendar. Well, I was always disappointed when on the 22nd and even the 29th day, it still hadn't become an automatic habit.
Is this happening to you too?
Habitual Thoughts
It turns out that the time it takes to create a habit is different for different people (go figure!). It also depends on how complex the habit is, as well as some simple tricks that you can use to turn anything (thought or action) into a habit.
In my quest to break bad habits and form new good habits, I learned a lot about myself and why I found habits to be such a challenge. I share all of these insights inside!
The biggest light bulb moment for me was that thoughts can also qualify as good or bad habits. It occurred to me that some of the self-doubting thoughts that I experienced were actually the same as other bad habits. I applied what I had learned about habits in general, and it turns out that I could make and break thought habits as well! This has really helped to change many of my personally limiting patterns of behavior. I'll share those tips with you inside.
I also made a lot of mistakes while I was creating and maintaining these new habits. I hope that what I share in this book will help you avoid and fix those same mistakes. Beyond that, I also share what I did to solve the problems that I had created for myself.
If you've read about habit formation but haven't been able to create the new habits that you want and are feeling frustrated, you're exactly who I wrote this book for!
Mini Habits Are Small But Powerful
Another important area I get into is what I call mini habits (and all the things I did wrong when I tried to create new ones). You'll also learn about stacking habits (along with tips and tricks for building more effective habits), as well as which habits can help you in different aspects of your life, like:
- Relationships
- Finances
- Organization
- Productivity
- Fitness
- Self-Care
- Mental Sharpness
Instead of just summarizing what others have said about habits, I kept track of all the issues I faced as I tried to create, break, and replace my own habits. Hopefully, I can save you some of the frustration that I went through and help you build your own habits even quicker and less painfully than I did!
You'll get over 30 specific habit suggestions throughout the book. I've also included a bonus chapter with 25 additional examples of mini habits you can quickly work on to change your life right now!

About the Author: Seth Cohen has always been passionate about helping others. He spent almost ten years goal coaching employees as a manager in a large corporation. Once the passion for the retail business subsided he decided it was time to pursue coaching full time. So like any coach would do he got his Life Coaching certification. Being so in tune with his own personal development he quickly realized that working with one client at a time wasn't scratching the itch he had to help people. So he set out to discover a way to help thousands not hundreds. That is when he decided to become a full-time author in the self-help and personal development niche. His very first goal was to find a way to deliver life changing information much quicker than the hundreds of self-help books he had read. You see the problem is books need to be the right number of pages to stand out among all the other books at your local bookstore. That means they need to be thick. Being an avid highlighter of books Seth started to realize he was getting 40 pages of content out of a 200-page book. While he understands the need to make books fill traditional bookshelves, he would never dream of wasting 40 minutes of a client's hour of coaching with small talk and filler. That means if a book can deliver everything it needs to in 50 pages then that is what the book will be. Only as long as it takes to ensure you receive the knowledge needed to change the quality of your life. The goal is to have you read his books quick and take action even quicker. Action is what will change your life. That is who these books are for: Action takers because knowledge is not power without action.
