The Health Habit by Amantha Imber was a finalist in the Australian Business Book Awards 2024 for Health and Wellbeing. This easy-to-use, practical guide is inspired by the latest scientific research to help you eat healthier, boost your energy, and sleep better.

Are you trapped in a cycle of unhealthy habits? You are not alone β€” we all have unique barriers that hinder us from making lasting changes to our health.

In The Health Habit, psychologist Dr Amantha Imber moves away from the one-size-fits-all approach and brings together:

  • The specific psychological barriers preventing you from achieving better health.
  • Cutting-edge research into diet, fitness, and sleep, conducted by professors at institutions like Harvard and Oxford, and health experts such as Dr Norman Swan, Dr Layne Norton, and Jessie Inchauspe.
  • The latest behavioural science on how to make lasting changes.
  • An easy method to create your personalised, actionable plan to change your habits.

Amantha also shares her journey of overcoming health challenges. She conquered a sugar addiction, adopted a more structured exercise and diet regimen, and resolved her chronic insomnia. Amantha managed to kick her sugar cravings, can now leg press three times her body weight, and enjoys eight hours of sleep almost every night. She did this not through greater willpower but by using her expertise in behavioural psychology to develop healthier habits.

Packed with bite-sized advice, The Health Habit is designed for anyone stuck in a cycle of repeating the same unhealthy habits and who seeks practical solutions to transform their health for the better.
