Unhinged Habits

What would it take for you to wake up excited about the monotony of the mundanity of your day-to-day tasks? To stop feeling guilty about the stuff you’re not doing, and instead be energized by what you’ve chosen to do?

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Break bad habits and build your rich life by mastering the art of strategic subtraction.

Unhinged Habits will revolutionise your relationship with work, money, and even adult friendship.

Read Unhinged Habits if:

  • Your calendar is packed, yet you feel like you're missing what matters.
  • You've bought things meant to bring happiness, but the satisfaction didn't last.
  • You suspect you're living someone else's definition of success rather than your own.

We’re all habitual by nature. We fall into patterns and get stuck. We form habits and never question them.

Some habits propel us forward. Others can work against us over time.

The key? Get the order right. Balance short-term desires with long-term planning. Set yourself up for a bright future without missing the magic in the present.

Unhinged Habits pushes back against slow and incremental progress in the pursuit of some faceless, better future. Lots of people are consistent, yet few get ahead. What’s missing are intermittent bouts of unhinged intensity.

This is a book about wanting a better life and going after it. Or be okay not having it. Both are fine. Just get out of the middle.

For over 13 years, Jonathan Goodman has challenged societal norms and built multi-million-pound businesses, all while exploring over 30 countries with his family. In Unhinged Habits, Goodman shares the essential insights that freed him from conventional expectations. You will learn:

  • The 8:4 Rule. The counterintuitive seasonal approach that embraces unbalance to level up your relationships with people, money, and health.
  • The Explorer's Compass. A framework to break routine and rediscover wonder in your everyday life.
  • The Three Proxies of True Friendship. How to categorise your friends so you spend more time with the true ones and feel less guilt for letting others go.

Buckle up, because this book is going to break you out of the routines you’ve accepted as normal, but no longer serve you, so that you can finally live your definition of success.
