What to expect
The internationally bestselling author of Goodbye, Things shares insights and practices to help us embrace habits and become the best versions of ourselves.
Fumio Sasaki changed his life when he became a minimalist. But before minimalism could really stick, he had to make it a habit. All of us live our lives based on the habits we’ve formed, from when we get up in the morning to what we eat and drink to how likely we are to actually make it to the gym. In Hello, Habits, Sasaki explains how we can acquire the new habits that we want—and get rid of the ones that don’t do us any good.
Drawing on leading theories and tips about the science of habit formation from cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and sociology, along with examples from popular culture and tried-and-tested techniques from his own life, he unravels common misperceptions about “willpower” and “talent,” and offers a step-by-step guide to success. Ultimately, Sasaki shows how ordinary people like himself can use his principles of good habit-making to improve themselves and change their lives.
Critics Review
-
“Offers a methodology for developing helpful, healthful habits in this handy guide…Readers who find establishing a routine frustrating will love Sasaki’s methods.”
Publishers Weekly
-
“Sasaki clearly and cleanly (minimalist-style) summarizes good-habit-forming behaviors that he has gleaned from a variety of places, and his own incorporation of these behaviors…Just about everyone is bound to find something that appeals to them.”
Booklist
-
“Narrator Brian Nishii adopts a reflective, musing tone that matches Sasaki’s thoughtful material. This is not a peppy call to self-improvement manual—it’s a quieter reflection on habit making (and keeping) that takes into account what helps and hinders habit forming…Listening to this work is like taking a rambling walk with an insightful friend.”
