Why do some of us change for the better while others seem to get stuck?
Behavioural coach Eric Zimmer has been asking himself this question for years and in this, his debut book, he shares how forming healthy habits is not enough – we need to cultivate wise habits to be applied day by day.
When Eric found himself homeless, addicted and facing prison in his 20s, he developed a system of small steps that began to lead him towards lasting health. Over time, he has refined these steps into a method that he has shared with thousands of people through his coaching and chart-topping podcast, The One You Feed.
How A Little Becomes A Lot brings together Eric’s research and experience to offer a framework to help improve the lives of even those among us who feel stuck and cynical about whether change is even possible in the first place. Through four simple steps – Remember, Focus, Feel and Stick – this book helps you make the small changes that will make a big difference in your life.
