In her latest book, Sincero, author of You Are a Badass and You Are a Badass at Making Money, offers readers some fresh perspectives on habit-forming processes and helps them overcome the bad ones and create new healthier practices. She urges readers to set no-nonsense boundaries, then describes the steps toward habit creation: triggers, sequence, repetition, ease, patience, and identity. Through real-life examples and highlighted bullet points, she takes readers through a 21-day process of realizing their desired goals. Some highlights: “Focus on the fact that you’re doing yourself a favor rather than feeling like you’re denying yourself something”; “Focus on the bigger picture”; and “Take tiny bites.”
VERDICT Sincero is a master of her craft in helping people effect permanent changes. Her book is highly recommended.
