Unhinged Habits: A Counterintuitive Guide for Humans to Have More by Doing Less

By Jonathan Goodman

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

Unhinged Habits will revolutionize your relationship to work, money, and even adult friendship. Read Unhinged Habits if:

Your calendar's 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.
