This framework is not only personal but applies to businesses and communities striving for change.

Packed with case studies, including Olympic athletes, major corporations, and grassroots movements, the book explains how keystone habits—those that trigger widespread positive changes—can be leveraged to drive success. It’s a practical guide for anyone looking to exercise more, increase productivity, or foster meaningful transformation.

Whether you’re a curious reader, an entrepreneur, or a leader aiming to inspire, The Power of Habit provides actionable insights into harnessing the science of habits to reshape your life and environment for the better.
