Leo Babauta is a simplicity blogger at Top 25 blog Zen Habits and a best-selling author.

In 2005, he was overweight, sedentary, deeply in debt, addicted to cigarettes and junk food, with a life full of clutter and no time for anything important, like his wife and kids. That's where he started his journey of life changes.

Over the next few years, he changed everything ... one step at a time:

• Quit smoking 
• Started running, ran several marathons & a 50-mile ultramarathon 
• Started eating healthier, eventually became vegan 
• Lost 60 lbs. 
• Simplified and got rid of clutter 
• Got out of debt 
• Started a successful blog, quit his day job 
• Overcame procrastination, wrote numerous books 
• Found time for health, family, writing, reading
• And much more

Since then he's helped tens of thousands of people change their life through habit change.

Babauta is a husband and father of six children, and in 2010 moved from Guam to San Francisco, where he leads a simple life.

The Zen Habits book is already fully funded (and then some) on Kickstarter.
