You are not lazy, broken, or weak-willed. You are running old instructions in a new life — and instructions can be rewritten.

You know what to do. So why don't you do it? This book takes the gap between knowing and doing apart — the snoozed alarm, the abandoned plan, the reply never sent — with real research and no blame. Each chapter names the mechanism underneath a familiar failure, then ends with one small practice to test the same day. Understand yourself well enough to stop fighting yourself.

Inside the book:

- Why habits beat intentions — and why a habit takes closer to sixty-six days than twenty-one
- Why your attention leaks all day — and the small design changes that plug the leak
- Why motivation arrives after you start, not before — and how to begin without it

The book includes: 21 short chapters on the habits of the mind · a practice at the end of every chapter · a 21-worksheet workbook to make it stick · a full reference guide to the research.
