One Second Habits

Change your life—one second at a time. What if the power to transform your entire life wasn't hidden in massive goals, strict routines, or endless willpower? What if it was right here—in the space of a single second? In One Second Habits, Bill Shook introduces a simple yet profound method for creating lasting change.

Whether you've tried and failed with big habit programs, or you simply want a more mindful and empowering way to live, One Second Habits offers a refreshing path forward. You don't need to force change. You don't need to wait for the "right time." You just need a second. And this book will show you how to use it.
