You Are the Sum of Your Habits: The Complete Guide
Shape what you repeat.
Eight chapters, three printable tools and a 30-day tracker.
You can't control everything that happens to you, but you can shape what you repeat. That is the idea behind You Are the Sum of Your Habits: a practical system for building habits that last, without hype and without perfection.
You begin with a habit audit of a normal day, marking each habit as helping, neutral or hurting. Eight chapters then take you through how habits work, the habit loop, identity-based habits, starting tiny, habit stacking and designing your environment. You also get morning and evening routines, and a chapter on recovering after a broken streak. Each chapter has a big idea, a diagram, a key takeaway and an exercise.
The back of the book is built for printing: a worksheet, planner, checklist and a 30-day habit tracker with checkpoints on Days 10, 20 and 30, so you can adjust as you go. Pick one habit, start tiny and let small steps add up.
