What if you could change your life in less than five minutes?
We assume that the highest-performing people are wired differently; that their success is down to nothing more than raw talent.
But in the course of 400 conversations with the world's most remarkable individuals, Jake Humphrey and Damian Hughes have found the opposite: real success comes from small, often imperceptible changes in behaviour. They call them micro-habits.
Drawing on exclusive interviews with leading high performers - from Olympic-medallists to billionaire entrepreneurs - Micro-Habits introduces the forty-eight simple tools that anyone can use to achieve excellence.
The best thing? They work right away.
