Packed with exciting narratives of Olympic gold medalists, CEOs, and scientists who have successfully leveraged tiny habits to enhance their productivity and overall well-being, this audiobook is curated to inspire change. Tune in for practical techniques, the surprising power of the two-minute rule, and the key to finding your “Goldilocks zone”.
