Building Healthy Habits

The Science of Habits –

How Small Actions Lead to Lasting Change is a practical, science-based guide to transforming your health, mindset, and everyday life one small step at a time. Drawing on psychology, behavioural science, and my experience as a Holistic Health Coach, this book shows you how to move away from unhelpful routines and towards simple, sustainable habits that really last.

Instead of quick fixes or extreme programmes, Building Healthy Habits focuses on what you do every day. You will learn how habits are formed, how to break the patterns that hold you back, and how to design new routines that support better energy, sharper focus, improved mood, and long-term health. Each chapter offers clear explanations, step-by-step tools, and real-life case studies so that you can put the ideas into action immediately.

Whether you want to improve your nutrition, move more, manage stress, sleep better, or simply feel more in control of your life, this book gives you a structured roadmap. You will discover how to:

Turn small daily actions into powerful long-term change

Strengthen willpower, motivation, and self-discipline

Build healthier habits around food, movement, sleep, and time management

Overcome setbacks without giving up on yourself

Building Healthy Habits is designed for anyone ready to stop starting over and finally create a way of living that supports lasting health and well-being.

Building Healthy Habits – Reader feedback

Finally, a habit book that feels human
“I have read a lot of self-help, but this is the first book that understands how messy real life is. The tiny habit steps and honest stories stopped me chasing perfection. I now have a realistic morning routine and have kept it going for months.”

Helped me break an old evening binge pattern
“My evenings used to vanish into snacks and scrolling. The prompts and planning tools in this book helped me design a different pattern: short walk, simple meal, then 30 minutes of something that actually recharges me. My energy and self-respect are both higher.”
