5.0 out of 5 stars Thanks for the helpful strategies!

I really enjoyed Akash Karia's The Habit Project. His clear breakdown of the process of habit formation, tools to overcome failure, and great examples to illustrate his points have inspired me to tackle a couple of habits on my wish list. This isn't a book to convince you that creating change is easy. Instead, Akash beaks down the steps to change so it becomes a simple process of small steps to your new behavior.

Packed with strategies, this could be just the push you need to add a new habit to your routine, or cut a bad one from your life. My personal favorite tool is the idea of creating a chain of success days. The thought of seeing a month, or many months, with success at a new habit marked on my calendar is motivating. "Your only job is not to break that chain!"

I liked that the ideas were clearly communicated, and agree that the book was worth the price. The premise of the book was very interesting, but it left me disappointed because I wanted to read in more depth.

If there's one thing I appreciate about any Akash Karia books is that its straightforward, no-nonsense, and replete with tips that you can apply after you finish reading the book. As someone who believes in the power of habits (including habit stacking and similar tactics), The Habit Project is a concrete example of how you can engineer your way to productivity and wellness. It gives a look on how to move forward in creating life-changing activities in one's life so you can accomplish your goals and fulfill your life's design and objectives.

Habit Project
By Akash Karia
Review by Alnoor Rajan Talwar

In his book. ‘Habit Project’, Akash Karia has clearly outlined the steps we need to take to either introduce, or reclaim ‘good habits’ in our lives and how we actually do ‘hold the reigns in our own hands’ when it comes to leading more productive and fulfilled lives despite any obstacles we may face or put on ourselves.

From the first chapter, ‘The magic of small habits’, Akash continues to remind us of the strengths we are born with, but forget because of illness, discouragement, the fear of failure or a thousand other reasons. He shows us how to start small, succeed and then gradually move on to achieve bigger and better goals by implementing good habits.

I was diagnosed with Secondary Multiple Sclerosis 11 years ago and went from an overactive man to one who had to face and accept the daily challenges of a debilitating disease. I had to re-invent myself and have to do it almost every day, depending on how I am feeling.
Akash’s book is helping me set and achieve small goals by developing habits, so that I can move onto bigger goals. For example, my right foot is weak and I force myself to continuously exercise it, even if it means just wiggling my big toe.

Akash’s book has helped aspire to become stronger, achieve more physically and mentally, to accept failures as part of my journey and most of all, to change bad habits to good habits and change negative discouraging voices into positive encouraging ones.

Akash Karia has to be commended for writing yet another aid to help reclaim our lives.
It is an easy book to follow and implement, from start to finish.

Thank you Akash!
