About this book

'A remarkable manual for discovering what really matters, then building a life around the answer.' Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks 'Deeply authentic and profound. How a Little Becomes a Lot will teach you manageable ways to make meaningful changes in your life. And along the way, it will give you new understandings of the world – and of your very own self.' Susan Cain, author of Quiet "Chock-full of wit and wisdom, I finished this and instantly started it all over again. It's already brought me closer to the person I want to be ... Everyone should read this book." Catherine Gray, author of The Unexpected Joy series ----- Why do some of us change for the better while others seem to get stuck? Behavioural coach Eric Zimmer has been asking himself this question for years and in this, his debut book, he shares how forming healthy habits is not enough – we need to cultivate wise habits to be applied day by day. When Eric found himself homeless, addicted and facing prison in his 20s, he developed a system of small steps that began to lead him towards lasting health. Over time, he has refined these steps into a method that he has shared with thousands of people through his coaching and chart-topping podcast, The One You Feed. How A Little Becomes A Lot brings together Eric’s research and experience to offer a framework to help improve the lives of even those among us who feel stuck and cynical about whether change is even possible in the first place. Through four simple steps – Remember, Focus, Feel and Stick – this book helps you make the small changes that will make a big difference in your life. --- 'Practical, encouraging, and deeply human – this is a guide for anyone ready to create the life they deserve.' Dr. Nicole LePera, author of How to Do the Work 'It’s wise, compassionate, and will help lots of people.' Johann Hari, author of Stolen Focus 'An entertaining, thoughtful companion for anyone learning to change from the inside out.' Kristin Neff, author of Self-Compassion 'We can all learn something from time spent with Eric Zimmer.' Emma Gannon, author of The Multi-Hyphen Method
