Habits for Success: How to Change Your Life One Step at a Time

by Daniel Walter

How often have you promised yourself that you’ll start working on your side hustle in January, only to have thrown in the towel by February?

Or perhaps you need to lose weight but can’t seem to stop eating the foods that make you pile on the pounds.

Does this sound familiar? Not to worry; it doesn’t have to be like this. There’s a solution—I promise.

To break bad habits, it’s essential to understand the neuroscience behind what drives you to want the cake instead of the apple, and to sleep instead of go to the gym. Once you recognize that the brain is designed to learn in patterns, you’ll realize there’s a lot more to your inability to achieve your goals than a lack of motivation.

Most people resign themselves to the false belief that success isn’t for everyone. But it is—if you know how to attain it. You may have listened to all the success gurus, been to all the seminars, and tried all the techniques, but nothing’s working. That’s because there’s a missing ingredient that is rarely discussed, and in Habits for Success, you will learn exactly what that is. You’ll also discover:

How to build self-discipline
Tips on replacing bad habits with proven success-building habits
Strategies to stay focused on your goals
How to transform your environment to prevent bad-habit relapses
Tools to build mental resilience
Habit-building exercises to ensure you achieve your goals
Steps to eliminate procrastination and get stuff done

Despite the number of bad habits you’ve acquired over the years, if you’re willing to diligently apply the principles set out in this book, you can turn your life around within a few months.

Discover the secrets to eradicating the bad habits that are keeping you stuck, and adopting the good habits that will ensure you soar.

A book full of brilliant, captivating, and dynamic information that will make a positive impact on everyone's life.

The author begins by giving a personal example. He couldn't manage his own money, so he was broke financially. Buying things uncontrollably was harming his life, and he was unable to control it. As a result, it became impossible to overcome this situation.

Nevertheless, he always admired successful people and wondered how they were able to succeed. In an effort to satisfy his curiosity, he started researching the lives of these people. Then he realized that success demands self-discipline, discipline, and willpower..

In addition to inspirational themes, the chapters will explain why bad habits develop, how to adapt good habits, and how failure plays a major role in learning.

The mention of practicing gratitude was very interesting to me. Whenever you focus on this feeling, you feel spiritually strong and good. It can be said that your life reflects your attitudes and thoughts in this sense.

In summary, I believe you should have this publication on your nightstand as an adviser. I highly recommend it.

This book does what it says on the cover. It gives simple bite size tips on improving your life, one small bit at a time. It covers why we have bad habits and are self destructive in an easy to understand way. It's less of a 'How To..' book and more of a 'You Can Easily Do This' type of book.

I found myself thinking that the author had been watching me grow up when explaining habits and found myself thinking, yes this is me.

I love that we can all change the way we think and act by changing small things in an easy way that fits into our lives. Getting up and doing a morning routine as suggested in this book is such a simple process and sets you up for the day refreshed and motivated. If that's all you choose to do then you have gained a great amount from this book.

My suggestion is read it, then read it again as there are always bits you miss on the first read, and will help reinforce what you have remembered.

Daniel walks us through what bad habits we may have that hold us back from achieving our dream life. He addresses why we may have developed these bad habits to begin with. He then gives us multiple strategies to conquer and overcome them, while we replace them with healthy good habits. He does this using scientific data and experiences from his own life and journey from bad habits to successful life habits.

If you have been sitting on your dreams and are having problems even getting started on making them a reality, then you should let Daniel attempt to help you figure out what bad habits are holding you back and how to tackle them so you can tackle your dreams. I am grateful to have had the pleasure of reading “Habits For Success” and believe that I will finally be able to conquer my bad habits and pave the way for my own dream success.

Thank you Daniel.

Food for thought and fuel for action.
This book has a lot of useful content. Daniel’s insights are useful and clearly structured.
The self help strategy is more tough love than I expected- one step at a time - suggests the reader will be hand held through the process of change, this is not the case.
The book presents clear strategies which have proven time and again to be effective, but lacks the fluffier, approach of some self-help literature.
I found this motivating reading and would certainly adopt a lot of the recommendations: reading more, rising earlier, exercising and decluttering are all sound advice.
The message is clear all the way through - the power to change is in our hands. We can succeed in our life goals, if we are prepared to make sacrifices and a concerted effort to change entrenched behaviour patterns holding us back.

I read many books of this type and the first thing I felt when reading Daniel's was Wow! I can do everything you recommend. Other productivity books recommend solutions that are expensive or difficult to implement. The most complex thing that Daniel indicates is to use paper and pencil and the most expensive is salvia or salt.
Daniel does not preach, sell himself as a productivity genius or invent impossible situations with characters who can escape to a productivity course on an island paradise. He explains where he was wrong and how he corrected it, thus showing that he is not a prophet who comes down to enlighten us with his wisdom, but one of us who shares what we learned from his mistakes.

Habits for success is something you should read if you are looking to change your daily routine and to learn different techniques that will help you use your time in a more productive way. Daniel shares easy tips to follow on how to break bad habits and create new ones. The author makes the book relatable by sharing real life examples of obstacles he has overcome himself. This is a good book to have on hand if you ever need a mini pep talk and reminder that success is not linear but it is achievable if you are motivated and ready for a change.

The ideal amount of really useful and actionable information in a quick to read, enjoyable book. The steps are simple, it’s the persistence that’s hard but there plenty to revisit here and encourage you on your way. I’m driven by habits, so it was very useful to understand how to recognize the bad ones and how to change them out for better ones. Written with a light touch, this doesn’t feel like a preachy book, instead it feels like a genuinely useful book, a kind of second voice in your head to help you on your way. Recommended.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I've been trying to find a way to tackle bad habits & negative thinking but always ended up going back to my bad ways. I now understand why & what to do about it. Here's to a fantastic life ahead - it starts in the mind & I'm actually excited about putting these strategies in to place. I also learned about motivation vs willpower (assuming they were more or less the same thing) - I got that wrong. Thank you for a great book!

I thought this was a good read. Information was concise and not a lot of fluff, which I personally hate! The information presented was sound. I am in healthcare and have read many articles, books, research, etc on this topic and I did not see anything that was really amiss. It was easy to read, I never felt like I was trudging through. I'm excited to start working on some of the habits suggested!.

Mostly useful, helpful

Definitely contains some good strategies for changing your habits as well as some life changing ones, like the five-second rule. A gem. That was was exceedingly useful and helped me overcome at least some of my tendency to procrastinate. Other areas of advice were just common sense, practical and not new. Will skim the book again to implant the best of it into my brain.

[Shelly Wygant · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book covers numerous bad habits and give some great advice on how to overcome them. Not only give ideas on how to change your habits but covers reasons why you may fail at changing habits. Throughout the book Mr Walter continues to give you hope even letting you know that if you fail to get back on track.

Very easy to read and with clear examples.

Concise of all

Good book to get to know most ideas out there that has already been written. A lot of these topics are further discussed in other books.

It was an interesting read - mainly summarised the ideas of others already out there on the market - but a good “launch point” for further reading and deep diving concepts summarised therein.

4.5 stars
Great book, very practical as usual. I just regret there are some repetitions from his other great books The Power of Discipline and the Power of Action.

Informative and Practical Steps

A lot in this book was not new, but it put it in a way that makes it easy to take a much larger holistic approach to your success.
