    About this ebook

    It comes as no surprise that this is the ultimate truth for anyone who has ever achieved excellence in life. It’s not about talent or luck; rather, it’s repeated action with consistency that counts. And that’s the power of habit.

    On average, the human brain makes up just 4 percent of the mass of the whole body, but it consumes 20 percent of our total energy to function optimally. That’s how much our brain is working to allow us to live a normal life. But for it to work efficiently, our brain actually ignores almost 80 percent of the information it collects by putting it into autopilot, due to our limited energy and limited ability to make decisions consistently.

    Without the mechanism for forming habits, we would probably not even exist. We’d never be able to remember a thing, never be able to learn a thing, and never be able to even think.

    Having thought of this, I’d estimate 90 percent of our daily activities are our habits. I believe this applies to you too. With that said, any result you obtained today, whether it’s good or bad, is the collective product of your habits in the past. Likewise, every result you desire for the future depends on the habits you have and cultivate at this moment. Turning this around, your current bad habits will eventually destroy you in the future.

    It’s clear that mastering our habits will do way more good to us as creatives and entrepreneurs. To be a better version of ourselves, it’s crucial to break and reduce destructive habits and cultivate good, lasting habits. In this article, you will learn the scientific formula behind habit formation, how to break a bad habit and replace it with a good one, and finally, how to make good habits stick.

    Dean Yeong

    I study successful people with wide range of background and discipline from top performing athletes to successful entrepreneurs. Then, I share these research-based ideas and techniques about behavioral psychology and performance improvement on my personal website DeanYeong.com Being a creative and an entrepreneur myself, I acknowledge that the ability to making better decisions, cultivating good habits, and maintaining great health are crucial to our work and life. That’s when I started to dive deeper into these topics to uncover what makes successful people and top performers achieve what they have achieved. However, I don’t just write about things. Along the way, I like to try out the concepts myself as the experiment to build better habits and rituals to achieve what matters the most to me. And that indirectly shape my personal website, it’s one part of research-based facts and findings, one part storytelling, and one part personal thoughts and experience. A small selection of my ideas and words are being featured on Elite Daily, Inc, The Huffington Post, Thought Catalog and other publications.

    Introduction

    We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, is not an act, but a habit – Aristotle

    This is a powerful quote by one of the greatest Greek philosophers and scientists. It comes as no surprise that this is the ultimate truth for anyone who has ever achieved excellence in life. It’s not about talent or luck; rather, it’s repeated action with consistency
