Hello, Habits: A Minimalist’s Guide to a Better Life Audiobook

The internationally bestselling author of Goodbye, Things shares insights and practices to help us embrace habits and become the best versions of ourselves.

Fumio Sasaki changed his life when he became a minimalist. But before minimalism could really stick, he had to make it a habit. All of us live our lives based on the habits we’ve formed, from when we get up in the morning to what we eat and drink to how likely we are to actually make it to the gym. In Hello, Habits, Sasaki explains how we can acquire the new habits that we want—and get rid of the ones that don’t do us any good.

Drawing on leading theories and tips about the science of habit formation from cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and sociology, along with examples from popular culture and tried-and-tested techniques from his own life, he unravels common misperceptions about “willpower” and “talent,” and offers a step-by-step guide to success. Ultimately, Sasaki shows how ordinary people like himself can use his principles of good habit-making to improve themselves and change their lives.

“Narrator Brian Nishii adopts a reflective, musing tone that matches Sasaki’s thoughtful material. This is not a peppy call to self-improvement manual—it’s a quieter reflection on habit making (and keeping) that takes into account what helps and hinders habit forming…Listening to this work is like taking a rambling walk with an insightful friend.”
