Unhinged Habits: A Counterintuitive Guide for Humans to Have More by Doing Less

What would it take for you to wake up excited about the monotony of the mundanity of your day-to-day tasks? To stop feeling guilty about the stuff you're not doing, and instead be energized by what you've chosen to do?

This is the guide to building an awesome, aspirational, and fun life, to reclaiming optimism and meaning when the things we were once so excited to have--the dream job, the family and kids--become tedious obligations, each with a mounting daily task list that we can never seem to fully catch up on. It's a book for the person who, already exhausted, keeps thinking they can "have it all" if they just work a little smarter or a lot harder.

We are all in a constant struggle to balance the primary competing priorities in our lives. Simplified, those are: Money, Health, and Relationships. Within each category, there are main elements. Within health, you have fitness, resiliency, and exploration. Within money, there's guilt, comparison, and work. And within relationships, there's family, community, and friendship.

The secret to self-improvement is simply a matter of strengthening one arm of the triangle at a time, without letting the others collapse. Over time, the entire structure strengthens.
