Publisher's summary

Our willpower is limited, yet we rely on it every day to get our tasks done. Even if we build willpower slowly over time, it's never enough to reach all of our goals. The solution lies in habit creation, the method by which we transform hard tasks into easy ones, making them automatic and independent of our will power. Each of us has millions of habits, in how we do our work, interact with others, perceive the world, and think about ourselves. Left unexamined, these habits are just as likely to hinder our progress as they are to push it along. Without a deliberate system for building habits, we become our own worst enemy.

Superhuman by Habit examines habit building in depth. It covers the principles and philosophies of habit building, as well as the practical nuts and bolts implementing those habits. The second half of the audiobook is dedicated to specific habits in every major area of life, covering the pros and cons of each, the path to implementing them, and specific notes about each one.

Useful book

Love the content of the book. Good examples. However, there are production mistakes that annoy me in the Audible version.

Some Gold Nuggets But Very Distracting

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Had some good ideas but might be better to read the actual book as the performance was distracting.

How could the performance have been better?

There were weird cuts where the author/narrator messed up and didn't even finish the sentence. He also wasn't the best performer. It sounded like it was read in the guys basement with not great equipment (which I kinda suspect is the cast). For me it was quite distracting in trying to soak up the info.

Really powerful way to think about habits

Just the main concept alone is worth the price of the book, great ideas here

Straightforward and Relatable

Very good advice was given. My favorite parts were understanding that habits use up less of your willpower and that triggers can form both good and bad habits, so create triggers for the good ones. I look forward to listening again.

Fantastic book

A fantastic book - best book I've read on habits. Delivery could use some work though.

Might Listen to this Monthly

Short enough, but most importantly, concise and critical at every turn. Really great information that, if it gets into your psyche and you act on these suggestions bit by bit, you’re going to be super human. Amazing.

Recommended!

a very easy to listen and straight book.. highly recommended for picking up bad habits you have and work on them!

Logically, simplified ways to create good habits.

It was so informative I listened to it three times. Definitely worth your time now.

Superb

If I had to explain this book in a single sentence I would say that it is "Get Rich Slowly for life, in general".

Tynan lays out practical approaches to overcoming huge life hurdles via adding or removing one small habit at a time. His section on chaining one habit to another is also particularly useful.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who has come to realize that the habits they currently have are not yielding the desired results.

Reads like a self-published e-book

I really liked the concepts in this book, and it's nice that the author spells out exact examples of how to implement them. I can also appreciate that the author is narrating his own book, and that is the only reason I gave the performance 2 stars instead of 1. Authors are not the same as performers, and so when an author narrates their own book, mistakes are more acceptable because they are really writers, not narrators. Bad narration can be made up for by good editing, but this book doesn't have good editing. At one point you can even hear the narrator ask himself how to say a word. This audio book is cheap and it's obvious when you are listening to it. But I guess you get what you pay for.
