I'm thrilled to introduce my latest creation—a brand-new book titled Foundations.

This innovative guided journal distills the extensive research from my intensive year-long endeavor known as the Foundations project. Within its pages, you'll discover a clear explanation of what foundational habits truly represent, practical strategies for developing and maintaining superior routines, and all the vital essentials related to the twelve core foundations I delved into throughout that transformative year.

Designed as a guided journal, it goes beyond mere reading material by incorporating a structured, progressive habit tracker. This feature empowers you to launch your own year-long initiative aimed at establishing those twelve pivotal keystone habits. Additionally, it offers thoughtfully crafted prompts to help you overcome common obstacles and roadblocks, along with extra tracking sheets to support your efforts even after the initial year concludes.

The book is readily available for purchase on Amazon, offered in convenient hardcover, paperback, and Kindle editions.

The Foundations project, which I successfully completed last year, stands out as one of the most rewarding and impactful endeavors of my career. Over the course of twelve months, I systematically focused on twelve distinct habits, resulting in remarkable enhancements across multiple areas of my life: physical fitness, daily productivity, financial stability, and interpersonal relationships. During this period, I immersed myself in more than 100 books, shed excess weight, optimized my sleep patterns, and ultimately cultivated a greater sense of overall happiness and fulfillment.

Although we have exciting plans to launch the comprehensive companion course—complete with over 160 detailed lessons, interactive guided worksheets, and personalized community coaching (with the upcoming session scheduled for May)—I recognize that not everyone can commit to or afford a premium online program. To bridge this gap and extend the benefits of the project to a wider audience, I meticulously crafted this guided journal as a concise yet powerful adaptation of the core teachings from the full course.

What Exactly is a Guided Journal?

This marks my inaugural venture into the realm of guided journals, so for those unfamiliar with the concept, allow me to elaborate. A guided journal seamlessly blends the informative depth of a traditional book with targeted, structured prompts designed to spark your personal reflections. It also integrates a practical habit tracker, enabling you to embark on your personalized iteration of the Foundations project with confidence and clarity.

To provide some perspective on its scope, the complete manuscript clocks in at just over 20,000 words. By contrast, my two traditionally published works—Ultralearning and Get Better at Anything—each spanned approximately 75,000 words. This journal adopts a more direct, action-focused style compared to my usual nonfiction approach, delivering precisely the knowledge and tools required to successfully overhaul your foundational habits for lasting life improvement.

If you've followed my Foundations project and are genuinely committed to replicating it in its entirety, this journal serves as the ideal roadmap to guide your journey.

For those preferring to adopt only a select handful of these habits, the detailed guidance provided within these pages equips you with everything necessary to begin effectively.

Even if you're hesitating and unsure about diving in right away, the book remains an engaging and insightful read on its own merits. It just might inspire you to take those first steps toward meaningful personal growth and positive life changes.

Published exclusively through Amazon, the Foundations guided journal comes in paperback, hardcover, and Kindle formats. The digital Kindle edition conveniently includes links to downloadable PDFs for the habit trackers and journal prompts, ensuring you have endless options for continued use.

I sincerely hope you find as much joy and value in exploring this book as I did in bringing it to life!

A heartfelt shoutout to my exceptional editor Maria Bengtson, talented designer Dávid Csere, course production lead Vat Jaiswal, and my supportive wife Zorica, whose encouragement was instrumental in making this journal a reality.

Additionally, the book provides download links for printable PDF versions of all trackers and writing prompts, allowing you to generate as many copies as needed to track your ongoing progress indefinitely. For context, while the companion course's lesson transcripts alone exceed 200,000 words, this journal captures the essence in a highly accessible format.
