I enjoy learning and growing and especially appreciate the shortcuts that ...
Wow thank you to the author! There is more packed into this small book than can be found in the self-help aisle of Barnes and Noble and a 100 improvement blogs combined. I enjoy learning and growing and especially appreciate the shortcuts that come from the opportunity to glean from the insight of others. This little gem of a book provides that opportunity in a simple and basic format that makes even the obvious profound. It contains ideas and strategies that I am quickly applying to my career, finances, relationships, health and fitness. Many I already am doing but the book raised my awareness of their importance and how to tweak them. The book is laid out in a simple, easy to read format. The author backs his statements with research, science (although no citations) and case studies of real people. The book goes a step further by providing written exercises, charts and forms than can help readers become aware of what they are doing, what they should be doing, and how to get to the desired next step. I think whether you already successful in these areas of your life or whether you realize you have leaps and bounds to grow, you will grow from “Change Your Habits, Change Your Life.” Thank you Tom Corley for the heart you have poured into this book and into Rich Habits: The Daily Success Habits of Wealthy Individuals. I recommend both books.Disclaimer Alert: I never heard of the author until last month when he was a guest on a J. Money and Paul Pant M.O.N.E.Y podcast. I’m a 50-something female on a journey to make these last 5 to 10 years of my career life the best they can be and to make the remaining “retired” years the most amazing they can be. I’ve nothing to gain from this review except the hope others will buy the book and add value to their already valuable lives.

Absolutely, Fantastic!
Even if you don't like Self-Help books, this is a must read for anybody that wants to improve themselves, and become more effective and efficient. Highly Recommend is a complete understatement, and doesn't give this awesome book the credit that it deserves for being outstanding! The only minor compliant is that while it's a short read, sometimes it a bit heavy on the science, but that's also what makes this book groundbreaking and unique!

The Habits of the Millionaires Next Door are revealed
This book presents one method to become healthy, wealthy and wise. It explains the slow method of becoming rich by making progress and saving each year over an extended period of time. In this gem of a book, Tom Corley, a CPA, and CFA shares 26 “rich” habits among wealthy people that helped them become rich. Corley also reveals "poor" habits that prevent people from becoming wealthy. The idea behind the book is that if an average person switches from following poor habits to developing rich habits, s/he can become rich too [with an early enough start to allow compound interest to work its magic].

Practical To-Dos From The Wealthy
I read this book as a follow-up to Charles Duhigg's, Power of Habit. Nowhere have I seen an exclusive study done on such a specific subset of successful individuals, millionaires. Not only did Corely go into scientific details of the how and why of habits, but does so with intimate knowledge of what made his clients so successful. In addition, he provides very practical steps on how to build rich habits into one's life. Something, I'm currently in the process of. That said, if you're a person who can apply knowledge in real life, then this book is for you. It'll probably transform your life in someway down the road. Otherwise, I suggest The Power of Habit instead.

A must read for great habit building
I enjoy reading books on productivity and habit building. As someone who has struggled as an entrepreneur due to bad habits, I'm always looking for ways to improve my daily habits. Frankly I was skeptical about buying this book but I'm so glad I did. It provides great examples from successful people who practice great habits and some insightful exercises for you do. Its inspiring , educational and interactive. This book is for anyone looking for a solid habit building blueprint! You won't regret buying this one! You'll learn so much and be inspired to make real changes in your life. Cheers

very disappointed with this book...
Unfortunately I am very disappointed with this book... the author writes the same thing over and over again.. it is not about 'repetition as a mother of skills', it seems more like author thought "I don't know what to write so I will write the same thing in two or three chapters, maybe no one realise.." the book is very thin and actually it shouldn't be call 'a book' - it is more like a summary of a research that should be available online just for free (in definitely shorter form not to repeat same over and over again) -the price I paid is absolutely crazy for the quality of the product. It doesn't bring anything new to the subject, it's just repeating stuff from other well known books... Do not get me wrong, I am happy author made his research and shared it, but the price and the quality do not go together at all, especially considering the subject of ''multimillionaires".Very disappointed.

Small changes for big results
Why would you get big results from small changes? The reason is because the change is part of a habit. Small habits over long time frames make big differences. The author studied the habits of poor people and rich people and identified key traits that distinguish the groups. Interestingly I read an interview Mr Corley did on a forum on the internet as a guest. The comments came from articulate people who rubbished the research because they correctly pointed out that the author points out correlation not cause and effect. Therefore they rubbished him and his "book peddling" motivation. Others saw a kind person who rose from poverty to great success and is holding out his hand for others to do the same. We can all see success and failure around us. This author explains that our behavioural choices affect our outcomes. Simple isn't easy though. He covers habits of smoking, drinking, late nights, gossiping, not saving, junk food and we can of course either ignore it, deny it or try it. Slowly but surely I want to acquire some more good habits and if you do too, good results will surely follow. We are all disappointed that it isn't easier but on the other hand the author has put in five years hard work, so that for a few hours and a few quid we can discover the same methods and maybe get similar results.
