I dedicated my book to my parents.
And it worked out exactly as I’d hoped. 🥹
This is the text I received after my mom walked into a Barnes & Noble and found How to Be Good at Life on the shelf for the first time.
A few days later, my parents flew to New York to watch me on the TODAY Show from the green room. Seeing the pride on their faces was a moment I’ll never forget.
What a special week. ❤️
Seven years of dreaming about this. Four years of researching and writing it.
And today, How to Be Good at Life is officially out in the world! 🎉
Modern life can feel like running a small company you were never taught to manage.
Finances. Family schedules. Endless life admin. And somewhere in there, you’re supposed to exercise, eat well, build a career, and stay close to the people you love.
No wonder life feels harder than it should.
After years of studying this, I’ve come to believe that the happiest, most successful people don’t necessarily have more willpower.
They’ve learned a skill most of us were never taught:
How to build systems.
That’s what this book is all about.
Drawing on behavioral science, the business world, and systems thinking, I wrote it as an operating manual for modern life—with practical systems for your health, money, relationships, career, emotions, mind, and environment.
Productivity is just the beginning. The deeper payoff is calm and lightness. It’s the feeling that your life is finally supported by the right scaffolding.
The book is full of new ideas and insights I’ve never shared before. I genuinely believe it’s the best work I’ve done yet.
The gap between who you are and who you want to become? It’s just a few systems you haven’t built yet.
If you’d like to build them with me, you can get your copy today: geni.us/howtobegoodatlife
And to everyone who has read, shared, supported, and encouraged my work along the way: I truly couldn’t have gotten here without you.
Thank you for helping me bring this book into the world. 🫶
