For busy people who want habits that actually stick (without burning out)
A new practical book that helps you
Build habits that stick – feel better, focus better, and live better
Without pressure, perfection, or starting from zero.
Watch the 30-second intro (sound on if you can)
A calmer approach to building habits that last
The 4-Part Habit Compass (Pause • Plan • Practice • Partner) is a simple approach to building habits that stick — without the painful cycle of pushing harder, failing, and restarting.
This approach helps you improve your habits without needing to:
overhaul your whole life in one go
chase perfection instead of progress
follow routines that don’t survive real life
rely on motivation (to only blame yourself)
We achieve this by creating space, making conscious choices, and returning to them — again and again.
Which means you can focus on what matters — your work, your relationships, and your wellbeing instead of worrying about discipline, perfection, or getting it “right.”

Happy Habits is a shortcut
Before writing the book Happy Habits, I was doing what many people do when they want to feel better, focus more, or change something in their life: I was trying harder. Reading more. Setting rules.
Making plans that looked good on paper but didn’t survive real life. From the outside, it looked like discipline. On the inside, it felt exhausting.
At some point, I realised I had made a deal I never consciously agreed to: that change had to be uncomfortable, forceful, or driven by pressure.
That assumption quietly shaped everything — until it stopped working. So instead of pushing more, I started questioning the model itself. Not breaking rules — just letting go of the ones that didn’t serve me anymore.
Over time, through observation, reflection, and lived experience (not hacks or hype, rather layoffs and losses), a different approach emerged. One that didn’t ask for perfection. One that worked with real life instead of against it. That’s what became Happy Habits.
And it’s the same approach you’re being invited to use here.
Here’s the difference between how most of us try to change and a calmer way that actually lasts.
Here's what this means for you and your life
Once you grab your copy of Happy Habits, you’ll finally be able to stop doing the things that look like change but don't actually last — and start feeling better, focusing better, and living with more ease.
Which means no more:
starting habits with enthusiasm and abandoning them later
forcing yourself into motivation when you’re already tired
trying to "fix" yourself instead of understanding yourself
comparing your progress to other people’s routines
setting unrealistic plans that don’t survive real life
feeling guilty for trying but being “inconsistent”
believing that you just need more discipline
And instead, you'll finally be able to:
feel calmer, clearer, and finally more grounded
choose habits that actually fit your energy or life
develop habits that grow quietly and stay with you
return to habits gently even when things get messy
create space before reacting or rushing into change
build consistency without pressure or self-judgement
trust yourself again instead of starting over from scratch
If this sounds like the kind of change you’ve been looking for, you can grab your copy below.
If you’d like to understand how this approach works — and why it feels so different from everything else you’ve tried — keep reading.

Hi there, I’m Gunnar Habitz.
I didn’t write Happy Habits to help people do more. I wrote it to help people feel less pressure while creating change that actually lasts.
Over the past years, I’ve written more than 25 books, worked across corporate and creative worlds, and lived through multiple life transitions that forced me to rethink how habits really work — in real life, not in ideal conditions.
Happy Habits is the framework I wish I had earlier: gentle, practical, and designed for humans, not machines.
This book is not at all about becoming someone new who you don't know. It’s about returning to what already works and building from there.
PS: Habitz really is my last name — written with a "z"... it's not a pen name 😀

Whether it’s my Happy Habits in action online course or a dedicated coaching program, I'm happy to help you improve your habits to have a better life.
Who is this for?
This book is for people who want to change something in their life without adding more pressure.
It’s especially helpful if you’ve tried habits before but struggled to stay consistent, or if you’re navigating change, transition, or a busy season of life.
Happy Habits is not about productivity hacks or discipline. It’s for thoughtful humans who want habits that feel gentle, realistic, and sustainable, even when life gets messy.
What's your special approach?
The method is a human-first approach to habits.
Instead of relying on motivation, willpower, or rigid routines, Happy Habits helps you work with your energy, your environment, and your current life situation.
You don’t force change. You don’t start over every time things slip. You build habits that can pause, adapt, and continue without guilt. That’s what makes this approach feel different — and why it lasts.
How is this different from all the other stuff out there?
Most habit books focus on optimising performance or pushing consistency at all costs.
Happy Habits focuses on making change survivable.
It’s designed for real life — interruptions, low-energy days, changing priorities, and imperfect routines included. Instead of asking, “How do I stay disciplined?” This book asks, “How do I return — gently — when life happens?” That shift changes everything.
Do I need to read this cover to cover?
No. You can read Happy Habits straight through or dip into the sections that feel most relevant right now.
Each part stands on its own, and every chapter ends with simple reflections so you can apply what matters without doing “more work.” This book meets you where you are.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. If you buy the book and you don’t love it — for any reason — just email us and we’ll refund you within 30 days. No conditions but I will be curious what I could improve on for the next edition.
