About this listen

Read by the author.

Break bad habits and build your rich life by mastering the art of strategic subtraction.

Unhinged Habits will revolutionize your relationship to work, money, and even adult friendship.

Read Unhinged Habits if:

  • Your calendar’s packed, yet you feel like you're missing what matters.
  • You've bought things meant to bring happiness, but the satisfaction didn't last.
  • You suspect you're living someone else's definition of success rather than your own.

We’re all habitual by nature. We fall into patterns and get stuck. We form habits and never question them.

Some habits propel us forward. Others can work against us over time.

The key? Get the order right. Balance short-term desires with long-term planning. Set yourself up for a bright future without missing the magic in the present.

Unhinged Habits pushes back against slow and incremental progress in the pursuit of some faceless, better future. Lots of people are consistent, yet few get ahead. What’s missing are intermittent bouts of unhinged intensity.

This is a book about wanting a better life and going after it. Or be okay not having it. Both are fine. Just get out of the middle.

For over 13 years, Jonathan Goodman has challenged societal norms and built multi-million-dollar businesses, all while exploring over 30 countries with his family. In Unhinged Habits, Goodman shares the essential insights that freed him from conventional expectations. You will learn:

  • The 8:4 Rule. The counterintuitive seasonal approach that embraces unbalance to level up your relationships with people, money, and health.
  • The Explorer's Compass. A framework to break routine and rediscover wonder in your everyday life.
  • The Three Proxies of True Friendship. How to categorize your friends so you spend more time with the true ones and feel less guilt for letting others go.

Buckle up, because this book is going to break you out of the routines you’ve accepted as normal, but no longer serve you, so that you can finally live your definition of success.

When my friend Michael Roderick recommended this book to me,

I thought, do I really need another book like this?

I already have over 900 titles in my Audible account.

Then I realised it’s only one credit and I can always return the book if I didn’t like it.

When I got to chapter two I knew this book was a keeper.

Here’s why...

You’ll discover ‘The Golden Triangle.’

The most important concept for lasting success and happiness in the three main areas of your life.

Money, Health and Relationships.

As the author says, ‘you can have everything, just not all at once.’

You pick one and go all in.

He calls this a ‘season.’

So I took his advice and chose money as my season.

I have used this idea before, but I’ve never gone all in until now.

Glad I did because I’ve never had so many awesome breakthroughs in my business.

I’ve partnered up with one A list copywriter, and we made $5,000 on the first day!

The agreement I’ve just signed off on is the biggest move of my copywriting career.

I will go down in history as the man who changed everything in direct response copy.

My latest book got me on a famous copywriting podcast – twice.

That’s unheard of in our industry.

I could go on and tell you about another five breakthroughs, but I think you get the idea.

If I did have a list of my top five books of all time, this would be number one.

The fact that it changed how I go about my days and what I focus on and how fast I’m seeing results says it all.

If there is such a thing as going beyond ‘game changing’ this book is it.
