There's nothing I can do.

Well, the first thing to remember is if you go back through history, it's either individuals or small groups of individuals that have always changed the world.

You start by being the light in the room.

You walk into a room and you act like a thermostat, not a thermometer.

A thermometer just tells you the temperature.

A thermostat goes in and thinks, nah, man, I'm changing the temperature.

Yeah, Anthony, I think really Microhabits is a self-help book for people that don't like self-help books.

And in some ways, I almost felt embarrassed that we were charging people, right, for this book because it's so obvious.

But I think we live in a world where we've been told for years that you have to have a big goal.

You have to have a big ambition.

You have to have a dream.

You have to write it down.

You have to...

have the big thing on the horizon, the BHAG, we call it in UK business, don't we?

Big, hairy, audacious goal.

And I think we oversubscribe for that.

And we undersubscribe for the fact that we've interviewed now, as you mentioned, 400 people on the High Performance Podcast, including yourself.

And wherever we have these conversations with people, it becomes absolutely clear that the reason why they've got to where they have in life is the behaviors that they've taken on board.

So the best example from the book is that Tom Daley originally started off by drawing a picture of himself on the 2012 Olympic gold medal winning position as one of the British diving hopes for 2012.

He would have been about seven or eight years old at the time because he was a very young kid.
