And it's like, where do I start now?

Like, I want to do the right thing for my health, but I'm walking 10,000 steps.

Now someone's telling me I shouldn't do that.

And I'm doing this diet.

And now someone else has said, that's actually the worst thing you can do for your health.

I'm lost.

So I wanted to give them the minimum effective dose, science-backed answer to this is what you actually need to do if you want to see progress.

So I kind of had both of those people held in my mind when I wrote this book.

So that's who it's for.

And so you can meet somebody wherever they are on their journey, right?

I would say no, there's a lot I'm still working towards, I would say, but I'm on the right path, I think.

In answer to your question, the word I would keep coming back to is momentum.

And momentum is obviously a movement word.

And I think movement is obviously so important.

It's what I've built my career around.

But I think momentum also describes progress.

And I know personally for me that when I felt at my best, it's been when I can actively feel like I'm making progress towards something.

If I'm flatlined or if I'm declining,

I'm a terrible version of myself.

So I feel like everyone just needs to feel or to get into a position where they feel like they are making progress and they do have some momentum because momentum is a privilege and it keeps you driving forward.
