Book excerpt: It only takes five minutes to start changing your life. For good. Everyone wants to be healthy. But thanks to the unceasing distractions in modern life, virtually everyone also struggles to maintain this priority. And thanks to a flood of conflicting opinions and complicated programs, figuring out how to be healthy can be overwhelming. But what if all it took to make a real difference was five minutes of your day? If you've ever struggled to prioritize your health, or started an intensive plan only to stop days, weeks, or months later, it's not your fault—behavioral science shows that most plans simply aren't built to last.​ Already a #1 bestseller in the UK, Feel Better in 5 outlines a daily five-minute plan that is easy to follow, easy to maintain, and requires minimum willpower.
