Why do some people consistently achieve more with less stress—while others stay busy but rarely make progress? The answer isn’t motivation—it’s momentum.
The Science of Momentum reveals how to harness cutting-edge research from psychology, neuroscience, and behavioral design to create a system of focus, energy, and decision-making that compounds into extraordinary results. This isn’t about hacks or quick fixes—it’s about learning how top performers think, structure their days, and sustain peak performance without burning out.
Inside, you’ll discover how to:
Reframe goals so they generate motivation that lasts
Direct your focus toward what matters most and eliminate distractions
Make smarter decisions without falling into analysis paralysis
Sync your energy with natural rhythms to unlock flow states
Stack habits and systems that reinforce success automatically
Backed by research and illustrated with real-world examples, this book offers a practical framework to thrive in work and life. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, executive, student, or creative, The Science of Momentum will help you build unstoppable forward motion—one decision, one focus session, and one habit at a time.
