Before you dive in, make sure you'll start 2026 the right way. Track your new year resolutions in style, with the right tool. I built addTaskManager exactly for this, but you can use it to track finances, habits, anything.
Today, my book “Gravitational Habits for Financial Resilience” goes live on Apple Books, Google Play and Amazon. It has been in pre-order for more than 2 weeks, so if you placed an order (thank you, you know who you are) you should get it delivered today. It packs a punch for an actionable guide, and it’s just $9.99. Ta-daa!
The Book Story
I didn’t have in plan yet another book this year, honestly. I already have a handful of titles published, and that felt like enough. Until a couple of months ago, that is. That’s when I realized I am working with displaced pieces of a puzzle, and maybe it’s time for the puzzle to finally be assembled.
What do I mean by “working with displaced pieces” and what specifically is this “work” about? The first answer to this question would be “money, the work I’m talking about is money”. But actually the book isn’t about money. It’s about habits that control money.
This matters. A lot. It matters to calibrate your expectations (sorry, no “get rich quick” thingie, no “making money online system”). And it matters, at a more profound level, as the basic understanding of how our lives are shaped not by motivation, not by sudden jolts or epiphanies, but by what we do each and every day, on autopilot.
The Gravitational Nature of Habits
A few years ago I discovered something very subtle, about the gravitational nature of habits. It works basically like this: every time you perform an action, you add some “mass” to it. Simple, right?
Let’s say you start walking every day 2 km. You just added a little bit of subtle mental “mass” to the action of walking. Next day, you walk again. A little bit more of a “mass” is added again. Third day, you feel tired. Unmotivated. Lazy. But you walk again, regardless. The walk feels like dread and you’re not actually enjoying it, you’d rather stay on the couch today.
But here’s the thing: the mass doesn’t care about how you feel. It’s still added. The tiny “boulder” about walking is getting bigger and bigger.
So you grow this small “planet” with each and every tiny mass added to it, until, one day, it just pulls you towards it, effortless. That’s how gravitational habits work. And that’s what the book is about: creating and maintaining habits so powerful, you’d be pulled towards maintaining a stable financial line, without any effort.
What This Book Is – And What Isn’t
It’s an actionable guide. Loads of checkboxes, templates and routines. Very little philosophy. I kept the philosophy inside of the blog, if you really want to update your operating system with the most important principles, just browse the financial resilience articles. But the book, it’s something designed to help you immediately, to jumpstart your habit formation routine from the first page.
This book is for you if you’re tired of living paycheck to paycheck, if you’ve tried budgeting apps that didn’t stick, or if you simply want to stop worrying about money. It’s for freelancers navigating irregular income, employees building a safety net, or anyone who wants their finances to run on autopilot instead of anxiety.
Subsequently, this book is not about making money quickly. Also, not about making money slowly – or even about creating income. There are, of course, significant sections about how to approach income creation, but the core of the book is about how to survive (and even thrive) even when income is thin. How to maintain the mindset and the routines that keep you resilient regardless of the context.
