About the Book: Unhinged Habits challenges how you think about work, money, and relationships, urging you to break free from routines that no longer serve you. If you feel busy yet unfulfilled, chase fleeting happiness through purchases, or live by others’ definitions of success, this book is for you. Jonathan Goodman argues that while habits shape us, true progress requires occasional bursts of bold, “unhinged” intensity. Introducing ideas like the 8:4 Rule, the Explorer’s Compass, and friendship frameworks, he shows how to balance ambition with presence—helping you redefine success and either pursue a better life wholeheartedly or step away from the middle ground.
