The Six Habits That Separate Extraordinary from Average
Why do some people consistently outperform others despite similar circumstances? The answer isn't innate talent or superhuman willpower - it's specific habits anyone can develop. Based on one of the largest studies ever conducted on high achievers, Brendon Burchard's research reveals that sustainable success comes from six deliberate practices. High performers aren't just more successful - they're 40% more likely to exercise regularly, report greater happiness, and experience less stress than their peers. What's most empowering is that these habits aren't personality-dependent. They function as "meta-habits" that make other positive behaviors fall into place naturally, creating a virtuous cycle of improvement across all areas of life.
