I’m Dave Sellars (aka Dr Habits) author of Stop or Start Habits with Outcome Visioning. As a former university professor, I have guided thousands of students in building good habits that allowed them to meet their educational and career goals. As a life coach for changing habits, my current focus is on helping you stop bad habits and start good habits so you can lead the life you want to live.

In my mid-twenties I realized I had personal problems that were formed in childhood. So I began a thirty-year journey of self-discovery and personal growth. I studied and used many therapeutic treatments to solve my problems: transcendental meditation under the leadership of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Gestalt therapy, transactional analysis, Rolfing, auditing therapy offered by the Church of Scientology, hypnosis, subliminal tapes, yoga, journaling, and many self-help books. Throughout these years I sought counseling from at least eight psychologists. The most beneficial means to address the problems was counseling.

In 2008 I had an aha moment. I was reading a book on personal growth and saw a definition of habit. It said a habit is a pattern of behavior, thoughts, or feelings. The question came to mind, “Isn’t all personal growth dependent on changes in behavior, thoughts, and feelings?” To test my theory I began to record habits that I observed in myself and others. My investigation continued with reading more than 100 books and articles on habits and how they affect people’s lives. My personal experiences and research have convinced me that if you want to change your life, you must change your habits.

This personal revelation was so important that I decided to use what I learned to help myself and others interested in changing habits. I’d written books in other areas, but this led me to write my practical guide to habit change. Stop or Start Habits with Outcome Visioning offers a step-by-step proven process to changing habits. Outcome Visioning provides the motivation and willpower needed to change.
