Ludvig Sunstrom – Breaking Out Of Homeostasis

“One of the most significant books I’ve read in a long time is Breaking Out of Homeostasis.” Every few years, you read one or two novels that utterly transform the way you perceive the world, and this is undoubtedly one of them.”
—Martin Sandquist, Billionaire in Finance (Founder Lynx Asset Management)
“This book is hazardous. It will cause you to have painful thoughts about things you could (and should) change. However, it will force you to explore strong new mental boundaries. So, if you can persevere and put these concepts into action, you will be abundantly rewarded.”
—Mikael Syding, Hedge Fund Manager of the Decade in Europe
“This book prepares you for success.” It serves as a reminder that conformity is regression.”
Intermittent Fasting pioneer Martin Berkhan
“Look no farther if you’re seeking for a resource that will help you master your body and mind; everything is available here.”
—Amazon Client
“This is one of the greatest self-help books I’ve ever read.” It’s surprising coming from such a young author. In the same category as writers such as Nassim Taleb. I wish I’d read this book 20 years ago, but it’s better late than never!”
Amazon reviewer Yen Thut
“A fantastic book with a startlingly clear message.” “How come this isn’t being discussed in public?”
—Amazon reviewer Clarence Jackson
“Every school should have this book.” It’s just the way life is.”
Amazon reviewer Will Robertson
“At long last, a book that doesn’t tell me that “it’s not your fault,” that it’s the fault of society, culture, and my skin. Whatever.”
Ryan T, an Amazon reviewer
“This book has altered my perception of myself and my thinking…. It will help you get to know yourself much better than you did previously!”
-Amazon reviewer Viktor Nilsson
“Without a doubt, one of the greatest personal development books I’ve read in recent years.” “Clear and actionable advise on achieving goals.”
Amazon reviewer S. Peterson
“I’ve been following Ludvig’s website for years, so it’s no surprise that I enjoy this book.” Why do I enjoy the author’s philosophy, blog, and book so much? Because he is not a self-help author, he is a regular person who has discovered a strategy for truly changing his life. The human body and mind are unsuited for modern civilization, according to the thesis of this book. This mismatch causes us to remain in homeostasis, where we are doomed to repeat our mistakes. According to Ludvig, the secret to success is breaking away from our inherent urge to maintain the status quo. This is a complicated work with no easy answers, but if you want to ACTUALLY better your life, this book provides many practical recommendations that will work.”
-Amazon reviewer Danny Nixs
“This book will get you thinking.
A lot.
It helped me understand that those momentary moments of mental alertness, clarity, and decisiveness can be nurtured.
Ludvig demonstrates how to do so using habits, activities, and practices he has developed for himself. This is not a simple book to read. You will not finish and feel very fun and cheerful. No, you’ll read it slowly, taking copious notes, highlights, and bookmarks and continually asking yourself, “How can I use this?” This is a book I’ll return to time and over.”
—Amazon reviewer J.Parbat
“It’s remarkable how much more conscious you become of yourself and your behaviors after reading it.”
For example, if you’ve ever wondered why individuals return back full of ideas after traveling, this book will explain the science behind it. It also explains why so many billionaires and successful individuals might appear weird or insane to the rest of us. When my son is older, I will definitely have him read it. I believe we all have 5-10 novels to which we will return time and again. This is unquestionably one of mine.”
MP, an Amazon reviewer
“This is an outstanding work that any successful entrepreneur or businessperson should immediately take up and implement.” Ludvig shows you how to be adaptive and evolve as you get older by breaking bad habits and reprogramming your brain’s reward system. There is also extensive training on when to trust your intuition and when not to; how to build your neocortex for higher order thinking while suppressing fear in order to become braver and more charismatic. He also shows you how to discover and observe patterns in everyday life. I know for a fact that transcending self-imposed constraints through pattern discovery is a critical component of living an extraordinary life.”
—Jay Campbell, entrepreneur and health author
“This book can help you build the correct mentality if you want to break out from the herd and achieve your goals.”
This is an excellent book. Completely motivating and full with useful advice to keep you from sleepwalking through life. If you want to achieve more than you already have, this is one of the greatest books on the subject I’ve read (and I’ve read a lot).”
Entrepreneur Karim Harbott
“For the past 7+ years, I’ve surrounded myself with creative and ambitious people.” But nothing has come close to changing my entire worldview the way Ludvig’s work did. My digital publishing company has thrived in large part because to Ludvig’s generosity in divulging homeostasis secrets.”
Entrepreneur Stefan Taylor

“Ludvig is one of the few persons on the internet that gives REAL advise and ideas that will make a difference in your life.”

This book is jam-packed with high-quality material. Breaking out of Homeostasis has actually assisted me in expanding the boundaries of my comfort zone and significantly reducing procrastination in my life.”
—Amazon reviewer Erik Nilsson
“There is nothing artificial about this – no wishful thinking, gimmicks, trite spiritualism or pop psychology – no illusion that results can be obtained without actual effort and hardship.” Sunström’s theories are strongly grounded in genuine science and rigorous investigation. His book’s greatest strength is its broad applicability.”
—Amazon reviewer Matt Warren
“The BOOH idea and philosophy is perhaps the most actionable and powerful self-development advice I’ve ever received.”
Since reading Ludvig’s blog 5 years ago, I’ve been implementing the Breaking Out of Homeostasis concept consistently. + BOOH is founded on science and extensive study. You will learn WHY we act the way we do and HOW to regain control of your mind and body. + Over 100 practical recommendations you can include into your daily routine to boost your energy, motivation, and performance. If I could only read one self-help/psychology book in my life, it would be Ludvig’s BOOH.
Stop hoping for a simpler existence. Break out of your homeostasis to become stronger.”
—Amazon reviewer Vojtech Krajsa

“Ludvig’s book is unique in that he is one of the few persons who can blend several mental models into a holistic approach to goal achievement.” For example, how do you stay motivated when working toward a goal? Your typical self-help book may include a story as well as a list of steps you can perform. Ludvig’s method is unique. He presents the notion of the science of rewards (for example, classical and operant conditioning), emphasizing the significance of its concepts and how to apply these principles to improve motivation. He approaches things through mental models, determining which areas are most essential in what he’s handling and applying those fields in a practical method. Other concepts and practical suggestions that may be of interest to a mental model learner include:
– how to develop the winner effect (with with its benefits and drawbacks) – why physical movement, rather than thinking, is the quickest way to improve your mood – strategies to increase mental resourcefulness

Amazon reviewer Newvick Lee
“Wow. This book was fantastic. I finished it in one sitting (6 hours). Ludvig blends ideas from several domains to get some surprising findings. My biggest practical takeaways were: – regarding burnout due to lack of sleep (I had been independently experimenting with only one meal per day, which resulted in me needing only six hours of sleep per night and I was concerned about how this could affect weight training) – don’t start the day with email – write a paper to-do list before opening a computer – have a metric that you measure and strive to improve – the significant detail on feedback loops and
—Amazon reviewer Shasa Gimblett
“As an intellectual connoisseur, I place this work in the same category as Gödel-Escher-Bach (Eternal Golden Braid) and Seeking Wisdom.” That is, it offers a self-contained philosophy full of relevant concepts for people from many walks of life and professions. Some readers may find it difficult to absorb so many diverse concepts at once, but everyone can profit from the guidance.”
—Amazon reviewer Sarah McDugan

“At first, I was skeptical of the title, hoping it wasn’t another rehashed self-help book with the same old advice (“Take cold showers, perform affirmations, and employ the Law of Attraction, and then YOU can be just as successful as I!”)

But there is nothing of the kind in this book. It is by far the most PRACTICAL self-mastery book I’ve ever read. Every chapter concludes with an in-depth overview and a comprehensive set of practical recommendations for applying the lessons to your own life.
This is the kind of book you buy, highlight, and re-read once a month.
However, if I could give you one bit of advise (and Ludvig himself acknowledges this several times throughout the book), DON’T TRY TO DO EVERYTHING AT ONCE.
Change is difficult, and most individuals avoid it for that reason. Choose 2-3 items from each chapter, put them into practice, and document your outcomes.”
—Amazon reviewer Conor Gallagher
“Many people have already posted excellent evaluations. I’ll offer a little tale about how this book altered the course of my relationship, my energy levels, creativity, and outlook on life. ‘Variety’ is one of the book’s ideas. That in order to stay alive, your brain requires diversity; else, it will go to sleep. I discussed it with my wife, and we came up with two basic rules. Rule 1: Never dine at the same restaurant twice; we have to choose a different spot for date night every week. Rule #2: Every week, we must attend a cool event that we have never attended before. As a consequence, we’re both high on life, having considerably more fun than we ever did before, and as a result, our brains are fully active, and we’re pursuing our objectives with greater enthusiasm and fervour. It’s been fantastic. That is the good impact that has resulted from implementing only one of the book’s ideas. This, I believe, is the entire point of this book: to help you break free from homeostasis so you may live a better life and achieve your goals.”
—Amazon reviewer David Pita
