‘A perfect read for anyone who feels stuck in a rut and craves a gentle shake-up.’

AMY MOLLOY, journalist, editor and author.

North Star Habits is a collection of ritual-themed stories that challenge the cookie-cutter approach to habits and offer hope that, during our toughest times, we can discover a new ritual, or rediscover an old one, that will become a lifeline.

Purchase North Star Habits

Filled with uplifting anecdotes from global writers, who range from their twenties to seventies, this book shares the hero-habits that have transformed them, healed them and led to new jobs, friends and passion projects.  No two stories are the same. They do, however, have one thing in common: a reminder that our daily rituals have a ripple effect on our past, present and future.

Thank you to Fleur and all the wonderful storytellers for giving us this volume. Highly recommended!

  • It's easy to lose perspective, but North Star habits shows us how to find our footing again in the humblest, and sometimes - most hilarious ways. Seventeen distinct and dynamic tales explore how we can overcome adversity, push beyond our limits and change our paths through the simplest rituals and transformative habits. It makes you feel excited about what you may find in the bottom your next bowl of homemade soup or within the expansive ocean if you take a brave dip!
