About this listen

Every day, we make hundreds of small actions without even thinking about them. Pulling out our smartphones, clicking the one-click purchase button, pulling down to refresh the social media feed, and more. Automatic actions that have become so deeply programmed into our lives that we don't have the chance to stop and ask ourselves a very important question: Do I actually want to do this right now?

This book is all about taking a step back, identifying the Twitch - the impulsive, unproductive responses we have to discomfort - minimizing those distractions, kicking the clutter, and doing more of what matters.

What the critics say

"In this book, Anthony provides a unique perspective on minimalism and intentional living while proving that small changes really can make a big difference. If you're looking for practical, actionable advice on clearing the clutter and doing more of what matters, this book is a must-read.” (Joshua Becker, founder of Becoming Minimalist)

"If you're tired of your life being left on autopilot and you long to live more intentionally, you need this book. If you find yourself clinging to technology without knowing why or constantly consuming instead of creating, then this one is for you. It's time to Break the Twitch. And Anthony Ongaro will show you how." (Jeff Goins, best-selling author of The Art of Work and Real Artists Don't Starve)

"Short, sweet, and motivating is only the tip of this intentionally crafted book. You're bound to have at least a few moments where you say, 'Wait – spending less and having more of what I truly want is that simple?!' The answer is a resounding 'Yes!' as Anthony proves with vibrant stories and practical steps that anyone can do without moving mountains. Get ready to replace your own mindless twitches with more focus, greater awareness, and less stress on your brain or bank account." (Joel Zaslofsky, The Smart and Simple Podcast)

I loved this book so much. I’ve been on a path of simplifying my life and home and working towards being a more conscious consumer, and I heard about this book on YouTube while watching a video on someone’s no buy year. I decided to get it and listen to it while decluttering a closet, and it felt like a theory meets practise therapy session haha! I felt very seen in an uncomfortable yet also “it’s not just me” kind of way. So much valuable information and perspectives. It’s super short and can be listened to in one go. Highly recommend!

Really informative, easy to digest

Not only is Anthony's voice soothing and pleasant, his message in this book is one I feel a lot of people desperately need to hear but yet do not know it. If you struggle with distractions, urges to spend money, buy little things that don't matter, and want to live presently, this short listen is highly recommended. It is a great first step into the life of minimalism.

C’est le livre que j’avais besoin d’entendre présentement! La narration est agréable et le propos nous fait réfléchir sur notre consommation excessive et sur nos réels besoin. Un livre qui fait du bien!

While the book had a few useful ideas, it was overly repetitive. It could have been much shorter without losing any value.
