We’re coming to the end of 2024, which is just unbelievable to me! It’s also the end of my 18th year of publishing Zen Habits — what?!

It’s been so amazing to be on this journey with all of you. Thank you for being readers.

As I do every year, I’m going to run through some of the highlights of my year, and then share the best Zen Habits posts of 2024.

Let’s look at some of the highlights of the year:

  • Zen Habits Youtube Channel: This year, I decided to create as much valuable content on ​my Youtube channel​ as possible, and it absolutely rocked! Thanks to the 6K subscribers I gained this year, and everyone who has commented on the videos. I really love creating this content!

  • Fearless Living Academy - The Practice: In my ​Fearless Living Academy​, we continued to improve things, including the launch of a monthly challenge called The Practice — aimed at helping you to face the things you’re resisting. We held a webinar every month, including with some incredible guest teachers, and the community continues to come together to support each other.

  • Fearless Mastery 2024 deeper round: This year, my deepest program, ​Fearless Mastery​, went even deeper. Instead of 5 months, we did a 9-month round, where people committed to creating something out of their comfort zone. It brought up everyone’s patterns, and we worked with these patterns to create transformation. It was freaking beautiful! There are ​still some spots open in Fearless Mastery 2025, come join us​!

  • Zen Habits Podcast Seasons 2 & 3: Last year, I launched the ​Zen Habits Podcast​ … and this year, I created two new seasons of the podcast! I’m not sure if I can keep doing 2 seasons a year but I’m having so much fun creating them. Thanks to everyone who listened, subscribed and emailed me about the episodes that you found valuable. It means a lot to me.

  • London Retreat: In April, we held a retreat in an oasis of calm in the middle of bustling London, and it was profound. I really loved every person who came and brought their purposeful intentions and willingness to deepen into practice.

  • Printed my grandma’s book: Last year, I finished the manuscript on a book about my now 95-year-old grandmother … this year, I finally put it into layout form and printed it out for family members. It was a project that took me 5 years to complete but it was so meaningful.

  • Continued focus on fitness & health: I turned 51 this year, and have embraced my 6th decade as a place of getting myself into the best health possible. I celebrate my aging body, and I’ve been loving running, working out, playing basketball, and learning new skills. I’ve evolved my diet and am taking my health to a new level. It’s so much fun.

What a year.
