One Day at a Time · A year of daily wisdom, without the woo-woo

850 podcast episodes, boiled down to one page a day.

For anyone who feels behind, is trying to lose weight, change career or stop overthinking. One short story, one small thing to do, every day of 2027.

Scott Flear, who wrote the bookFrom the One Day at a Time podcast (850+ episodes) and the apps used by 100,000+ people.

The cover of One Day at a Time by Scott Flear: Turtle walks along a Welsh valley path towards the sunrise with Parrot on its back, past the Acropolis, Napoleon, a red dragon, Big Ben, a giant leek, a minibus and rugby posts.

Years ago I wrote one line to explain what I was trying to do: help people live in the present moment, without the woo-woo.

This is that book.

It’s everything I’ve learned, boiled down. Over 850 podcast episodes. Hundreds of pages of book notes. More than 10 years helping people with their health and fitness. Turtle Method and ParrotPal, the apps I built, have been used by more than 100,000 people. Businesses that worked and businesses that didn’t, built with no safety net. And jiu-jitsu, which I started from nothing at around 30, and built a business from.

Thousands of years of wisdom and my own mistakes, turned into practical advice in plain English. No woo-woo. A bit of banter, a bit of fun, and one small thing to do each day.
