“Success isn't always loud — sometimes, it looks like a quiet daily rebellion.”

What if changing the world and yourself didn’t require grand revolutions, but small rebellious habits practiced daily?
5 Killer Habits, Be a Rebel is not just another self-help book. It’s a wake-up call to stop sleepwalking through default routines and start choosing habits aligned with your biology, purpose and soul. If you’re tired of doing what everyone else is doing, this book gives you a blueprint to do things differently.
The 5 Rebel Habits That Redesign Your Life:

  1. Wake Up Early (But on Your Terms) We all love the idea of the 5 AM Club because who doesn’t like to wake up with a high spirit and a clear mind. Greeting the sun, having more time to plan, execute and start the day with energy. But science reminds us not everyone is wired the same. Research from Catholic University of Milan (Giampietro & Cavallera, 2007) suggests “evening types” are naturally better at unconventional thinking and non-conformity. So the goal isn’t to copy someone else’s clock, it’s to own your mornings, even if that morning starts later. Create an intentional start that includes reflection, silence, or planning, not just scrolling.
  2. Volunteering — The Quietest Act of Rebellion In a world obsessed with profit and productivity, giving without expecting returns is radical. Although volunteering itself has indirect returns, UPSC topper Kannan Gopinathan credits his volunteer experience with developing real-world clarity that no textbook could give. Volunteering makes you grounded, emotionally intelligent, and socially aware, traits most “successful” people lack today. Volunteering is like a boomerang “if it goes around, it’ll come around”.
  3. Be a Dromomaniac (Fall in Love with Exploring) The book introduces dromomania, the irresistible urge to wander and explore. Travelling, even to places near you, expands your understanding of inequality, culture, ideologies and life beyond your own bubble. Staying put keeps you comfortable, but stepping out makes you conscious. No evolution has come without movement, whether it be physical or psychological.
  4. Build a Deep Reading Habit Books allow you to live a thousand lives. Since experience, whether our own or of others, always has something to teach. But reading is pointless if it doesn’t change how you think, act and implement. The habit here isn’t reading for aesthetics, but for transformation. Highlight, pause, question, disagree, engage with books to grow both intellectually and emotionally.
  5. Stay Curious (Even When It’s Inconvenient) “Curiosity killed the cat” but “why was the cat killed”. The final rebel habit is to never stop asking “why?” Our opinions are usually borrowed from religion, culture, or society. Curiosity helps you strip those layers and think for yourself. You don’t need to abandon your roots, you just need to evolve beyond blind belief. Since the cat wasn’t killed by curiosity itself, but the discomfort it caused. Let the curious cat meow anyway, for every meow is the seed of progress, the beginning of discovery and spark of change. Ready to Join the Rebellion? This book won’t promise you overnight success.
