“I love this book! It presents powerful, profound and insightful ideas with absolute clarity. It suggests realistic changes that you can make, starting today, to live a happier, healthier and more fulfilled life. The changes are straightforward to implement, and the author draws on his own personal experiences, in addition to those of his family and friends, to explain the rationale behind the suggestions, reinforcing the messages effectively and motivating you to make the changes. All of this is achieved with making you feel as if you are being lectured, or that you deficient in some way. Instead, you feel as if the author really cares about you and your life. I highly recommend the book, and the strategies it presents.” – Sinéad Vaughan

“This book literally changed my life. I just finished reading 12 Key Habits to Thrive by Jonathan Roche and I have to tell you that this book delivers what the title promises.

I have read dozens of books and attended dozens of seminars in an effort to improve my health and my business and the way I walk through this life and I had achieved great things. On my journey I was lucky enough to cross paths with Jonathan and begin a weekly coaching program with him almost 5 years ago. I have learned and grown more than I could ever imagine in that time.

When I heard about this book, I was afraid that he could not possibly pack all of that wisdom and knowledge and practical applications of personal development and achievement into one book. I am completely blown away that he has been able to distill it down to a point where it is easy to read and just as easy to implement with links to action items and further information so that it becomes an almost interactive experience.

Coaching with Jonathan has truly changed my life and with this book I am thrilled to be able to share this incredible knowledge with people I love and do business with so that they can all thrive. I will be placing my initial order of 2 dozen books to share with my tribe as soon as I can.” – Hans Bruhner

"I’m so glad Jonathan has put his extensive expertise into a book. With his online coaching program, I have lost 35 lbs. and kept it off. Surprisingly though, this is not the only reason I would recommend this book. Rather than just another exercise program, Jonathan’s coaching addresses the whole person and confronts many of the pitfalls that can sabotage success. Jonathan genuinely wants you to live your best life and has enough experience to help you do that. In the end, you have to become your own head coach, but Jonathan equips you with the tools to do that and THRIVE.” - Adrianne Hanson

“12 Key Habits to Thrive provides a powerful action guide toward individual peak performance. Drawing from the wisdom of proven experts, coaches, and his personal experience Jonathan offers an achievable action plan. His integrated approach is easily understood and applicable to any life goal, customizable by each reader. Read this book and restart the path toward your dreams today.” – Steve Fullmer

“If I were to rename this worthwhile book by Jonathan Roche, I would retitle the volume, Thrive in Life-How To. Jonathan presents strategies to develop the habits he established to thrive in life so that others can follow them on their journeys to their best versions of themselves. The processes are not complex and reveal how winning the mental game helps individuals win the health game. Throughout the book, Jonathan shares insights and compassion as he supports his readers in committing to and following through learning how to thrive and become the best versions of themselves. The content and its organization make reading this volume definitely worth your time.” - Diane Wittig

“In his 12 Key Habits to Thrive, Jonathan Roche exquisitely refines his two decades of work of assisting his coaching clients to move forward toward their true potential through the implementation of concise steps which create a vibrant mindset.

“12 Key Habits to Thrive was so easy to read. This is a book that is for everyone, no matter where you are in life there is room for improvement and Jonathan gives you the tools to thrive. The very first chapter gripped my attention as I realized I wasn't feeding my positive voice. I have heard, and thought, I was working on my voice choice but now I realize I was spending too much time with my negative voice, giving it time and space in my head. Instead I need to feed my positive voice and it will get stronger and replace the negative voice. I took notes as I read the rest of the book and I can not wait to get my physical book so I can read it again and make notes and highlight the parts that really speak to me. I have been following Jonathan for over 6 years and he is so inspiring.” – Robin Richey
