When Survival Becomes Transformation
My journey with habits began during one of the most difficult moments of my life—a time when survival and transformation were not just goals, but necessities. Growing up in a post-Soviet country, I witnessed firsthand how people and society can rebuild from chaos.
A Personal Note
My name is Gregory Volis, and my journey with habits began during one of the most difficult moments of my life—a time when survival and transformation were not just goals, but necessities.
Today, my life is filled with gratitude and purpose. I am married to an amazing woman, father to three wonderful sons, and thankful for the chance to help others discover what I learned: true transformation is not just about motivation or willpower—it’s about understanding and applying the real science of positive change, every single day.
From Adversity to Scientific Discovery
Every day brought new uncertainty, social change, and a constant search for hope and direction. The world around me was filled with challenges, but also with the possibility for growth. My turning point came when I discovered the science of habit formation.
When Motivation Wasn’t Enough
While others relied on fleeting motivation, I immersed myself in groundbreaking research from Harvard Medical School, Stanford Behavior Lab, and MIT. I explored neuroplasticity, behavioral economics, and cognitive psychology—not as theory, but as powerful, practical tools for real transformation.

Every study, every insight became part of a system that would not only rebuild my life but also empower thousands of others to achieve lasting change. You can explore the complete scientific foundation in our Research Library, where I’ve compiled the most impactful studies.
Global Leadership Through Systematic Change
The habits that transformed my personal life became the foundation for extraordinary professional success. Leading hundreds of people across continents, I’ve applied habit science in high-pressure business environments from Europe to Asia to North America. I share these real-world applications and case studies in The Journal, where you can see how these principles work in practice.
Multicultural Proof of Concept
Working across cultures revealed the universal power of habits. Whether in Europe, Asia, or North America, the same scientific foundations apply—adapted for each unique context. This global insight ensures the methodology works for everyone, everywhere.
Real-World Applications
Leading turnaround projects in financial services, managing multicultural teams across three continents, and driving organizational change in companies with 1000+ employees. Each experience taught me how to scale scientific habit principles from individual growth to organizational excellence.
