StoryShots Book Summary and Review of Tiny Habits: The Small Changes That Change Everything by BJ Fogg

Introduction

Have you ever wanted to change a habit but never quite got around to it? It can be hard to change your life. You might feel you're too busy, or that what you want to do is too great a challenge. But even small changes can have a big impact on your life and they don't have to take long.

Fogg shows the power of breaking down your goal into tiny behaviors. These tiny behaviors can help you achieve your goals and dreams. Fogg's behavior formula shows you can achieve significant changes by starting small. You can create habits that are good for you and help you live a more balanced life full of positive energy.

Tiny Habits is a culmination of BJ Fogg’s 20 years of human behavior research at Stanford University. He learned that there are only three things that will change your behavior eventually. You can easily control only two of these three. First, you can change your environment. Second, you can engage in tiny behaviors. Tiny Habits shows how humans cannot put in place healthy habits like a new diet or regular exercise. But you can solve these problems by focusing on things you can control. 

"[BJ's] groundbreaking research is finally accessible to a public eager to change their behaviors and, by extension, their lives." - Brad Lauster, former director of product design at Weight Watchers
