Why People Around The World Are Talking About This\u00a0Book<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tiny Habit: The Small Changes That Change Everything<\/em><\/a>is a New York Times bestselling book by the world’s leading expert on habit formation, BJ Fogg<\/a>. The book shows how you can have a happier, healthier life: by starting small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As the blurb<\/a> outlines, \u201cWhen it comes to change, tiny is mighty. Start with two pushups a day, not a two-hour workout; or five deep breaths each morning rather than an hour of meditation. In Tiny Habits<\/em>, B.J. Fogg brings his experience coaching more than 40,000 people to help you lose weight, de-stress, sleep better, or achieve any goal of your choice. You just need Fogg\u2019s behavior formula: make it easy, make it fit your life, and make it rewarding. Whenever you get in your car, take one yoga breath. Smile. Whenever you get in bed, turn off your phone. Give yourself a high five. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Change can be easy\u200a\u2014\u200aonce it starts, it grows. Let B.J. Fogg show you exactly how.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s why this book has taken the world by storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe vision of the future may be a few years away , but the good news is that we can start cultivating a culture of change right now.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Fogg Behavior Model is a brilliant concept, and it deserves to be taught in primary school. In the first grade of primary school,\u201d says reviewer Michal Stawicki<\/a> from Poland. \u201cTiny Habits<\/em> tells the whole story of habits, from underlying principles of repeating the behavior to breaking bad habits and group cooperation in developing new habits.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou just need Fogg\u2019s behavior formula: make it easy, make it fit your life, and make it rewarding,\u201d writes<\/a> reviewer Maria Dismondy<\/a>. \u201cWhenever you get in your car, take one yoga breath. Smile. Whenever you get in bed, turn off your phone. Give yourself a high five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to<\/a> readers Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat<\/a>, \u201cThe information in the book fascinating and eminently practical, especially the chapters on motivation and prompts. The author succeeds in reframing change as something to be embraced and celebrated. The 300 recipes for 15 life situations and challenges are worth the price of the entire book.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lynnette Simpson<\/a> talks about this<\/a> on LinkedIn, \u201cThe book is thorough and meant to be a step-by-step guide to help you craft new behaviors, stop unwanted behaviors, and influence others\u2019 habits. The examples, stories, and exercises ensure that the reader has ample opportunities to digest and apply the principles of tiny habits.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n No wonder Tiny Habits<\/em> has been touted as one of the most effective self-help books ever. As reviewer Tara McCoy writes<\/a>, \u201cFogg combines these steps into a framework called a \u201cTiny Habit Recipe\u201d. Use this to create a behavioral recipe for your desired habit. The basic format for a tiny habit recipe is: If (prompt), then I will (new tiny behavior). Then you celebrate. <\/em><\/strong>Don\u2019t stress that your tiny habit is not the full, ideal version of the habit. Fogg reminds us that these \u201ctiny habits\u201d are simply habit seeds. Once we plant them by consistently doing the small version of the habit, the behavior is able to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
