Insights from two leading researchers on building habits that last: dissected and reviewed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tiny Habits<\/em><\/a>, written by BJ Fogg, goes with the tag line: The Small Changes That Change Everything. <\/em>As the Goodreads blurb claims:<\/p>\n\n\n\n When 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Atomic Habits<\/em><\/a>, on the other hand, is written by James Clear and goes with the tag line: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones<\/em>. As the Goodreads blurb claims,<\/p>\n\n\n\n No matter your goals, Atomic Habits<\/em> offers a proven framework for improving\u200a\u2014\u200aevery day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Learn how to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Atomic Habits<\/em> will reshape the way you think about progress and success, and give you the tools and strategies you need to transform your habits\u200a\u2014\u200awhether you are a team looking to win a championship, an organization hoping to redefine an industry, or simply an individual who wishes to quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress or achieve any other goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both books cover about the same ground: how to build habits that stick. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Fogg discusses the B=MAP model<\/a> of behavioral science which states behavior is the result of motivation, ability, and prompts taken at the same time. This is a simple formula that can lead to incredible results. In other words, a behavior is a result of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Atomic Habits<\/em>, on the other hand, states that there are four elements to building habits that stick: cue, craving, response, and reward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Cues are the first step in a chain of action and act as the trigger for a routine. The craving comes when you think of a reward and your mind and body will you into action. The response is the way you perform the habit, and the reward is what you give yourself to celebrate every small victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The core idea of both the books is the same: real change isn\u2019t instantaneous. It comes from the compound effect of several small decisions carried out over time.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n However, the approach of the two books is a bit different. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Atomic Habits<\/em> delves more into being motivational.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tiny Habits<\/em>, on the other hand, discusses more about the psychology of creating habits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Coming straight from a pioneering research psychologist at Stanford, Tiny Habits<\/em> is a series of actionable steps you can apply right away to embrace better habits<\/a>. The author is a Silicon Valley legend, the founder of the iconic Behavior Design Lab at Stanford, and one of Fortune\u2019s \u201810 New Gurus You Should Know.\u2019 His expertise shines through in his work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n James Clear, touted as \u201cone of the world\u2019s leading experts on habit formation\u201d also has done an amazing job of breaking down habit-building into multiple steps. As Goodreads reviewer, Lily C puts it<\/a>, \u201cThis book lays out all the rules of changing\/developing habits in a simple, straightforward way and gets right to the point without a bunch of rambling and seemingly unrelated filler chapters like some other self-development books I\u2019ve read.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
