Mini Habits
Smaller Habits, Bigger Results
Book • 2013
In 'Mini Habits: Smaller Habits, Bigger Results,' Stephen Guise introduces a unique approach to building healthy habits.
The book advocates for starting with 'stupid small' steps that are too easy to fail, thereby leveraging the brain's natural tendency to form habits through repetition.
Guise explains that by focusing on small daily actions, individuals can bypass the limitations of motivation and willpower, leading to significant and lasting changes in areas such as exercise, reading, writing, and more.
The book provides practical advice on how to implement these mini habits, including defining habit cues, creating reward plans, and writing down goals.
