A discussion on the challenges of changing habits, including attempts to quit chewing gum, switch to decaf coffee, meditate daily, and learn to play an instrument. The chapter introduces BJ Fogg and his upcoming book, Tiny Habits.
Habits are notoriously hard to change—exercising more often, practising calmness, getting healthy—it all takes time and effort. So perhaps you’ll be pleased to know that there’s a way to get habits into your routine. We talk with Bernard Balleine, Director of the Decision Neuroscience Lab at UNSW; and with B J Fogg, founder of the Behaviour Design Lab at Stanford University about his new book Tiny Habits.
