Tiny Habits: The Small Changes That Change Everything

The Tiny Habits method is nothing short of brilliant, effective and transformative. I have been a huge fan of BJ Fogg's work and am thrilled that he has shared his methods in a book. Much needed. I have used his methods for almost 2 years now - it is easy and works. I love that he has shared a methodology that doesn't require motivation and doesn't have to be hard. Big changes, less effort, super effective - exactly how I like change to be. The method is simple but it is evident it has depth of thinking and insights from years of experience and experimenting in the space.I have used it for weight loss, building habits for better relationships (personal and professional) and safety habits to name a few. This is a life changing skill to develop. Read it, apply it and reap the benefits.

I took Dr. BJ Fogg's Tiny Habits online program back in December 2011, the second week he offered it. I became hooked; I was able to nail a habit (tooth flossing) in 3 days that I had failed to do during the previous 10 years, which transformed my life and made my dentist ecstatic. I've sustained that habit and adopted countless other habits, which have improved my well-being and productivity. My interest in habits blossomed, and I became a Tiny Habits coach as well as studied the neuroscience of habits as a research project for an executive masters project.Even if you've read other habit books -- and there are many right now -- you need to read BJ's Tiny Habits if you want to learn a simple, scientifically sound, and reliable way to build new habits, sustain them, and start to make other positive changes in your life. BJ's book is so valuable because his work lays the foundation that others have adapted for their self-help books. In his book, BJ shares his recipe for habits, explains the process and gives background information in detail. And because he's a scientist and teacher, the material is grounded and clear. Also, his focus is on behavior change, including sharing individuals' stories of the positive changes people have made in their lives.And don't forget the Appendixes! They are worth a close read as they include several pages of recipes for habits, tips on behavior design, and other goodies too.Many of us have been wanting this book for a long time, and BJ came through!

i have followed BJFogg since 5 years ago. Some of the personal development gurus like James Clear, Leo Babauta, Nir Eyal followed and talked about his method but BJ is "the Creator". I am a sales trainer, human changer coach and happy dad. I want a challenge for you. Choose one area of your life to want to go deeper this year. Define 3 tiny habits that help you with it and do this tiny habits during 90 days, then tell me if you are the same people or reinvent yourself in this area almost automatic way. You need to start your reinvention with this book right now for your best 2020 ever

Tiny Habits will completely change how you think about change.BJ Fogg's Tiny habits method gets results quickly. Notably it makes behavior change remarkably easy - and even fun. Don't let the emphasis on 'Tiny' fool you. It's a truly transformational resource.Studies show that about 45% of our behavior comes from our habits. BJ Fogg's work provides a way to be more intentional about our habits and design the behaviors we want. You'll learn a valuable life 'master skill' from this book.What I especially loved about this book is that it explains the Tiny Habits method clearly and breaks it down into a three-step actionable process. And it also provides a window into the two decades + of research on behavioral design that is at the core of it. The book has outstanding graphics that show how behavioral design works so you come away with a solid understanding of the key concepts and tools beyond the Tiny Habits method.In addition to the the models and research, some of the most interesting parts of the book come from the stories of how people have used the Tiny Habits method to make big changes over time. The author shares his personal experiences and struggles at times as he developed habits of his own. And there are numerous examples from his Tiny Habits Academy coaching clients ("Habiteers") and stories of how they have used Tiny Habits to make changes in their lives. There are also compelling examples of how some of the author's' students at Stanford have applied The Fogg Behavior Model over the years in the business arena.With most books, Appendixes are an afterthought - at best. Not here. They are a goldmine.The models and methods are laid out elegantly for easy reference. There's a quick guide on how to design a Tiny Habits recipe, along with examples of how to use celebrations and positive emotion to wire in new behaviors. Best of all, the Appendixes include 200 sample recipes for Tiny Habits across different life situations, such as for working Moms, caregivers, active older adults, people who work from home and college students. There are sample recipes for common challenges such as strengthening key relationships, reducing stress, staying focused, cultivating brain health and even for stopping habits you want to lose.In my personal use of Tiny Habits and in my professional work with it as a coach, the biggest lesson I've learned is how versatile the Tiny Habits method is. If you're looking to make changes in any aspect of your life or work - small or big - starting with Tiny Habits is a wise move.

We bought this set after my three-year old granddaughter was gifted a similar set referred to as ‘sea mermaids’. The sea mermaid eggs were evidently too pooped to participate. Try as we might, we were never able to coax them to hatch and staring at the plain water day by day was no fun at all. That’s when I turned to Amazon and purchased the Sea Monkey Magiquarium and I am so glad I did!Delivery was prompt - which was a bonus as my granddaughter was quite disappointed after the aforementioned sea mermaid fiasco. We followed the directions very carefully and within a couple days were able to view tiny black specks in the water (using the magnification portholes of course)! In about a week you could view those critters with the naked eye.I was entranced by the sheer number of magnification portholes available for our voyeuristic enjoyment of our family’s new pets. While the magnification qualities of plastic vs. glass always makes plastic a second choice, we were all readily able to see just how rapidly our robust little sea creatures were growing! I suppose that it must have been disturbing to the tiny creatures below to see an enormous human eyeball gawking at them from above, but regardless I think the addition of the magnification porthole on the top lid of the tank was a stroke of genius!You get a whole new perspective of the living conditions of these miniscule creatures with their insatiable appetites, raw aquatic athleticism and relentless copulation. I must admit, there are often times when we have to shield the Magiquarium from my young granddaughter's eyes as these tiny creatures are astonishingly amorous! Someone compared them to love-struck langostinos which is pretty accurate. One mature female actually succumbed from being constantly romanced by multiple beaus - that was tragic. However, we did scoop her out and provide her with a respectful burial at sea via our indoor plumbing.It has also been so much fun to see them grow up and take on individual personalities of their own. Unlike the advertised royal sea monkey wearing a crown, our crop of sea monkeys seem to be wearing hand-me-down overalls and straw hats but is just as happy. We just cannot say enough how much we are enjoying our Magiquarium!

This is my second Sea Monkey's tank. I love them and I did a little research after my first batch died after a couple of months. Here's what I found out, and I'm doing this and I'm seeing such a positive difference!1. The Sea Monkey's do not like to be cleaned out. According to the reading I've done, they really love to eat on the algae, and when I cleaned my tank, even used purified water they died after a few days. I was sad but I now know better.2. Sea Monkey's love salt water. Not regular table salt, but it has to be sea salt. When you're adding your water and your #1 pack of water purifier, you need to also add to that water 1 & 1/2 teaspoons of sea salt, (per 1 and 1/3 C of purified water) then lightly stir and let that water set for about 24 hours before adding in your #2 pack of eggs.3. Wait 5 days before you feed them. After all, they are barely hatched and aren't ready to be fed till the 5th day. After that, once per week. If you overfeed, it'll kill them as it takes away their oxygen.6. Add air to them. This kit doesn't come with a pipette, but that's the easiest to use. Simply put it in the water and add air bubbles without sucking any of the little guys out. I think an eye dropper will do, but pipettes are very easy to find. I try to add air bubbles in each day, they seem to like it and with the sea salt and everything I have learned to do, it's made a huge difference. Matter of fact I might get a 3rd tank. They are fun, cheap to keep, and I love how the tanks are small. I can have them sitting in my bedroom near the window. They seem to be growing so much better now too!Have fun!

Super nostalgic! & my sea monkeys are very BIG now!

They are a great dorm room pet. They are super easy to set up, only need to be fed once a week and do not smell or make a mess. Word of caution though , do not spill the container, the fate of my sea monkeys was tragic because I was clumsy

SO EXCITED! I did a sea monkeys “experiment” as a kid back in 2004 and thought it was the coolest thing ever. My little sister is turning 18 and I’m buying her music producing equipment and a laptop and software and had to remind her she’s still a kid at heart and what better way than to give her the experience and curiosity I had as a kid? LolThank you and I’m so glad sea monkeys is still a thing! The packaging is even the same since 2004!Big W for sea monkeys 💞So happy

At first my seamonkeys died but now they are flourishing and one is pregnant! Very easy to take care of. At almost 30 I'm fascinated by them, so your kids should be too lol.

Great homeschool activity for pre k. I’ve been looking for something interactive during this quarantine for my 4 year old. We watched some videos on sea monkeys the day we got it in the mail and got the water ready which took 24 hours. We made a calendar and marked the days that we needed to add each step and marked what we saw each day. It’s been super fun. Be aware that they will mate and there will be tiny baby sea monkeys added regularly.... which I didn’t know until after we got them. I’m wondering if we are going to need a bigger tank??? But worth the price

Absolutely useless. Got it as a Covid activity. Followed the directions but nothing hatched even now it's been sitting there for a month and kaput. My kid was really disappointed. Do not recommend at all unless you want to bum your kids out during this quarantine.

B.J. Fogg is a genius. I’ve followed him for years. I did his tiny habit program, back when he did it himself. I’m surprised he didn’t write a book earlier, but it was worth the wait! I’m 44, I’ve always hated flossing, and now I’m a daily flosser. It was so easy with BJ’s methods. I LOVED the examples of tiny habits at the end! Thank you, BJ!I’m using his strategies to break habits and that’s working too.This is one to buy and have on your shelf. Books like these are more like reference books to me. I like to have a hard copy to refer to diagrams and revisit as needed.

With its appealing two-color layout, bite-size chapters and real-life examples, it is an easy read. And, yes, this method works! I came across Tiny Habits many years ago online. I tried the free coaching and after two or so go-arounds, things began to click for me. I was so fascinated by it that I took the TH coaching training and became a certified coach. I am thrilled the book is out now and we can go to the source of this scientifically validated method.The book teaches you how to make subtle changes with huge and lasting effects on your life. Whether you are looking to change a health habit, improve your relationships, or deepen your learning of any subject, Tiny Habits will indeed help you succeed.And by the way, I have now flossed my teeth for two years without missing a single day and I don't even think about it.

This is exactly what I wanted and good quality!

Great quality!

Bought it for surfing & hikingGreat sun protection - no redness / sunburn or noticeable tanning after hours of direct sun exposureHowever sweat can’t go out so it becomes very hot, maybe because of the UPF layer so not very suitable for hiking in hot weather. Works perfectly for surfing/water sports thoHand washed it everyday after wearing at night and it drys overnight so haven’t had a problem of wearing it next day!Sizing: runs small on me. I’m usually a S or M if want loose fit, but had to exchange for Large on this one. Material is very stretchy so I could fit into S and M but they were too tight and feels limitingColor: didn’t like the white one - looks to cold and just not good. The black one is perfectly fine

looks great on my wife...and fits great too

Zipper broke after 3 washes!

Fits well but does not dry quickly. If I kept it on, I would’ve gotten sick. I’ve had better rashguards that actually dry up quickly.

I went diving with sharks and wore it and it worked perfect!

This book is VERY good. One of the best nonfiction books I've ever read (I’ve lost count, probably over 1,000 books).It doesn't change the fact that there are some cons, and as usual, I'll start with them.CONS1. The FlawThe main con of the book is a piece of absolute, utter hogwash that simply doesn't fit this awesome book. One of the chapters is titled "Emotions Build Habits."In the very same chapter there is a sentence:"For too long people have believed the old myth that repetition creates habits."BJ Fogg champions the idea that your attitude is more important than consistency. And he does it in an ugly style, which is another con.I know where he comes from. Millions of people have forced themselves to follow some diet for a month or a quarter-year, and then they abandoned it and never came back. Repetitions alone don't create a habit. But tens of millions of people have felt very excited about changing their habits, didn't force themselves, weren't consistent, and ended up without a habit in the exact same way.Repetitions alone aren't a silver bullet. Emotions alone aren't a silver bullet either.In fact, Fogg contradicts himself, teaching his readers in the next chapter to rehearse their tiny habits. If repetitions don't build a habit, why rehearse? You should just "feel good" about the idea of having a habit and it will magically form. Sheesh!I found an ideal sentence describing what the author meant, the one which I agree 101% with:"Emotions make behavior more automatic."This is the main focus of this chapter, and deriding repetitions, tracking, and streaks was a huge mistake and throwing the baby out with the bathwater.2. ZealotryI don't think any author is free of this. BJ Fogg’s ideas are truly brilliant, but stating some utterances like they are dogma tickles me in a bad way.I noticed it only once in the book, but it left a foul taste. It was in the fragment about repetitions:"Some of today's popular habit bloggers still talk about repetition or frequency as the key. Just know this: They are recycling old ideas. They have not done groundbreaking research."Throwing the baby out with the bathwater and pretending it's a good thing to commit.First, this paragraph was totally unnecessary. Second, in my ears "groundbreaking research" equals inerrancy and people who haven't done such research are inferior. How come?Those “popular bloggers” don't just spill their words on the internet. They write from experience. I’ve coached over 100 people in habit formation, and I did it according to BJ Fogg's model. Repetition works. Period.Then you can add some qualifiers: that it doesn't work alone or that if your emotions are working against you it's very hard to create a habit despite repetitions.But in general, repetitions work, hence the author's own advice to rehearse your habits.Don't get me wrong. You may think after this con that the author is some kind of self-righteous monster. That's far from the truth. BJ Fogg is an awesome guy. I've been following him for years.His accomplishments are undeniable.He has great bragging rights.I simply say belittling others is not his style and it doesn't fit this awesome book. The same with fighting timeless concepts that have been proven to work in practice countless times.3. CelebrationThis is my biggest takeaway from the whole book. I bought Tiny Habits to repay BJ Fogg for his awesome job.I've already studied the concept of tiny habits. I went through his free course with success. I've been writing about his concepts for several years. Apart from very interesting stories about the author and his clients and students, there was nothing new in the book for me.Except for celebration, that is.I mean, when I did the Tiny Habits course a few years ago, I read about celebration and I discounted it. I never truly implemented this element into my habit development or my coaching. Big mistake.Why did I put it as a con? Because it's articulated in the book only halfway into it!!What is more, the author is clearly aware of the importance of featuring this tip:"I would train you in celebrations before teaching you about the Fogg Behavior Model, or the power of simplicity, or Anchors, or recipes for Tiny Habits."So, why the heck didn't he?!?!BJ Fogg knows it's important. For a habit expert like me, it's the biggest takeaway. And he hid this feature in the middle of the book.4. TypoThe last con is on the publisher. English is not my first language. I'm unaware of most grammatical errors. I usually am not annoyed by a few typos here and there. I'm an author, and I know how close to impossible it is to eliminate all typos from a manuscript.That is, until I read "bestto" in a Kindle book for which I paid almost $17! And I know that a poor author won't get even $5 of it because he is robbed by a traditional publisher whose products are so perfect, and so above the "poor quality" self-publishers' books (like 5x above, as their prices are).C'mon! My word processor noticed this typo! Drop the price to a reasonable level, or do the perfect job you are paid for.Rant over! Sorry.==========If you've thought for a moment that the above cons make Tiny Habits hardly readable or the book is not so good, that's a wrong impression.I wrote in such length about cons because I deeply care about this book's success. It is absolutely fantastic. And here are the reasons that make it so:PROS1. Fogg Behavior ModelThis is a brilliant concept, and it deserves to be taught in primary school. In the first grade of primary school.It's simple. It's intuitive. It isn't an academic theory, but it describes reality because it is based on observations more than on ruminations.The chart of the model and several sentences explaining how it works are worth the price of the book, and the typo be damned.2. Covers All the AnglesTiny Habits tells the whole story of habits, from underlying principles of repeating the behavior to breaking bad habits and group cooperation in developing new habits.This is the MOST complete book about habits I've read, and I read them all.Read this book and you will learn how people actually change their behavior, why it makes tremendous sense to start small rather than big, how to grow your tiny habits into massive action, and how those small activities will result in huge results in the end.I love this book! It says all I've been trying to convey to the public for years. It also says it very well. The explanations are easy to grasp. Tiny Habits is very well written. Which is the next pro...3. StoriesI was totally impressed by the way BJ has woven stories of his students into the principles he teaches. I barely can tell where teaching ends and a story starts.And all the stories are amazingly powerful. BJ has taught tens of thousands of people how to develop habits; he could cherry-pick some that make your head spin and your heart rate climb.Powerful. Encouraging. Hope-giving. Authentic.BJ Fogg has done something extraordinary in this book. He’s connected miniscule daily actions with big life transformations. What we mostly see in media are the stories of great deeds: losing 100 pounds in three months, creating a six-figure company in less than six months, etc. Tiny daily activities simply don't connote with enormous transformations.Until you read Tiny Habits. Utilizing the stories is at the master level here.4. RepetitiveRepetition is the mother of learning.Repetition is the mother of learning.Repetition is the mother of learning.BJ Fogg seems to know this very well. There is a lot of iterative repetitions of everything he teaches in the book.Yet, it's not annoying at all. I noticed the repetition often, especially in the charts and images illustrating the process, but it didn't bother me one bit. I'm impressed.5. PersonalI hate the guts of most traditionally published books. They are bland, tailored to speak to a general audience, and...bland.Tiny Habits is not so. The author wasn't castrated out of his voice. BJ Fogg shares in by-the-way matters that he is gay at the very beginning of the book. He shares plenty of smaller stories from his life related to habit building and behavior design. I enjoyed those tidbits a lot.But he also shares the deeply personal story of his nephew’s suicide and his family dynamics.So, a reader can not only learn from practical applications of his model and tiny habit framework from his example, but can relate to him on a personal level.Tiny Habits is a lot of things, but it's not bland.6. Group SettingAnother unique trait of Tiny Habits is that it teaches how to create new habits in a group setting—in a family, company, or team. In the same methodical way in which the author explains how to build individual habits, he also explains how you can help others change.What is more, he describes two paths: the path of a Ringleader and the path of a Ninja. The Ringleader is a person with the authority to lead others (father, CEO, manager, coach, and so on).But when people resist the change despite your formal authority or if you are not a person in power, you can still help others by walking the Ninja path. Which, by the way, I found very helpful. Most people hiss at the sound of the word "change" like a devil at the sight of holy water.SummaryTiny Habits is so good that I cannot properly articulate it. Just ignore the one idiocy that emotions build habits and repetitions don't, and you can absorb the rest with your whole mind and soul.This is the book that explains everything about habits.This is the book that teaches you the simplest system.This is the book that makes your personal changes not only possible, but totally doable.This is the book that inspires you to take bold (but tiny!) action.This is the book that helps you feel successful from day one.This is the book.

I've always been a very undisciplined person. In fact, I've been trying to "overcome my bad habits" for 60 years, including reading every book about habits I could find. Atomic Habits had been my favorite, but it was so complicated, I couldn't pull it off. Well, this book has finally helped me figure out how to do it! B.J. Fogg is officially my hero. I did the exercises as I read the book and by the time I was finished, I was getting up earlier and actually jumping out of bed, doing a Yoga routine before bed and using that teeth-whitener that I had bought 8 months earlier but never used. Since then, I've started exercising every day, drinking more water (I was drinking a 2-ltr diet Dr. Pepper a day), and sending several thank you cards a week, all habits I've wanted to create for years and years. Each week I add 3 more habits, but I can easily continue the ones I've been working on. I just can't believe how easy and fun it has been for me! This book is incredible!

Unfortunately, now we have a class of individuals , who are taught they are capable of greatness with no roadmap. They are the recipients of the participation trophy. It is bad not because they participated, but because that is the limits of their horizons.Tiny habits allows for “ shine “. These parents foster mediocrity. I believe as does the Author that to whom much has been given, much is expected! It is a parental duty to ascertain and perhaps guide.This book doesn’t and I believe shouldn’t address core principals. It is a change primer. What principles are to be aspired to is an individual, parent, religion guided aspiration.This book demonstrates a process. It is a way of approaching behaviors, not a bible on values. The author correctly asserts the lessons can be used for good or ill. Use it wisely. It is individually focused. You do not need politicians or unlimited resources.Read the book! It is not a time waster, but should present the reader with possibilities.

You won't be the same person after you read this book. It has made me more efficient, effective, and in control of my life. Things I now do regularly because of what I learned from Dr. Fogg: exercise daily (every day unless I have a major illness), floss daily, take my vitamins, and put on sun screen... It's so empowering.

I discovered Tiny Habits several years ago and followed BJ’s methods to start new habits. They worked. First time ever that I actually got results from a book. I was so interested that I became certified in the Tiny Habits methodology and subsequently a certified coach through the Human Potential Institute.

Tiny Habits is a culmination of Dr. Fogg's research in his lab at Stanford University. Now associated with the Medical School at Stanford University, Dr. Fogg continues his research and validation of the material found in this book. One of my most widely used reference books and easy to read.

I loved these sellers! They had prompt perfect delivery and the book is in perfect shape! Thank you!

So far I’m about halfway through the book; it was great to start, but it just keeps getting more complicated! My eyes just started to glaze over after awhile and I read a lot! I think for me there was too much going on and the farther I got the more difficult it became. There are some good ideas, but it should have been a lot shorter and simpler!

Finally something practical for someone who wants to be better. I’m planning to keep this book. Reread it so I can applied the teachings found in this book. Thanks B.J. Fogg for being honest and sharing. Best of luck to you.

If you are serious, ready and willing to do the work to transform an area of your life, this book will get you there. A must read!

I think this book would be inspirational for all ages young and old!

I like the idea of starting out with small changes that look quite doable to build self-confidence.

Very little taste which is nice. Nobody need a vitamin that tastes bad. These vitamins are minis meaning they are a more normal size not big and hard to swallow. However, the dosage is 2 a day so 300 last 5 months not 10.

Excellent formula also found in central silver now in a smaller capsule with less filler.. I'm not sure I can evaluate it except to say that I have taken these vitamins for many years and they seem to work fine to protect my health. A great value especially compared to the brand name

Love the smaller size of these multivitamins. Much easier to swallow.

Needed a multivitamin and the price was right.

Good choice for the older man.

This was exactly as expected. And well worth the money. Very economable.

Tengo síndrome de mala absorción, sin un imprescindible en mi alimentación.

I haven't actually opened these 4 boxes yet. But I have the same pills in a bigger bottle that isn't used up yet. What I like about them is that they're small and easy to swallow.
