This was a slow burn for me as I listened in sporadic chunks in between podcasts so not totally fair on the author but the book is easy to dip in and out of.
The author gives advice on how to effect change in your life by changing your habits and sticking to them. Sounds easy but the insane popularity of the book suggests that a lot of people find this very challenging.
I confess that I clicked on this during a free trial on Audible to see what all the fuss was about.
The low down for people unlikely to read or listen is that you should design your habits against a framework of “Four Laws of Behaviour Change”. Using this premise, habits should be Obvious, Attractive, Easy and Satisfying and reversing this to break bad habits.
The author does a good job of making this accessible and easy to digest with lots of real world relatable examples.
My favourite takeaways from the book are - the concept of habit stacking whereby you tack on a new habit to something that you already do habitually, the idea that little changes done consistently can have a big impact over time and the idea that we will adopt habits that work towards us becoming the person we want to be i.e. if you want to identify as a runner you’ll be more motivated to go running.
Ultimately, in my view, it all boils down to willpower and time management. If you want something badly enough you’ll do it and schedule time to keep doing it. The tips and tricks in this book are a useful guide to getting this process started and keeping it going.
