Super Short Summary

Tiny Habits: The Small Changes That Change Everything by B. J. Fogg is a self-improvement guide that demonstrates how making minute changes to one’s habits can result in significant life improvements. The Fogg Behavior Model, central to the book, asserts that behavior is driven by Motivation, Ability, and Prompts (B=MAP). By utilizing small, manageable habit changes and reinforcing them with positive rewards, individuals can effectively enhance their health, relationships, and professional success. The book includes exercises for practicing these techniques and an appendix with habit recipes, emphasizing how new habits can grow, multiply, and even be applied in group settings for broader societal impact.
