Short summary

Do you seek to change? Are there habits you want to develop or drop? Do you have behavioral patterns you want to pick up? Then, start tiny by perhaps reading this summary to the end. “Tiny Habits” results from extensive myth-breaking and persuasive research on habits and human behavior by the behavioral scientist and doctor BJ Fogg. In this summary, he teaches industry innovators how human behavior works. You’ll find out what inspires your habitual behavior, as well as how to cultivate new habits to create a better life. BJ Fogg, Ph.D., is the founder of the Behavior Design Lab at Stanford University. He created the Tiny Habits Academy to help people around the world. “Building habits and creating positive change can be easy if you have the right approach.” ~ BJ Fogg, Ph.D.

When it comes to change, less is more

Listen the first key point

Many of us believe something is wrong with us when our results fall short of expectations. We often blame ourselves for failures and push to do better. However, we are not always the problem — our approach to change is. It is not a personal flaw but a design flaw.
Acknowledge successes no matter how tiny they are because they help you grow.
Popular thinking about habit formation and change feeds into our impulse to set unrealistic expectations. As opposed to these popular opinions, building habits and creating positive change can be easy — with the right approach. To successfully form habits and command a change, you need to do three things:
• Stop judging yourself
• Take your aspirations and break them down into tiny behaviors
• Accept mistakes as discoveries and use them to move forward

The most imperative of these steps is taking off self–criticism. You change best by feeling good, not bad.

Self–criticism and self–doubts often pull you back from making real progress by making you feel bad. However, if you follow the tiny habits process, you’ll be well on your way to easily and joyfully bridging the gap between who you are and that person you want to be. Keep reading to find out how to increase positive habits that lead to change in your life.
Starting tiny means you can start making a big change without worrying about the time involved. ~ BJ Fogg, Ph.D.
second key point

Creating tiny positive habits is the path to developing bigger ones

One problem humans face is that of time; there is never enough time. We always feel so pressed for time that we have a scarcity mindset. This mindset makes us say no to changes as we feel like we don’t have the time to cultivate new habits. 30 minutes of exercise a day seems too much. Writing daily in a journal sounds amazing, but you don’t have that time.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

An excellent concept, executed well. Headway can help you retain what you've read while introducing you to the essential core of new information. It's an easier way to stay inspired, and to be reminded of the mental tools you've learned

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
