CHAPTER 1: WHY SMALL HABITS 
CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE
When it comes to success, many people are 
focused on the wrong thing. They focus on 
the end goal versus the journey it takes to 
get there, and believe big decisions will get 
them to their final destination. However, this 
couldn’t be further from the truth.

MEASURE OF HABITS
Results in life are a measure of habits. 
The net worth of a person is simply a 
measure of their financial habits, 
similarly, a person’s health is a measure 
of their daily habits of diet exercise.

CHAPTER 2: HOW HABITS 
ARE FORMED
How many times do you begin a good 
habit, like exercise or meditation, only to 
find that after a few days or weeks it’s 
only become a real hassle? Habits are a 
challenge to change because many 
people try to change them the wrong 
way or try to change the wrong things.

CHAPTER 3: MAKE IT 
OBVIOUS
When it comes to cues, such as the buzzing 
of our phone or the drinking of coffee, we 
are prompted to check our messages or 
brush our teeth. But once you understand 
how our actions can be influenced by 
certain stimuli, you can learn how to 
manipulate your cues to implement better 
habits.

CHAPTER 4: MAKE IT 
ATTRACTIVE
Every day we are bombarded with 
advertisements aimed at making clothing, 
food, home goods, anything more attractive. 
Society is filled with highly doctored versions 
of reality as we engineer our photographs 
with ideal lighting, photoshopped edits, and 
exaggerated features to make products more 
appealing and attractive to consumers.

CHAPTER 5: MAKE IT EASY
This concept can be applied to our 
habits as well. Often, people are too 
focused on figuring out the best 
approach so they never take action. 
They may research, plan, and 
strategize, but never act on the habits 
they wish to create.

CHAPTER 6: MAKE IT 
SATISFYING
The last step to making a long-term 
habit is to make it satisfying. Successful 
companies understand this concept and 
use it to their advantage. For example, 
toothpaste manufacturers saw great 
success when they added mint to their 
products.

IMPORTANCE OF HABIT 
TRACKING
Kicking a bad habit or implementing a 
good one can be hard. While it’s 
satisfying to make progress, 
sometimes that satisfaction is 
delayed, causing us to give up on 
those healthy habits.
