Habit Stacking

Habit Stacking

By S.J. Scott

Want to improve your life? You don’t need drastic changes—you need small, smart ones. Habit stacking lets you piggyback new behaviors onto old routines. Brush your teeth?

The Slight Edge

Better Than Before: Mastering the Habits of Our Everyday Lives

Better Than Before: Mastering the Habits of Our Everyday Lives

By Gretchen Rubin

Habits are the invisible architecture of daily life. We repeat about 40 percent of our behavior almost daily, so our habits shape our existence and our future. If we change our habits, we change our lives. But that observation just raises the question: How do we change our habits? That's what this book seeks to answer. The secret to changing habits? First, we must know ourselves. Different strategies work for different people—in fact, what works for one person might directly conflict with what works for another.

The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business

The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business

By Charles Duhigg

When a habit emerges, the brain stops fully participating in decision making. It stops working so hard, or diverts focus to other tasks. Unless you deliberately fight a habit—unless you find new routines—the pattern will unfold automatically. However, simply understanding how habits work—learning to recognize the cues and rewards that drive them—makes them surprisingly easier to control. Once you break a habit into its components, you can fiddle with the gears.

Tiny habits

Tiny habits

By BJ Fogg, PhD

Behavior change is not a mystery; it's actually quite predictable. When behavior change doesn't happen, it's typically because the person doesn't want to do it, doesn't know how to make it easy, or isn't prompted to do it. With the Tiny Habits method, you can sidestep these obstacles by creating habits that are small enough to succeed regardless of motivation, designing for simplicity, and anchoring new behaviors to existing routines in your life.

How to Talk to Anyone: 92 little tricks for big success.

By Leil Lowndes

"You've heard people say 'She has a magnetic personality' or 'He lights up a room.' What exactly do these people do? What's their secret? They simply use their bodies to communicate 'I think you are wonderful and I'm very, very glad to be with you.' They stand up straight up with their shoulders back. They lean forward, genuinely interested in what you have to say. They look you right in the eye, and they don't let their eyes wander while you're speaking to them. They touch you appropriately.

The Creative Habit

The Creative Habit

By Twyla Tharp with Mark Reiter

I begin each day of my life with a ritual: I wake up at 5:30 A.M., put on my workout clothes, my leg warmers, my sweatshirts, and my hat. I walk outside my Manhattan home, hail a taxi, and tell the driver to take me to the Pumping Iron gym at 91st Street and First Avenue, where I work out for two hours. The ritual is not the stretching and weight training I put my body through each morning at the gym; the ritual is the cab. The moment I tell the driver where to go I have completed the...

Show your work

Show your work

By Austin Kleon

Almost all of the people I look up to and try to steal from today, regardless of their profession, have built sharing into their routine. These people aren't schmoozing at cocktail parties; they're too busy for that. They're cranking away in their studios, their laboratories, or their offices, but instead of maintaining absolute secrecy and hoarding their work, they're open about what they're working on, and they're consistently posting bits and pieces of their work, their ideas, and what they're learning online.

The War of Art

The War of Art

By Steven Pressfield

Most of us have two lives. The life we live, and the unlived life within us. Between the two stands Resistance. Have you ever brought home a treadmill and let it gather dust in the attic? Ever quit a diet, a course of yoga, a meditation practice? Have you ever bailed out on a call to embark upon a spiritual practice, dedicate yourself to a humanitarian calling, commit your life to the service of others? Have you ever wanted to be a mother, a doctor, an advocate for the weak and helpless; to run for office, crusade for the planet,...
