Podcasts about behavior design

Lasting change begins with a shift in both mindset and behavior. Many people remain stuck in self-defeating patterns because of unconscious narratives, emotional triggers, and a disconnection from their body's inner wisdom. Change isn't just about willpower or information—it's about learning to rewire the brain through small, intentional actions that generate powerful emotional feedback loops. Identity transformation happens not through repetition, but through experiences that create a sense of success. In a world flooded with conflicting advice and manipulative marketing, reclaiming agency requires tuning into your own signals, building self-trust, and recognizing that behavior change is a design challenge—not a character flaw. Empowerment comes from realizing that the ability to change is built into who we are as humans. In this episode, I speak with Tom Bilyeu, Dr. Rangan Chatterjee, and Dr. BJ Fogg about cracking the nut of behavior change. Tom Bilyeu is a filmmaker and serial entrepreneur best known as the co-founder of Quest Nutrition, a billion-dollar company built to combat metabolic disease through value-driven innovation. After nearly a decade of chasing financial success and feeling unfulfilled, he realized the importance of loving the struggle itself. This insight led him and his partners to shift focus from profit to purpose. Quest quickly became the second fastest-growing company in North America, according to Inc. Magazine. After achieving significant personal wealth, Tom turned to the other global crisis he saw—disempowering mindsets. To address this, he co-founded Impact Theory, a media studio with his wife, Lisa Bilyeu. Their mission is to scale mindset transformation by producing empowering content that shifts the cultural subconscious. Just as Disney built the most magical place on Earth, the Bilyeus aim to build the most empowering one. Dr. Rangan Chatterjee is regarded as one of the most influential doctors in the UK. A practicing GP for the last two decades, Dr. Chatterjee wants to inspire people to transform their health by making small, sustainable changes to their lifestyles. Host of the #1 Apple podcast, Feel Better, Live More, and presenter of BBC 1's Doctor in the House, Dr. Chatterjee is the author of 5 Sunday Times bestselling books and his TED Talk, “How to Make Diseases Disappear,” has now been viewed over 4.8 million times. His newest book is Happy Mind, Happy Life: The New Science of Mental Well-Being. Dr. BJ Fogg is a behavior scientist, author, and founder of the Behavior Design Lab at Stanford University, where he has researched human behavior since 1998. He developed the groundbreaking “Behavior Design” system, which explains how behavior works and how to design it effectively. Over the past decade, his lab has focused on practical applications—from helping people navigate coronavirus-related challenges to training climate change professionals in behavior change strategies. BJ is also the creator of the “Tiny Habits” method, a simple, science-backed approach to habit formation that has helped over 40,000 people make lasting life changes. His work empowers individuals and organizations to design behavior that benefits both people and the planet. He shares his insights in the New York Times best-selling book, Tiny Habits: The Small Changes That Change Everything. This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers.

Will Leach is the Founder of Mindstate Group, a behavioral research and brand consultancy that specializes in identifying the unconscious factors driving consumer behavior. As the world's leading expert on subconscious mindstate research, he works with innovative brands to uncover actionable consumer insights. Will is also the best-selling author of Marketing to Mindstates and is a Behavioral Design Instructor at the Texas A&M Human Behavior Lab. In this episode… Have you ever been captivated by an ad that seemed to read your mind or wondered why certain products make their way into your shopping cart almost without thought? Behavioral psychology plays a huge role in consumer purchasing decisions. So how can you leverage psychological mindstates in your marketing? According to passionate behavioral marketer Will Leach, mindstates are emotional motivations that make consumers susceptible to influence. In these moments, they're more likely to make rash, subconscious decisions that satisfy demands. Marketers can leverage these mindstates to influence purchasing decisions and drive brand awareness. Behavioral marketing techniques include employing visual cues to increase your ads' stopping rate and developing a frame of reference to give your product a competitive edge. However, these strategies only capture short-term attention. To sustain brand loyalty, you must shift from emotional allure to demonstrating your products' rational benefits. In this episode of the Up Arrow Podcast, William Harris converses with Will Leach, the Founder of Mindstate Group, about the practical applications of behavioral marketing. Will talks about the influence of the environment on purchasing decisions, how brands can harness psychological cues to create persuasive marketing campaigns, and why brands struggle with rapid growth.

Today on our show, we're diving deeper into last episode's conversation on consumer responsibility. You'll soon be listening in on a chat recorded live in London between Bhavesh Unadkat, Vice President of Brand and Marketing UK, frog; Sharon Jiggins, Managing Director, 23red, also part of Capgemini Invent; and Matt Gratze, Former Director of Digital at Signet Jewelers.

Most brands will tell you they put the customer first. But how far are they really willing to go? For instance, how many companies make consumer needs priority over the fiscal bottom line? How many brands would be willing to recommend a competitor's product if it served their customer's needs better? Probably not a lot. In our newest frog report, 'The New Terms of Engagement' we explore these tensions with our guests and report authors Bhavesh Unadkat, Vice President of Brand, Marketing and Content Services UK, frog, Kerry Lee, Director of Commerce and Customer Transformation UK, frog and Christopher Baird, Global Head of Loyalty. At a time of unconditional responsibility, where consumers care more than ever about their purchasing decisions and customer experiences, with an eye toward sustainability, inclusivity and purpose, companies may need to change the way they act and communicate to meet a consumer base looking for more meaning in their marketing and commerce interactions.Brought to you by frog, a global creative consultancy. frog is part of Capgemini Invent.

Heute geht es darum, wie prinzipiell wichtige Zutaten zu gelingenden Vorhaben unerwarterterweise auch zu Stolpersteinen werden können. Vorbereitung & Planung "Gute Vorbereitung ist die halbe Miete." Immer? Manchmal sind Vorbereitungsaufgaben auch geniale Ausreden, um nicht zu scheitern. Klare Ziele Warum Ziele für Erfolge zwar notwendig, aber nicht hinreichend sind. Motivation & Selbstdisziplin Warum es menschlich ist, auf Motivation und Selbstdisziplin zu setzen, dies aber allzu oft nicht nur nicht zum Erfolg führt, sondern zudem auch noch schlechte Gefühle produziert. Und …. was der Verhaltensforscher B.J. Fogg anstattdessen empfiehlt, um die Wahrscheinlichkeit, das, was wir wollen, auch wirklich konsequent zu tun.

Kristine, leveraging her vast experience in wellness workshops and her certification in behavior design, shares her unique insights and thought-provoking perspectives on aging.In their engaging discussion, Debi and Kristine reveal how simple lifestyle tweaks can have a profound impact on the quality and longevity of life. Highlights include the ‘triple threat' of healthy aging — engaging in physical activity, maintaining a whole foods diet, and fostering social connections. They introduce attainable habit strategies that allow anyone to kickstart their journey to age-proof their life, regardless of their current age or physical condition.Key Takeaways:Social connectedness is a vital ingredient for healthy aging, possibly contributing up to eight additional healthy years to one's life. It encompasses aspects like a sense of purpose, feelings of belonging, spiritual practices, reasons for waking up each morning, and the state of personal relationships.Regular movement and a diet consisting primarily of whole foods each have the potential to add up to four healthy years to one's life.Small steps or simple lifestyle habit changes play a significant role in introducing and sustaining new routines focused on healthy aging and social connectedness.Age is not a barrier to learning new skills or developing healthy habits; in fact, it is never too late to start embarking on these practices.Prioritizing self-investment and self-love are paramount for promoting overall well-being and form the basis of effective healthy aging strategies.Resources referenced in the episode:Kristine on LinkedInKristine on IGCycling Without AgeDebi's Website

Behavior design is about actively and intentionally creating your future, and only doing the highest leverage things that will get you what you really want. Not what someone else says you should want. Behavior design is things you start and things you stop and things that sound lovely, but aren't worth your effort right now, because they're not the highest leverage element in the creation of your future. Because the result you want will be different than somebody else, your path should be, too. You can be the designer of your world, and not just the consumer of it.

This week, I had the pleasure of speaking with Kristen Berman. She's a behavioral scientist, CEO, and co-founder of Irrational Labs, helping teams apply behavioral design research to their products and services. We covered multiple ways to think about behavior design, like studying the physical environment in which decisions are made, resolving conflicts with established metrics, and mapping customers' path to your desired behavior using what Kristen calls “getting uncomfortably specific”. Long-time listeners know that any day I get to geek out about behavioral design with an expert is a good day, so naturally, this episode was as fun as it was educational. Enjoy!

Listen to this bonus episode from the archives of ImpactParents with Dr. Fogg about the way our brains manage, create, and put into action the behaviors we want (and don't want!) to happen. Stanford University Behavior Scientist, Dr. BJ Fogg, teaches people how behavior works. With deep experience in teaching and innovation, he splits his time between Stanford University and industry innovation, running a research lab and teaching his models and methods in graduate seminars, and bringing his breakthrough method "Tiny Habits" into global corporations. His Stanford students have gone on to co-found Instagram, and start the Center for Humane Technology. In 2010, his work on “Behavior Design” led to the creation of a set of models and methods about human behavior (with nothing to do with technology.) His TEDx talk “Forget big change, start with Tiny Habits” has over a million views. Find out more at BJFogg.com and look forward to his upcoming book, Tiny Habits: The Small Changes that Change Everything, scheduled for publication in 2020.

This is part 2 of my interview with Dr. BJ Fogg, author of Tiny Habits: The Small Changes that Change Everything. In this part, we talk about how success breeds success and having your patient work on the habit you want them to change shouldn't be the first priority. The first priority should be what they want to change because it shows them that they can be successful in creating lasting change. We also discuss how positive emotions help to encode habits and he actually came up with a technique to make ourselves feel successful after we've performed an act we want to repeat. We end by talking about the habits that he is still working on himself. He can be found at BJFogg.com and TinyHabits.com. Dr. Fogg founded the Behavior Design Lab at Stanford University. In addition to his research, Dr. Fogg teaches industry innovators how human behavior really works. He created the Tiny Habits Academy to help people around the world and interestingly, the Tiny Habits Academy long preceded the Tiny Habits book. He lives in Northern California and Maui.

That's what high performance is to me, the ability to adapt rapidly so you can achieve your potential. There are five key pillars to creating the conditions for adaptability: sleep, exercise, mental resilience, nutrition, and community/relationships.” Dr Erik Korem   “I maybe have a different concept on leadership. To me, leading is a verb. If you're leading, you're a leader. If you're swimming you're a swimmer, if you're driving you're a driver. If you're leading you're by definition a leader. I define leading as being looked to in a particular moment to make a decision or perform an action based on your unique gifts and abilities. So by that definition, everybody is a leader. All rank and role really describe is how many people are hoping you get it right when it's your turn to wear the weight.” - Clint Bruce   John Danaher on high performance mindset and resilience:  “Whenever you are sparring, your mind will have a given direction of focus. The most basic division is between self focus and focus on the opponent.” - John Danaher on high performance mindset and resilience   Blue Print host Dr. Erik Korem on high performance mindset and resilience:  “In sport, our goal is to develop the most adaptable athletes with the most resilience who can consistently obtain their high performance mindset and potential.” - Dr. Erik Korem on high performance mindset and resilience, host of The Blue Print   John Danaher on high performance mindset and resilience:  “Philosophy was crucial because it is among the best means of developing a problem solving mindset.” - John Danaher on high performance mindset and resilience   Blue Print host Dr. Erik Korem on high performance, performance mindset, and resilience:  “The key is using that stress and being able to adapt to it to improve. That's what high performance to me is: the ability to adapt rapidly so you can achieve your potential.”  - Dr. Erik Korem on high performance, performance mindset, and resilience, host of The Blue Print   John Danaher on high performance mindset and resilience:  “The greatest determinant of the outcome of your matches over time by a landslide is your training and lifestyle mentality. This is the high performance mindset you carry every day as you train and progress.” - John Danaher on high performance mindset and resilience _______________ Hot Pie Media is an on-demand digital audio/video entertainment network with interests primarily in the creation of original, relevant and entertaining podcasts.

Dan Greenberg, president of Sharethrough, one of the world's largest omnichannel exchanges, joins me on Tech Talks Daily. Dan has his pulse on how businesses can ensure their ads get as many eyeballs as possible. In particular, Dan has thoughts on how our desire to read through feed-based visuals will inform how we interact with advertising in the future, particularly when it comes to TV.  Dan believes that the current, catalogue-style home page that most streaming services have adopted will become obsolete and that adapting to the way we consume other media through personalized feeds on channels like social will become the norm. In addition, with streaming giants such as Netflix reporting slowing subscriber growth, streamers need to find new ways to breathe life into their UX. About Dan Dan is the President of Sharethrough, overseeing market development and customer strategy. As the founding CEO of Sharethrough, Dan is a recognized leader in the industry and the Silicon Valley tech ecosystem. Coming from a research background at Stanford in Behavior Design, Dan has been at the cutting edge of digital advertising since 2005, bringing together unique expertise in persuasive technology and native monetization.  Dan is the founding chair of the IAB Native Advertising Committee and has spearheaded the native advertising movement since its inception in 2011.

Behavior design is about actively and intentionally creating your future, and only doing the highest leverage things that will get you what you really want. Not what someone else says you should want. Behavior design is things you start and things you stop and things that sound lovely, but aren't worth your effort right now, because they're not the highest leverage element in the creation of your future. Because the result you want will be different than somebody else, your path should be, too. You can be the designer of your world, and not just the consumer of it. Come learn the elements of all behavior and how to use them to create the habits that will create your future.Domino Chain Reaction YouTube Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y97rBdSYbkgTiny Habits by B.J.

If you have trouble adhering to your medication regimen or know you need to eat healthier, but are overwhelmed, tiny habits may be your answer.  Examining your small habits can help patients with chronic illness  live healthier lives. Behavior scientist and best-selling author BJ Fogg gives us step-by-step tips for implementing habits into their daily routine. Plus, field correspondent Kate Pecora virtually travels across the pond to speak to U.K. patient Jess Logan, founder of Making the Invisible Visible. She shares her journey with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), long wait times to see a specialist and making her voice heard in the doctor’s office. Guest:BJ Fogg, Ph.D. Founder and Director, Behavior Design Lab at Stanford UniversityDr. BJ Fogg is a behavior scientist with deep experience in innovation and teaching. At Stanford University, Dr. Fogg directed a research lab for over 20 years. He also teaches his models and methods in special Stanford courses each year.On the industry side, Dr. Fogg trains innovators to use his work so they can create solutions that influence behavior for good. The focus areas include health, sustainability, financial wellbeing, learning, productivity, and more. In 2002, Dr. Fogg published a book entitled, Persuasive Technology, about how computers can be designed to influence attitudes and behaviors. At the time of publication this book was mostly ignored. Now, almost 20 years later, Dr. Fogg sees his predictions and warnings about persuasive technology were surprisingly accurate.In 2009 his research interests moved away from persuasive technology toward human behavior in general, especially health habits. This led to creating a new set of models and methods that comprise what he calls “Behavior Design.” In January of 2020, Dr. Fogg shared 300 pages of new and practical uses for Behavior Design in his New York Times Bestselling book Tiny Habits.Links:BJ FoggTiny HabitsCDC: Vaccine GuidanceStatement in Support of Medigap Insurance for Patients with End-Stage Renal DiseaseGive a Crap ChallengeMaking the Invisible VisibleJessica LoganPatients Rising Concierge Need help?The successful patient is one who can get what they need when they need it.

At exactly 4:50 AM the entire country gathered to change one of their cherished traditions. Pandemonium? Or a perfect template for changing habits in our own lives? BJ Fogg—Head of Stanford's Behavior Design Lab—would argue the latter.  Leave this episode with one of the most fundamental MicroBehaviors to change your own habits.

In today's episode, we cover the breaking and creation of habits with BJ Fogg. BJ founded the Behavior Design Lab at Stanford University and teaches industry innovators how human behavior works. There are plenty of misconceptions floating around the internet surrounding making and breaking habits, so what is the biggest one, what does the science actually say about habit formation, and what can you start doing today to break those bad habits you're feeling stuck with? What to Listen For What is Behavior Design and how can you use it to become the best version of yourself? What is the Tiny Habits method and how can we implement it now to start creating long lasting habits? Why is it important to start implementing a new habit by making it as easy as possible? What is the biggest myth about habit formation? Why can habit trackers be detrimental to healthy habit development? What is the secret to promoting positive behavioral changes in your kids? What is the difference between habit and compliance and why is one detrimental in the long run? Why are positive emotions so significant in the creation of new habits and how can we use that knowledge to build better habits faster? What are the 3 phases to getting rid of unwanted habits? What 2 strategies can you use to reduce your weekly screentime and be more present in social situations? Habit formation is not as simple as just doing something for a specific number of days. Many of us know there are things we only had to try once or twice before we started doing them everyday because it only took one or two times to recognize how good doing those things made us feel. Because we as humans don't fully incorporate behavioral changes unless we want to, we must recognize and feel the positive impacts a new behavioral change will have in order to solidify it.

BJ Fogg is a behavior scientist, with deep experience in innovation and teaching. At Stanford University he’s directed a research lab for over 20 years. On the industry side, BJ trains innovators to use his work so they can create solutions that influence behavior for good. The focus areas include health, sustainability, financial wellbeing, learning, productivity, and more. In 2002, he published a book entitled, Persuasive Technology, about how computers can be designed to influence attitudes and behaviors. At the time of publication this book was mostly ignored. Now, almost 20 years later, the predictions and warnings about persuasive technology were surprisingly accurate. In 2009 BJs research interests moved away from persuasive technology toward human behavior in general, especially health habits. This led to creating a new set of models and methods that comprise what he calls “Behavior Design.” In January of 2020 I shared 300 pages of new and practical uses for Behavior Design in my New York Times Bestselling book . Today he devotes about 50% of his time to Stanford and 50% to industry teaching & innovation. For him, working in both worlds makes sense: his Stanford work makes him better in industry. And what he learns in industry improves his Stanford research.​

Today, we have the great pleasure of speaking to Angeles Moreno, the founder of the specialist consulting firm, The Creative Dots. Angeles is a spirited entrepreneur, and she has had some tremendous experiences that include losing her company to her partner and writing a book about it.  She is joining us today to talk about her journey, the importance of women's empowerment, how women should get empowered, how to interact with people, and what it means to be an event manager, either face-to-face or in the online space. We hope you will enjoy today's conversation as much as we did! Angeles Moreno's bio Angeles Moreno is an internationally recognized expert in her field. She has 20 plus years of professional experience, with 18 years as an entrepreneur and 16 years dedicated to her own event management company.  She is a regular Keynote speaker in main events with topics like Women's Empowerment, Organizational Change, and Experience Design. In recent years, she has devoted most of her time to her passion, which is strategic consulting.  Her constant search to continue evolving and learning has led her to specialize in Customer Experience, Human-Centered and Behavior Design, and to launch the specialist consulting firm, The Creative Dots. With offices in Madrid and Berlin, TCD has developed its own innovative method, the CX Design Playbook, and specializes in the design of people-centered solutions, Learning, and Transformational Experiences.  Angeles is a trusted advisor, and she collaborates with organizations around the world to define strategic lines of growth and development. During the year 2019, she was appointed for MPI | Meeting Professionals International (USA) as the Senior Advisor for Europe. More recently, she was appointed as the strategic advisor for the Women in Digital Switzerland organization.  She is the author of the book The Time Is Now. She also holds the title of Spanish Director of the Event Design Collective for implementing the innovative Event Canvas™ Methodology through training and consulting services. How Angeles got into the world of event planning Angeles grew up on the Canary Islands. Although her family wanted her to study law, she decided to study tourism instead. She started working at a hotel, and because she spoke fluent German, Spanish, and English, she received an offer to work in the events or special operations department of a company that is now known as Pacific World. Right from the start, she knew that she had landed in the right place! The biggest event After working for the company for just two-and-a-half years, Angeles ran what was probably the biggest event that the company had ever done. More responsibility Angeles kept looking for more and more responsibility and bigger events to organize. So she moved to a smaller company that was very well-known in her country, where she spent a short time before moving to England, and then to Germany. Her first company When Angeles returned home in 1999, she set up her first company, which was an online marketplace for organizing events. The company was successful until the dot-com crisis hit, causing her to shut the operation down within 48 hours. An event management agency In 2001, Angeles set up an event management agency in Madrid. Within five years, the company was turning millions. It kept on growing, and after fourteen years, Angeles decided to bring in some new partners. That was a bad decision, and she wrote a book about it, called The Time is Now. The Time is Now Angeles wrote her book because she thought that the story she went through when she made a huge mistake and lost her company in 2014 could help a lot of people. And she also wanted to tell people that her life is not always perfect and she's not always happy. Advisors Now, Angeles is far happier than ever before in her business. She has a group of advisors and a business coach to help her to make the right decisions. Angeles Moreno and The Creative Dots At The Creative Dots, they do human-centered strategies, and they embrace change in company cultures, organizations, and operations.  Learning from the events industry Angeles feels that people in the events industry tend to underestimate their capabilities and how much they know. She has learned many things from working in the industry, like how to be more efficient and how to push people to become more creative. Experts getting to the next level People who think that they cannot work at all right now because they can't do physical events need to realize that they are experts in human interactions and in designing transformational experiences. By believing in that, knowing their strengths, and investing in a bit more education, they can get to the next level. Online events If you are used to running face-to-face events, and you want to do an online event, you don't have to run the online part yourself. What you need to do is to partner with people who specialize in online productions. Event managers If you are an event manager, the format of the event does not matter. Whether you are running a virtual event, a physical event, or a mix of the two, you need to be an expert event manager. And that is all about live communication strategy. Common mistakes in the industry right now People in the events industry are making a huge mistake right now in pivoting to a virtual platform and using the same format and content as they would for a physical event.  Another mistake people are making is trying to convert event managers from the physical world into virtual event managers. Empowering women in the industry Something is missing in the world when it comes to empowering women. Many different elements, like culture, education, and leadership strategies, need to change.  Inclusivity project MPI has set up a group for promoting female leadership in events strategy. They have sessions every two months, with female leaders talking about events strategies and why we need to be more inclusive in the designing of events. It is hard to be a professional and a mother  It is hard for women to continue with their professional careers when they become mothers because neither society nor governments help them much in the process. Some conversations are necessary around that issue in all industries and governments across the world.  Empowering women and leading by example If events become inclusive in all their aspects, like their message, their participants, and their speakers, they will serve as a good example, and that will help in getting people used to the idea of inclusivity. Children also need to see women in many more traditionally-male roles. Women in Digital Switzerland Angeles loves the Women in Digital Switzerland project because she thinks the world is suffering from a lack of female talent in digital. If we have no females in the digital economy the women will disappear entirely from all decision-making positions and processes and end up having to stay at home in the future.  Thoughts on the digital world Angeles thinks we need to focus on digital societies, associations, communities, and projects to promote the need for more digital careers for young ladies. We also need to become more open to the digital world. Angeles Moreno's book launch Angeles Moreno's book is available on her new web page. You can download it there, in Spanish or English.

In this episode of the Everybody Brands podcast, we have a conversation with Mind State Group founder Will Leach on how making fast emotional connections with people will help your brand win trust and resonate with people’s hearts and minds.Will knows what it what it's like and how it feels to hold your breath every time you launch advertising, and how crushing it is when the campaign you worked on so hard just crashes and burns. With over 25 years of experience in corporate America, Will has worked with some of the biggest brands in the world and conducted hundreds of research studies. His best-selling book, Marketing to Mindstates generated six figures in just six months of launching, (which makes me jealous).

To create change in our lives we need to burn the boats and change 19 habits at once, right? Well, this may work for some —but for most of us, it's wishful thinking and leads to stress, complication and paralysis analysis. Enter Tiny Habits —using the simplest possible actions to create long-term enduring change. For example: Doing two push-ups instead of 40 Flossing one tooth instead of all of them Writing for 5 minutes instead of 45 minutes Strumming three chords instead of 5 songs And oddly enough —by implementing Tiny Habits, we actually create long term results that were previously unavailable with our prior model. Enter the latest Academy guest —BJ Fogg who is one of the world's experts on human behavior change. BJ Fogg is a behavior scientist, with deep experience in innovation and teaching. At Stanford University, he's directed a research lab for over 20 years. He now has created a new set of models and methods that comprise what I call “Behavior Design.” In January of 2020 I shared 300 pages of new and practical uses for Behavior Design in hisNew York Times Bestselling book Tiny Habits. Ep. 192 | Tiny Habits For Transformation with BJ Fogg "The academic tradition around human behavior and habits is impoverished."  —BJ Fogg "Human behavior can seem complicated, but there are ways to design for behavior." —BJ Fogg "Behavior (B) happens when Motivation (M), Ability (A), and a Prompt (P) come together at the same moment." —BJ Fogg MASTERCLASS: MAKE 2020 THE YEAR EVERYTHING CHANGED This is why I created a special Masterclass Experience —Make 2020 The Year Everything Changed.

Barry O’Reilly talks with social scientist and author of Tiny Habits, Dr. BJ Fogg on this week’s Unlearn Podcast. BJ is a Research Associate at Stanford University and creator of the Fogg Behavior Model in which he teaches people how to adapt their behavior based on the challenges they want to solve. His students include the co-founder of Instagram, as well as several other product, app, and service developers who create solutions using the models and methods he teaches. A Natural Experimenter “There’s a real skill about recognizing different patterns and seeing a trend and bringing it all together to create a new field,” Barry comments. He describes BJ as a natural experimenter, as he was able to converge his love of rhetoric with scientific study to create the new field of persuasive technology. BJ points out that it’s not a straight path: “You kind of stumble into learning and unlearning moments—you find what works and what doesn't; and certainly do by being curious to explore new paths, design experiments and get insights through research.” How To Make Change Sustainable Lasting change has these two characteristics, according to Fogg: Will it help you do what you already want to do? Will it help you feel successful? These two maxims are foundational to Fogg's systematic approach, Behavior Design, that helps people make the sustainable changes they are aiming towards. BJ describes how he discovered this new domain by setting himself up to be free to pursue his goals in the way he felt was best. Once you have a little support to independently sustain yourself for a while, he says, you realize that you can take more risks than you thought before. Barry adds, “Our ability to continuously adapt our behavior and thinking to changing circumstances is probably the most important skill we may need.” Just Get It Out There “Design the experiment. Crank it out. The first you're gonna mess up on. So just do it, learn, change and then do the next one,” BJ advises. Instead of trying to get it perfect, just get it done and put it out. The market will tell you what you need to improve and how to iterate. This is a key tenet of Behavior Design, BJ says. He illustrates this idea with an interesting story about how he forced his students to create a Facebook app in a seemingly impossible deadline. An important lesson he took away from that experience, he says, is that simplicity is key. It was the simple apps that really took off: “10 weeks later it engaged over 24 million people on the Facebook platform and some of them were making lots of money.” Looking Ahead As BJ looks to the future, he comments that now is the critical time for behavior change. He feels a responsibility to help people get through the current pandemic and social justice issues using his behavior change system. It’s a system that you can apply to any problem, so he wants to teach people to use the system to tackle these challenges. He also talks about the focus mapping tool that he is launching to help users match themselves with new habits or behavior changes that are right for them. Resources BJFogg.com TinyHabits.com

While technically today’s featured book was released in 2019 (December 31 to be exact), I’ve dubbed it my favorite book so far this year!

About the Author The “New Guru You Should Know” according to Fortune. BJ Fogg runs the Behavior Design Lab at Stanford.  He invested over 20 years researching and teaching insights about human behavior. His early research on Persuasive Technology has informed the design of products that millions love and use (like Instagram, which his student co-founded). Now, he is taking everything he knows about behavior change—including his experience personally coaching 40,000 people – to help people lose weight, de-stress, sleep better, or achieve any goal of your choice.  You just need Fogg’s behavior formula: make it easy, make it fit your life, and make it rewarding. Whenever you get in your car, take one yoga breath. Smile.  Whenever you get in bed, turn off your phone. Give yourself a high five.   Change can be easy—once it starts, it grows. Source: https://www.tinyhabits.com/about About the Book In the widely-anticipated book Tiny Habits: The Small Changes that Change Everything, readers will discover the landmark Tiny Habits method that has helped thousands of people build their ideal lives. Unlike anything that’s come before, this system—what Dr. Fogg has coined “Behavior Design”—cracks the code of habit formation. The content in this book is practical, immediately applicable and most importantly brand new. Tiny Habits is not just a summary of existing methods.  Each chapter shares breakthrough insights and simple steps you can take to improve your life. All this is based on Dr. Fogg’s groundbreaking research in Behavior Design.  At the heart of this book is a startling truth: Creating a happier, healthier life can be both easy and fun.

A lot of us fall into the trap of relying solely on motivation to force us to do what we want to do (or what we other people think we should do). However BJ talks about the fact that once you build habits, you can do almost anything. Habit building is a superpower.  Motivation runs out quickly, making it an unreliable and unhelpful beast. Instead we need to focus on systems of behaviour design and the emotion we feel when we do a particular action.  We need to constantly ask ourselves ‘how could I make this easier’. BIG IDEA 2 (8:51) – The recipe for habits. Firstly, we need to be clear on our aspirations; what we want to be better at, do regularly or not do regularly. After this you need to identify the actual actions that would result in that aspiration, or outcome, coming to life. You can then plot these possible actions into a handy 2×2 to map their effectiveness vs your ability to do them. To build your recipe, you need to make sure you are looking at specific actions (eg ‘stop eating a tub of ice cream every evening’) to find (and then stick to) things you are really able to do.  It’s easy to just stay at the aspiration level of ‘get healthy’ or ‘sleep better’ which aren’t actionable and often results in habit failure. It’s possible you just need a reminder to do things.  You can add an anchor to your habit recipe through attaching a new action to old habits. For example, flossing can be anchored to brushing your teeth. The reminder is the previous action which is brushing your teeth. BIG IDEA 3 (13:48) – Our emotions drive our habits. We only do the things that make us feel good. Therefore you need to make yourself feel good in order to repeat the behaviour. This is the unique element of tiny habits which is the idea of celebration.  BJ proposes we need to celebrate upon completing our new habit.  Anything from a smile at ourselves in the mirror to dancing around the living room to hi-fiving your significant other.  These celebrations make us feel great, resulting in our brains remembering and associate that great feeling with the habit. Importantly, the celebration is not an incentive or reward (eg ‘if I workout five times this week, I will go for a massage’).  It is critical that the celebration happens IMMEDIATELY after completing the habit action (eg straight after flossing your teeth) and makes you feel good or successful as a result of doing your new habit.

The world’s leading expert on habit formation shows how you can have a happier, healthier life: by starting small.  When it comes to change, TINY IS MIGHTY.

Fogg brings his experience of coaching more than 40,000 people to help you lose weight, de-stress, sleep better, or achieve any goal of your choice.  You just need Fogg’s behavior formula: make it easy, make it fit your life, and make it rewarding. Whenever you get in your car, take one yoga breath. Smile.  Whenever you get in bed, turn off your phone. Give yourself a high five. Change can be easy—once it starts, it grows.  Let B.J. Fogg show you exactly how.   Tiny surprises for happiness and health | BJ Fogg, PhD | TEDxMaui https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2L1R7OtJhWs   About BJ Fogg B.J.

Today's guest is BJ Fogg, Founder & Director, Behavior Design Lab at Stanford, with an appearance by William Shan, one of his students who is project managing the launch of his new Behavior Design for Climate Action online training program.BJ teaches good people how behavior works so they can create products & services that benefit everyday people around the world. He is a behavior scientist, with deep experience in innovation and teaching. At Stanford University he runs the Behavior Design Lab. He also teaches his models and methods in graduate seminars with students from various majors.On the industry side, BJ trains innovators to use his work so they can create solutions that influence behavior. The focus areas include health, financial wellbeing, learning, productivity, and more.BJ wrote a seminal book, Persuasive Technology, about how computers can be designed to influence attitudes and behaviors. That book, together with his early innovations, inspired an annual global conference on the topic. His Stanford students have gone on to co-found Instagram, as well as launch a global movement focusing on “time well spent” and the Center for Humane Technology. Starting in 2010, BJ’s Stanford lab started shifting focus away from Persuasive Technology toward a new domain they named “Behavior Design,” a set of models and methods about human behavior (with nothing to do with technology.)BJ’s new book Tiny Habits will be published in over 15 languages.Fortune Magazine named BJ a “New Guru You Should Know” for his insights about mobile and social networks.In today’s episode, we cover:Overview of BJ’s workHow his work has evolved since he started doing itWho BJ’s work is meant to help, and some details on the framework/process it followsHow (and why) BJ first became interested in helping address climate changeWhat he and Will are going to do about it, and how they plan to helpHow others in similar positions might apply their skills and station to help with the climate fightBJ’s advice for others looking to find their lane.Links to topics discussed in this episode:BJ Fogg: https://www.bjfogg.com/Behavior Design for Climate Action: https://www.behaviordesign.info/climateactionTiny Habits book: https://www.tinyhabits.com/You can find me on twitter @jjacobs22 or @mcjpod and email at info@myclimatejourney.co, where I encourage you to share your feedback on episodes and suggestions for future topics or guests.Enjoy the show!

In this episode of Bulletproof Radio, my guest is someone who has cracked the code on a fundamental part of how human behavior works when it comes to forming new habits.Behavior scientist BJ Fogg, Ph.D., founded the Behavior Design Lab at Stanford University and is considered the leading scientific authority on habits.“It really is surprising to people how quickly you can form habits,” BJ says, “and there are certain habits that have this transformative impact on you.” There's one habit in particular, called the Maui habit, that he suggests for absolutely everyone. Keep listening to find out how to do it!His behavior model is easy to learn and easy to apply to everyday life… and doesn’t include willpower. “The thing that wires a habit in is not repetition,” BJ says, “it's the emotion you feel when you do the behavior.” He explains that behavior happens when three elements come together at the same moment: motivation, ability, and a prompt. This is going to be the episode that sets you on the path to creating habits that last. Why? Because BJ will introduce you to the science behind forming “Tiny Habits: The Small Changes that Change Everything ” and give you the tools you need to hack your own behavior.“The book does two things at once,” BJ says. “It defines what behavior design is and gives the models and methods of behavior design. Then more specifically, it walks people through step-by-step tiny habits so people can create habits quickly and easily.”Enjoy the show!

Happy New Year! In the first installment of Action Design Radio in 2020, our hosts Zarak and Erik are joined by behavior designer David Ngo. After studying under B.J. Fogg at Stanford, David founded his own behavior design firm – Behavior Delta: www.behaviordelta.com.   In today’s episode, David and our hosts discuss the psychological power of expectation, the “Swarm of B's” technique, and how to apply the Fogg model of behavior to creating new habits and healthy, lasting behavior change. There are many, many different methods of achieving the same goal. David says it’s important to keep in mind – especially this time of year when New Year’s Resolutions abound – that if the first attempt (experiment) doesn’t work out, don’t be discouraged; in fact, don’t even be surprised. It’s just a matter of finding a methodology that makes sense for you.    Check out these links for more information on the Swarm of B's Behavior Design Method, as well as B.J. Fogg’s new book, “Tiny Habits: The Small Changes That Change Everything.” https://lifehacker.com/use-the-swarm-of-bs-technique-to-successfully-form-new-1840617907 tinyhabits.com

This is the time of year when we make resolutions. Very few of us will actually keep them. The reason we can’t keep resolutions is that resolutions don’t work. We would be better at reaching their goals if they built habits, instead. BJ Fogg (@bjfogg) is a behavioral scientist at Stanford University. He specializes in “Behavior Design.” BJ has a new book coming out, right now in the beginning of 2020. It’s called Tiny Habits. I wanted to have him back on the show to announce the book. But then I realized that this episode on how to build good habits is so good that it’s worth running again. Here’s what you’ll learn: You need to pick habits with the right characteristics to be successful in building those habits. What are the components of a habit that will stick? What are the most common mistakes people make in trying to build habits? You've probably heard that it takes 21 days to build a habit. That's actually a myth.

Behavior change is hard. Studies show that up to 45% of our behavior comes from habits. So, what if we could learn how to build habits and design the new behaviors we want? In this podcast episode, our guest is BJ Fogg, Ph.D., the founder of Stanford’s Behavior Design Lab, and the world’s leading expert in habit formation. His new book Tiny Habits: Small Changes That Change Everything is based on over two decades of groundbreaking research and lays out a simple – yet powerful – behavior change model and a broader master system. His Tiny Habits® Method helps you create a three-step recipe designed to break big aspirations into specific micro behaviors; anchor them to a reliable prompt, and wire them in through a celebration with positive emotion. People use Tiny Habits for a wide range of situations and challenges. It’s up to you on how you choose to use it and design the recipes that are right for you. However, the book includes over 300 sample Tiny Habit Recipes across 15 common life situations and challenges to spur your thinking. These include recipes to build habits for: active older adults caregivers better sleep reducing stress cultivating brain health strengthening close relationships stopping habits that are getting in your way   We talk with BJ Fogg about his new habit book and: What Behavior Design is all about – and how he become interested in it How the Fogg Behavior Model works Why leaning on motivation and willpower aren’t reliable paths to behavior change How to build habits – and what emotion has to do with it Why the Tiny Habits Method is a valuable skillset Why some habits are Golden Behaviors and how to identify them and create them Why the Tiny Habits Method is transformational Why you’ll want to try The Super Fridge habit (among others in the Tiny Habits book) How he is personally using Tiny Habits today in his life His advice for people who want to create new behaviors this year ____________________________________________________________________ Bio BJ Fogg, Ph.D., is the founder and director of the Behavior Design Lab at Stanford. In addition to his research, he teaches Boot Camps in Behavior Design for industry innovators and also leads the Tiny Habits Academy helping people around the world. One of Fortune’s “10 New Gurus You Should Know.” Each year Dr. Fogg creates a new course to teach at Stanford, with topics ranging from mobile persuasion to health habits. His students have gone on to create successful products, including Instagram, that millions of people use every day. Today, Dr. Fogg is primarily interested in how human behavior works and how to help people acquire habits that lead to health and happiness. He has personally coached over 42,000 people in his behavior change method called “Tiny Habits.” __________________________ Wise Quotes  On Behavior Design “It came together for me in 2007 and this model – it’s really easy to understand, and it applies to all types of behaviors and all habits. Basically, it’s three elements. There’s motivation to do the behavior, the ability to the behavior, and a prompt. And so, with any behavior, we’ll have Motivation, Ability, and a Prompt. And this is what we discovered in research at Stanford and in industry. And if you make a small tweak to any one of those elements, you can change behavior. So, for example, if you want to stop a habit, if you can remove the motivation, boom, it will stop. If you can’t do that, can you remove the ability to make it harder to do? You can stop it – or can you remove the prompt? You can also use the model for one-time behaviors for creating habits and so on. So, it’s really pretty straightforward, I think it’s an elegant model that you can apply in a whole bunch of ways.”   On Emotions & Creating Habits “The common thing that you hear is repetition – and repetition is what creates habits. But that’s not actually accurate.

I wanted to run a marathon this year. The truth is, I hardly ever run, but like any good mid-life crisis man, I wanted to tackle that goal to prove to myself I still could do hard things. Sounds great, right? Fun and challenging? Here's the problem—I didn't do it. I don't even think I wanted to do it. If I had been smarter, I would have set a tiny goal, like running 5 km per week for a year for example. Then I could “win” the goal, and if the marathon happened, it'd be gravy. Instead, here I am approaching the end of the year. I've actually logged at least 10 km/week all year long, but I don't feel like it matters. But it does matter. My goal was just poorly crafted.  In this “dream big” and “hustle hard” era, it can be difficult to dial it back and make tiny goals and tiny habits, but I'm convinced it's where most of the change is actually possible. On this week's show, Dr. BJ Fogg shares his behavior change research from his upcoming book.  Listen & Learn:  How you need an epiphany, an environment change, or a collection of tiny habits to make lasting change Why stacking small successes is often much wiser than chasing huge moonshots Why feeling good is the best way to change How things that make you feel guilt and shame are unlikely to motivate you long-term  Links & Resources: Tiny Habits Site BehaviorModel.org Nutritional Tip: Food Allergies About Our Guest Dr. BJ Fogg founded the Behavior Design Lab at Stanford University, where he directs research and innovation.

Marketing to Mindstates: The Practical Guide to Applying Behavior Design to Research and Marketing by Will Leach Click here to view the show notes! https://www.salesartillery.com/marketing-book-podcast/marketing-to-mindstates-will-leach Your nonconscious mind will filter out more than 99 percent of marketing you "see" today. Traditional marketing simply doesn't work in today's complex world. To reach today's customers and influence their purchases, marketers and market researchers need to understand and harness the power of applied behavior psychology and behavior economics to break through these nonconscious filters and drive purchase behaviors--a process called Behavior Design. In Marketing to Mindstates, Will Leach, founder of TriggerPoint Design, a leading behavior research and design consultancy, demystifies this nonconscious filter and explains how to bypass it, introducing readers to temporary moments of influence called mindstates. Using his Mindstate Behavioral Model, he shows you specifically how to create behaviorally optimized messaging designed to activate these mindstates and trigger real emotional engagement. With this book, researchers and marketers will finally have a practical guide to creating behaviorally designed marketing that psychologically breaks through your customers' nonconscious to drive new behaviors and top line growth.

Welcome to the first 'Creating a New Healthcare' podcast of 2019!This is an incredibly timely topic.  At the start of each year, most of us resolve to discard bad habits and take up new, healthier ones. We all struggle with the perennial challenge of getting motivated, avoiding frustration; and sustaining new behaviors beyond just a few days or weeks.  In this interview we discuss a new approach and health app focused on healthy eating - fresh Tri - which our guest co-developed with Walmart.Our guest this week - Kyra Bobinet - is a bestselling author and the CEO-founder of engagedIN, a neuroscience behavior design firm that uses neuroscience to make health and wellness products, and communications, more engaging.Kyra is a physician who received a masters in public health from Harvard. She was the recipient of Harvard’s 2015 Innovator Award. Kyra is the author of A Well Designed Life: 10 Lessons in Brain Science and Design Thinking for a Mindful, Healthy, and Purposeful Life.  She and her work have been featured by the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Huffington Post and NPR. She’s created health startups, blockbuster products, health apps, and evidence-based programs in mind-body & metabolic medicine.  Some of the incredibly relevant issues covered in this episode include:“The emperor has no clothes.” - Kyra’s assessment of the employer wellness industryThe fundamental differences that make her new app - fresh Tri - unique in the world of healthy habit developmentWhy the perception of ‘failure’ is actually harmful to our health and is the neurophysiological basis for de-motivationHow to apply the basic principle of design thinking to constantly improve one’s   approach to developing healthful habits - and how to side-step failure trapsA rare opportunity to hear an expert describe  ‘the anatomy and physiology of behavior design’The ‘secret sauce’ Kyra discovered and believes to be the single most important factor in sustained behavior changeWhat’s unique about this interview and the work Dr. Bobinet is doing is that it goes beyond healthcare and physical health. This message of how we perceive failure and success is a fundamental life skill. Kyra’s research can assist us in avoiding the pitfalls of self-defeat in all aspects of our lives. Her underlying motivation - to remove the self-blame and harsh criticism we inflict upon ourselves - is a hopeful and realistic way to begin the new year.  As always, I hope you get as much out of this interview as I have.Zeev Neuwirth, MD

BJ Fogg (@bjfogg) is a behavioral scientist at Stanford University. He specializes in "Behavior Design," which aims to influence people for the better through insights about human behavior. In this podcast episode, BJ breaks down how to build good habits. Why do we fail to build good habits? Most resolutions to build good habits fail for two reasons: We think too vaguely. We think things like "I want to eat healthier" or "I want to lose weight." If you want to make something a reality you have to break it down into actions. Specificity makes behavior easier to change. Our motivation changes. You might start off trying to build good habits and feel very motivated, but your motivation will wane. You may have felt very motivated by something – such as the New Year – but that will pass. Or, life gets in the way, and that causes your priorities to change. What are some of the hardest good habits to build? What is a good habit? Well, that's up to you. But some of the most common good habits that people want to build are writing, and meditation. Yet they're the hardest. It's up to you what you consider to be a good habit. If you need help deciding on one popular habit: Should you make your bed? I've got you covered with that episode. Since I wrote a book about building writing habits with the aim of writing a book, I'll use that as an example to apply BJ's concepts in this post. The "swarm of bees" approach to build good habits We fail to build good habits because we think to vaguely. For example, we might say we want to write a book. You can't just sit down and write a book, especially if you're a beginning writer. An even more vague goal you might hear from people is that they want to "eat healthy." Neither of these are habits. These are outcomes. They are the results of taking actions, but they aren't actions themselves. So, it becomes mentally impossible to use them to "build good habits," if you aren't intentional about it. Fogg uses a concept, in his tiny habits training program, he calls the "swarm of bees." You start with your vague outcome. Fogg calls it an "aspiration." Write it down on a piece of paper. Then, write down a bunch of behaviors you could do that would help lead to that aspiration. It looks like this slide from Fogg's TEDx talk. [caption id="attachment_4474" align="aligncenter" width="750"] The "swarm of bees" is an outcome surrounded by behaviors that could lead to that outcome.[/caption] In this slide, the aspiration is "health outcomes," which could be something like losing weight. Let's think of the swarm of bees as something like writing a book. Outcome: Write a book Behaviors Sit at computer. Put fingers on keyboard. Type. Read about how to write a book. Read about how to publish a book. Do market research. and so on... Not all behaviors are habits: Three categories of behaviors As you come up with behaviors to match your aspiration, you'll find each behavior falls into one of three categories: One-time behaviors: Things you do just once, such as buy a book or schedule an appointment. Behaviors over a period of time: Things you do over a period of time, such as mow the lawn regularly over the summer. Habits: Things you do habitually with no time restriction. Brushing your teeth, meditating, or writing. Pick behaviors that are a good match for you, to build good habits Now you have an outcome you want to reach, and you have a list of behaviors that will bring you closer to that outcome. Next, you need to pick a behavior that you can build into a good habit. But you don't want to pick just any behavior. If you want to build good habits, the behavior has to be a good match. Fogg recommends choosing a behavior with the following three characteristics: The behavior has an impact: A good behavior will take you toward your aspiration. Since you already did the swarm of bees exercise, this will be a given. The behavior is something you can do: The good match for you is a behavior that you're capable of doing. If you’re a beginning writer trying to write a book, trying to build a habit of writing 5,000 words a day might be too much. The behavior is something you want to do: If you don't want to do the behavior, you can't build it into a good habit. How many days does it take to build a good habit? It depends! Despite what you might hear about how long it takes to build a good habit, there is no set number of times or days. (Commonly you hear the myth of “21 days” to build a good habit.) It really depends upon the habit you’re building. Some habits are instant: The moment you touched a smart phone, using it became a habit. When Fogg got a new rocking chair, sitting in it instantly became a habit, because it was so much better than his other chair. Other habits can take more time to take root. Good habits are like the roots of a plant More accurately, both good habits and bad habits are like the roots of a plant. Any plant needs to take root in order to survive. You want to pull the weeds (the bad habits) before their roots get too strong, and you want to nurture the good plants (the good habits) so they can take root and thrive for a long time. If you have a good habit going, but your life gets disrupted, you should take extra care to help that habit take root in your new circumstances. Think of it how you would think of moving a plant from one pot to another – it would need extra care. Good habits change your personal identity When you've built a good habit, meaning it's firmly rooted, it changes your personal identity. You start to tell yourself, "I'm the kind of person who...." Now that I've personally established a habit of writing, I'm more confident in my identity as a writer. "I'm the kind of person who writes." I write every morning during my pre-established writing habit, but now I can write anytime. Good habits have a "ripple effect." They lead to more good habits. Fogg has helped thousands of people build good habits through his tiny habits program. He collects data on the effects building good habits on these people. Fogg has found that, within five days after starting to build one good habit, eighty percent of people start building other habits. They apparently say to themselves, "I'm the kind of person who builds good habits." Consistency matters more than scale in building good habits When you're trying to build good habits, consistency matters more than scale. For example, if you have a habit of writing 100 words a day, and you're able to do it every day, that's better than if you try to build a habit of writing 1,000 words a day, but you're only able to do it occasionally. Why? Because if you keep writing 100 words a day, the habit has a chance to take root. It goes from being a behavior you do for a short period of time, to being a habit that you stick with. You really know something is a habit if it is easier to do the habit than it is to not do the habit. Think about habits like brushing your teeth or bathing. You don't feel right if you don't do them. They're strongly-rooted habits. It's a part of your identity. "[You're] the kind of person who brushes their teeth." Back to the writing habit: If you try to write 1,000 words a day, it's hard to remain consistent early on. It's easy to make excuses such as that you're too busy. You can't be consistent, so the habit can't take root. Tiny habits are the seeds of good habits Consistency is more important than scale. A small behavior done consistently has a better chance of taking root and changing your identity than a large behavior done inconsistently. This is why Fogg recommends tiny habits. Tiny habits are the seeds of good habits. I've been talking in this post about how much better it would be to build a 100-word writing habit than to try to build a 1,000-word writing habit. Those 100 words would be the seed that takes root. Your identity changes. You're the kind of person who writes every day. The next thing you know, you're writing much more. Feel good about your habit, don't feel bad about your habit For a habit to take root, you have to be consistent with it. You'll have a better chance of being consistent with your habit if you feel good about that habit. So find ways to feel good about your habit, and avoid ways that make you feel bad about your habit. Here's a few ways to keep you feeling good about your habit, and avoid feeling bad about your habit. Keep your good habit a tiny habit If you want to feel good about your habit, it helps to succeed at your habit. Fogg strongly recommends that you keep your habit tiny forever. It's counterintuitive. After all, if you want to write a book, how are you going to do it by writing just 100 words a day? The key is to allow yourself to do your habit beyond your target. So, if you have a habit of writing 100 words a day, go ahead and write 250 words, or 1,000 words. But keep your target at 100. I will say that I make a contradictory recommendation in my post, how to write a book. There's value as a writer to getting really good at writing pieces of a certain length. There's also value in building the habit of publishing. It would be incredibly complicated to study these factors, along with the factor of word count, to make a scientific recommendation on what works best. So, Fogg still staunchly stands by keeping your habit tiny. He's a scientist, and that's what he knows works. Congratulate yourself for performing your good habit Every time you do your habit, celebrate in some way. You could have a reward for yourself, but you can also merely tell yourself that you did a good job. This will keep you feeling good about your habit, and prevent you from feeling bad about your habit. In the writing example, let's say you have a tough day of writing. But, you wrote 100 words. Don't feel bad. Instead, congratulate yourself for performing your good habit for the day. Again, if you go past 100 words, that's great, but really congratulate yourself for merely writing 100 words. Lower your standards to feel good about your habit Ambitious people tend to have high standards. Not only do they want to write 1,000 words a day, they expect those words to be great. This just adds another opportunity to feel like you've failed at your habit. Worse yet, you may keep yourself from starting your habit in the first place. This is why, in my book The Heart to Start, I say you should give yourself "permission to suck." If you're writing badly every day, you have a much better chance of becoming good at writing if you instead decide not to write at all, just because you don't think you're a good writer. You'd find yourself in a Catch-22 situation: You can't get good at writing because you won't practice it. You won't practice writing because you don't feel that you're good at it. Don't count habit "streaks" Fogg recommends against counting "streaks," for your habits. Habit streaks create another opportunity for you to feel bad about your habit, which can lead to you not performing the behavior, which can prevent the habit from taking root. Imagine, for example, that you have a good habit of writing 100 words a day, and you’ve counted a streak of twenty days. Then, you miss your habit for some reason – maybe you were sick or you had house guests. Now, not only do you feel bad about missing your streak, you also have the sensation of starting your streak all over again. It’s as if you’re committing to 10,000 words, rather than 100. It would then be easy to abandon your good habit altogether. In summary... Find behaviors that fit your aspiration. From those behaviors, find a good habit match. Build tiny habits. Feel good about your habits. Don't feel bad about your habits. Buy The Heart to Start on Amazon You have something to offer the world.

Virtual Reality is finally here and analysts predict the industry will see its first billion-dollar year in 2016 - that's approximately $700 million in hardware sales and $300 million in content. VR will appeal to both consumer and enterprise – and with this much attention, businesses should be asking themselves how their offerings and experiences could translate to this emerging medium. In this episode, we take a look at whether virtual reality will sizzle or fizzle for businesses and brands, as well as what's on the horizon, featuring an interview with Jeff Piazza, Co-Founder and UX Director at Behavior Design, an award winning design studio.

David Ngo is a co-founding partner of Simplicity Labs, a Behavior Design firm.  David discusses how Behavior Design is a cutting edge approach to creating solutions that change human behavior.  He goes in detail of how changing human behavior, whether for ourselves or for others, is something that we do every day but we don’t have a systematic way of doing so.  He goes in detail of how his work is inspired by Dr. BJ Fogg and his achievements in academia and industry as a whole.  David ends the interview by sharing with us his story of success and how meditation has helped him achieve his goals.

Tony Stubblebine is interested in meditation, app development, and behavioral design. He’s brought all three interests together in his latest project, a habit building app called Lift. In this conversation over Google Hangouts, Tony and host Vincent Horn discuss the merits and potential shadow side to behavioural design. Tony describes how he became interested in the science of behavioural design and how that led him to create Lift as a way to bring a social aspect to building positive habits. They talk about the three components to consider when building a habit, how the QS Movement relates to behavioural design, and how to use systems like Lift to build strong positive habits like daily meditation.
