The Golden Rule Of Habit Change: You

Cravings Are What Drive Habits. And Figuring Out How To Spark A Craving Makes Creating A New Habit Easier.

If You Want To Do Something That Requires Willpower - Like Going For A Run After Work - You Have To Conserve Your Willpower Muscle During The Day.

Once People Learned How To Believe In Something, That Skill Started Spilling Over To Other Parts Of Their Lives, Until They Started Believing They Could Change. Belief Was The Ingredient That Made A Reworked Habit Loop Into A Permanent Behavior.

The Same Process That Makes Aa So Effective—the Power Of A Group To Teach Individuals How To Believe—happens Whenever People Come Together To Help One Another Change. Belief Is Easier When It Occurs Within A Community.

When People Have A Willpower Failure, It's Because They Haven't Anticipated A Situation That's Going To Come Along.
