Why read it

A practical system for building habits out of very small steps. Good for personal routines, and surprisingly good for thinking about product onboarding.

Key ideas

1. Tiny improvements compound into large results over time.
2. Make good habits obvious, attractive, easy and satisfying, and flip each of those to break bad ones.
3. Change lasts longer when it is tied to the person you want to be, not only to a goal.
