How to Change

Why do ideas that change behavior for a month rarely last, and what turns a short push into a lasting habit?

At a glance

Why read it

  • You will learn the principles that raised gym visits at almost no cost: planning, reminders, fun, social norms and repeated rewards
  • You will weigh how far a short program can build habits, since only about a quarter to a third of the extra visits became lasting
  • You will be able to judge a behavior change plan by what happens after it ends, not only while it runs

Who it is for

  • Someone who joined a gym and stopped going
  • A manager launching a wellness program for staff
  • A parent trying to build better routines at home
