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. Start with two pushups a day, not a two-hour workout; or five deep breaths each morning rather than an hour of meditation. In TINY HABITS, B.J. 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.
