Books Mini Habits: Smaller Habits, Bigger Results  by Stephen Guise (Author)

"Mini Habits: Smaller Habits, Bigger Results" by Stephen Guise advocates building lasting habits through very small, manageable actions called "mini habits." These habits are so small that they feel almost too easy or "too small to fail," such as doing just one push-up a day instead of a full workout, or reading one paragraph daily instead of a whole chapter. Guise discovered that these mini habits help bypass the brain's natural resistance to change because they require minimal motivation and effort to start, yet they create consistent progress and build positive behavior automatically over time. The book emphasizes focusing on small actions that can be effortlessly incorporated daily, gradually leading to significant long-term improvements and habit formation without willpower depletion. This approach contrasts with larger, more intimidating goals that often rely on motivation and willpower and typically fail when motivation wanes.
