If you eat a family-size pizza for dinner, it won't make you overweight overnight.īut if we repeat these small behaviors day after day, our choices compound into major results.

If you are out of shape today, and go for a 20-minute jog, you'll still be out of shape tomorrow. Small changes leave a negligible immediate impact. It's because – just like the confused pilot – we don't notice tiny changes in our lives. At the end of their journey, the confused passengers – and even more confused pilot – would find themselves landing in Washington DC, not New York City. The plane's nose shifts slightly to one side, and no one – not the pilot, not the passengers – notices anything.īut over the journey across the United States, the impact of this slight change would be considerable. He only changes it by 3.5 degrees – which is nearly nothing, just a few feet. But now imagine that, not long after takeoff, the pilot accidentally changes the flight path slightly. The pilot enters all the correct information into the plane's computer, and the plane takes off heading in the right direction. The plane's destination is New York City. These small changes will have a revolutionary effect on your career, your relationships, and your life.To kick things off, I want you to imagine a plane preparing to take off from Los Angeles. Along the way, he tells inspiring stories of Olympic gold medalists, leading CEOs, and distinguished scientists who have used the science of tiny habits to stay productive, motivated, and happy. He uncovers a handful of simple life hacks (the forgotten art of Habit Stacking, the unexpected power of the Two Minute Rule, or the trick to entering the Goldilocks Zone), and delves into cutting-edge psychology and neuroscience to explain why they matter. In this ground-breaking book, Clears reveals exactly how these minuscule changes can grow into such life-altering outcomes. He knows that real change comes from the compound effect of hundreds of small decisions - doing two push-ups a day, waking up five minutes early, or holding a single short phone call. But world-renowned habits expert James Clear has discovered another way.
