Sample Book Insights:
#1 The path of life was actually quite predictable for Nik Wallenda. He had intuitively done everything right to succeed with a plan of action. He was born into a family of circus performers, and had been trained to do something that could kill him at any moment.
#2 The seven forces that support the ability to stick with plans are: change your personality, become like those people with extraordinary willpower, develop your presence, or fire yourself up to want something so passionately that you will overcome all difficulties in your path.
#3 Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) didn’t help Josh’s inability to follow through with things. He was easily distracted, and even small tasks like sending an email took more than an hour.
#4 Josh started a project called 365 Spoons, where he crafted a different wooden spoon every day and shared it online with his followers. He not only completed his goal of creating a new spoon every day for the year, but also accumulated an active Instagram following.

#1

The path of life was actually quite predictable for Nik Wallenda. He had intuitively done everything right to succeed with a plan of action. He was born into a family of circus performers, and had been trained to do something that could kill him at any moment.

#2

The seven forces that support the ability to stick with plans are: change your personality, become like those people with extraordinary willpower, develop your presence, or fire yourself up to want something so passionately that you will overcome all difficulties in your path.

#3

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) didn’t help Josh’s inability to follow through with things. He was easily distracted, and even small tasks like sending an email took more than an hour.

#4

Josh started a project called 365 Spoons, where he crafted a different wooden spoon every day and shared it online with his followers. He not only completed his goal of creating a new spoon every day for the year, but also accumulated an active Instagram following.

#5

I was able to use the same principles to impact the behavior of others. I created a new approach to delivering financial education online, and today it has nearly twenty thousand viewers.

#6

I wanted to make new friends at Stanford, but also to maintain strong relationships with my old friends from Southern California. I was finding it difficult to juggle both of these things.

#7

The Science of Change is a book that brings together classic and cutting-edge research to demonstrate how change occurs in all human behavior. It provides a simple two-step model for creating lasting change: first, identify whether the behavior you’re trying to change is an A, B, or C behavior. Second, use the forces needed to change that type of behavior.

#8

The seven forces of lasting change are: 1) your goals, 2) your wants, 3) your needs, 4) your values, 5) your skills, 6) your resources, and 7) your commitment. You can use these forces to get yourself to stick with things you want to do, and you can use them to help others stick with things.

#9

The mind controls behavior, but it is the actions that are being controlled. People need to change their actions and their minds will follow.

#10

The human brain yearns to be efficient. It is designed so that people use the smallest amount of effort or thought to do things. If you see, hear, or smell something repeatedly, your brain will store this information so you can recognize it quickly and retrieve it again without having to think.

#11

The exercises in each chapter are designed to help you apply what you’ve learned. Think about a behavior in your life or business that you want to change, and then apply what you’ve learned to change it.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

The road map to success is wrong. It says to focus on the endgame, but that’s not how it works. You have to focus on each small step forward. That approach gets you through college at the top of your class.

#2

The lesson isn’t to give up on dreaming and just do it. That won’t work, either. People need more than dreams to make lasting change.

#3

The first step is the most important. Focus on achieving that first little step. Take time to reflect on your progress, and then repeat. With Olivier’s advice, I made it up the first ladder.

#4

The concept of stepladders is easy to understand, but it’s not so easy to do in practice. It’s hard to get excited about planning little steps toward your goal. It’s more exciting to dream big.

#5

The concept of small is subjective. If you ask five people to list all the small steps needed to accomplish a particular task, each person will come up with differently sized steps to accomplish the same thing.

#6

Plans to get others to do things work in a similar way. When people plan their steps to keep exercising or eat healthier foods, the size of their steps will change depending on what they’re trying to accomplish.
