Publisher's Summary
One afternoon - after another failed attempt to get motivated to exercise - I (accidentally) started my first mini habit. I initially committed to do one push-up, and it turned into a full workout. I was shocked. This "stupid idea" wasn't supposed to work. I was shocked again when my success with this strategy continued for months (and to this day). I had to consider that maybe I wasn't the problem in those 10 years of mediocre results. Maybe it was my prior strategies that were ineffective, despite being oft-repeated as "the way to change" in countless books and blogs.
I was right.
Is there a scientific explanation for this?
As I sought understanding, I found a plethora of scientific studies that had answers, with nobody to interpret them correctly. Based on the science - which you'll find peppered throughout Mini Habits - we've been doing it all wrong.
You can succeed without the guilt, intimidation, and repeated failure associated with such strategies as "getting motivated," New Year's Resolutions, or even "just doing it." In fact, you need to stop using those strategies if they aren't giving you great results. They don't work because they all require you to fight against your subconscious brain (a fight not easily won). It's only when you start playing by your brain's rules and taking your human limitations seriously--as mini habits show you how to do - that you can achieve lasting change.

Great content, monotone narrator
This book has great strategies to build habits. It just a shame that Daniel Penz’s voice is so monotone.
I have implemented the steps to regain a healthy lifestyle and reduce my fatigue levels by starting 3 mini habits. 1 glass of water each day, 1 minute of Cardio and to crochet 5 stitches every day. These are so achievable that I am able to do them everyday and exceed them on most days. I have been doing this for almost 3 weeks and starting to see the benefits in other areas of my life too.

Marvellous Absolutely Marvellous
This book is Exactly what I needed. It's the secret sauce to getting motivated even when you have depression. The book is short but it covers everything you need in order to get started. The information in this book is life changing, I've read over 13 books on discipline and this is in the top 5. Buy this book, you won't regret it. I also recommend his other book "How to be an Imperfectionist" both are amazing books. I've read over 89 self help books and this is in the top 15. Golden Master Piece, Buy the book you won't regret it.

wish I had this book years ago!
This book has been a great help to me, making goals small enough to achieve within daily life and not being an inconvenience.

Loved it!
Perfect for those of us who have always side-eyed weird 'motivation gurus'
Simple way to get things done, no matter how you feel in the moment.

Good, but could’ve been shorter
I did really enjoy the concept of this book and I’ve experienced success with mini habits before. Even though it’s a short book, it was repetitive, so could’ve been even shorter. It would’ve made a good TED talk. Also- the narrator is good, but his pronunciation makes it sound like he’s saying ‘many habits’ instead of ‘mini habits’, which was distracting. Worth a listen, though.
