I've just finished reading Switch
by the Heath brothers and I would highly recommend it. Very good story telling and very broad references.
A quick summary (using different words):
Identify What to Change To
Motivate the Change
- See-Feel-Change over Analyse-Think-Change
- Shrink the change. Aka the change sparcity principle: Do not change faster or more than necessary.
- Cultivate identity and a growth mindset. See also Mindset
.
Shape the Environment - Change the behaviour by changing the situation. See also Influencer
. - Encourage habits using action triggers
- Cultivate social motivation and support
