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.

I'm a mini habits convert
If you could sum up Mini Habits in three words, what would they be?
Life Changing System
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It has already changed my life
Any additional comments?
I've tried a dozen self-help books and none have delivered. Mini Habits is so simple and easy, yet makes complete sense and even though I have only been doing the system for a short amount of time, I have already seen results beyond anything I've tried before. If you procrastinate horribly or just want to change your life for the better, then look no further.

Fascinating and helpful
I'm glad I persevered with this book despite the off-putting style of narration. To my British ear the narrator sounds like a game-show host! It draws on neuroscience to chart a course through the frustrating world of trying to build good habits and to explain why my previous efforts have been so ineffective!
I'm only halfway through the book but if it continues to be this good I think it's going to be a HUGE help.

enjoyable listen with a good message
Would you try another book written by Stephen Guise or narrated by Daniel Penz?
probably
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
bearing in mind this is non-fiction I would say alternative examples could be given as the text is sometimes very repetitive .
Could you see Mini Habits being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?
n/a
Any additional comments?
This had a very good message and presented a far more realistic approach to achieving goals/changing your life etc. It was however very repetitive and would have easily made a much smaller book. There seemed to be a lot of elaboration on ideas that was not really necessary.Having said that it was a good listen!

Excellent
Had actually done some work prior to this book on small habits but it's certainly the way to go for coaches or clients both.
The brain does not like change so we must do regular small changes often to achieve new things - definitely worth a listen

Amazing. Definitely worth a read
It’s a very simple concept but it’s very eloquently explained. It makes a case to try out very simple actions and trick our brain into excepting the habit. A Brilliant strategy for procrastination.
I way I see it .....

Useful
Simple life advice, once you think about it. Get into a habit of doing something and before you know it, it's like as normal as going to the toilet.
