Summary

Habits form the base of your life. So the more you can form habits that manage and automate your day and power your decisions, the more brain space you free up for creativity and bigger thinking.

If you enjoy this special episode with BJ and James, listen to their full Bulletproof Radio podcasts:

The Simplicity of Tiny Habits Will Change Your Life – BJ Fogg, Ph.D. – #662

Behavior scientist BJ Fogg, Ph.D., founded the Behavior Design Lab at Stanford University and is considered the leading scientific authority on habits. His behavior model is easy to learn and easy to apply to everyday life… and doesn’t include willpower. “The thing that wires a habit in is not repetition,” BJ says, “it’s the emotion you feel when you do the behavior.” He explains that behavior happens when three elements come together at the same moment: motivation, ability, and a prompt.
BJ introduces you to the science behind habit formation in his book, “Tiny Habits: The Small Changes that Change Everything ”

Use Atomic Habits to Upgrade Your Decisions – James Clear – #645

Writer James Clear researches habits in the context of human potential, continuous improvement and decision-making. “Your habits compound over time as they start to layer on top of each other and increase over time,” James says. “But your decisions—if you imagine your life is like a string of decisions—those decisions can compound for you or against you, too. The benefit of making a single good choice is fine, but the benefit of making a string of good choices can be significantly better. You’re really trying to string those two together.”
James book, “Atomic Habits: An Easy and Proven Way to Build Good Habits and Break Bad Ones,” details how habits can shape your life and is a go-to resource for Fortune 500 companies and professional sports teams.

0:00.0	Do you ever find yourself in the habit of listening to Bulletproof Radio?
0:03.0	Well, I don't.
0:04.0	I find myself in the habit of recording episodes of Bulletproof Radio and thinking about what
0:08.8	I can do to make it more valuable for you.
0:11.4	And it turns out Habits are one of those things because Habits allow us to automate what
0:16.7	we're doing.
0:17.7	The problem is that we don't really know how to make Habits stick, except there are a
0:22.7	couple people out there who have studied this for many, many years and I've brought them

0:39.2	Our first guest today is Behavioral Scientist BJ Fog, PhD, who cracked the code on a fundamental
0:44.4	part of how human behavior works when it comes to forming new habits.
0:48.8	And he says straight up, don't rely on willpower or repetition, which is exactly what I used
0:53.9	to do.
0:54.9	Instead, he teaches us to lean into the emotion you feel when you do the behavior and to actually
1:00.2	change it.
