Summary

In this episode of Bulletproof Radio, my guest is someone who has cracked the code on a fundamental part of how human behavior works when it comes to forming new habits.

Behavior scientist BJ Fogg, Ph.D., founded the Behavior Design Lab at Stanford University and is considered the leading scientific authority on habits.

“It really is surprising to people how quickly you can form habits,” BJ says, “and there are certain habits that have this transformative impact on you.” There's one habit in particular, called the Maui habit, that he suggests for absolutely everyone. Keep listening to find out how to do it!

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.

This is going to be the episode that sets you on the path to creating habits that last. Why? Because BJ will introduce you to the science behind forming “Tiny Habits: The Small Changes that Change Everything ” and give you the tools you need to hack your own behavior.

“The book does two things at once,” BJ says. “It defines what behavior design is and gives the models and methods of behavior design. Then more specifically, it walks people through step-by-step tiny habits so people can create habits quickly and easily.”

Enjoy the show!

0:00.0	I remember exactly where I was sitting, how it struck me, and my reaction was, okay, this
0:08.4	tiny habit thing, this quirky little thing I've been doing, needs to not just be, you
0:13.0	know, BJ's side research project. I need to bring this out in a bigger way because then
0:19.5	I started reading people's emails differently and I understood that this was really common.
0:26.0	I called self-trash talk all the time. They beat themselves up and I think it's the first
0:32.7	paragraph in my book where I say, that's not helping you, it's not your fault and this
0:37.8	book's about helping you do it in a way that you feel good. And shame and self-trash talk
0:43.2	has no role in the best way to transform your life.
0:46.9	Bulletin proof radio, a state of high performance.
0:56.4	You're listening to Bulletin proof radio with Dave Asprey. I was grabbing a danger coffee
1:01.4	with my friend the other day and out of the blue he said, Dave, what do you do for your
1:05.0	skin? I left it first because it's not like I have a complex skincare routine. But I
1:09.8	do know that my skin is the largest organ in my body and it is the first line of defense
1:15.7	against the world and it's really permeable if you don't take care of it. So I do take
1:19.9	care of my skin. And one of the few things that I found that works noticeably is timelines
1:24.2	skin health line. That's because timeline uses a fascinating new ingredient that invented
1:29.7	called myto purer that you've heard about on the show. It's clinically improvement to
1:34.5	support your cell's ability to make energy. So you have healthier younger looking skin,
1:39.6	which takes energy. One of the things that makes timelines stand out to me is that there
1:43.5	are lots of rigorous clinical trials showing that it works systemically and it works specifically
1:48.9	on your skin. It's made a big difference in how my skin looks and feels. So pay attention
1:54.0	to your skin because it's an organ and you want all your organs to work right. Check
