BJ Fogg: The Power of Tiny Habits in Behavioral Change

I think when it comes to behavior change, the most important thing to design for is the emotional response, and the emotional response of feeling successful leads to a whole bunch of other positive outcomes that really, in my teaching and training, both at Stanford and outside is to help people understand the importance of helping people feel successful in their quest to change.
Ever wondered how the smallest changes can make the biggest difference in your life? In this episode of Harm Reduction Radio, Kenneth Anderson sits down with BJ Fogg, Ph.D., from Stanford University, to discuss his groundbreaking 'tiny changes' model of behavioral change. Fogg's approach is all about starting small—think baby steps—and building on those little victories to create lasting habits. It's like rearranging your living room; sometimes moving a single piece of furniture can transform the whole space.
Fogg dives into the mechanics of behavior change, emphasizing the importance of sequencing these 'tiny habits' in a way that makes them stick. He explains how designing products and programs that focus on emotional responses and the feeling of success can genuinely help people change their behavior. It's not just about willpower; it's about setting yourself up for success with the right triggers and environment. Throughout the conversation, Fogg also touches on the importance of self-compassion.
Forgiving yourself for slip-ups and understanding that change is a process can make all the difference. He breaks down the roles of motivation, ability, and triggers, showing how these elements interact to create sustainable behavior change. Whether you're looking to cut down on drinking, improve your health, or make any other positive change, Fogg's insights offer practical and engaging strategies that anyone can apply.
Tune in for an episode packed with wisdom and actionable advice that will leave you feeling ready to make your own tiny changes.
