You've written one of the best-selling books in history about habits because
00:00:04
people always need more practical help with implementing their habits. And I have different strategies and different
00:00:11
tools to get habits to stick, including one principle that is probably the single most important for building
00:00:16
habits. But so much of it is about mastering the art of getting started. >> Let's get started then.
00:00:21
>> So there are four different stages that every habit goes through. Q, craving,
00:00:25
response, and reward. So, first we want to make it obvious. [music] Easier it is
00:00:28

00:00:56
current habit is you make a cup of coffee and the new habit that you want to build is you want to start
00:01:00
meditating. So then you could say all right after I make my morning cup of coffee I will meditate for 60 seconds
00:01:06
and you can do it for anything. There's also a framework that I call hats haircuts and tattoos the secret to
00:01:11
winning habit shaping and real lesson of getting 1% better every day. And we can
00:01:15
talk about all of them but is there any frameworks any tactics if you're trying
00:01:18
to break a habit? If you want to break a bad habit, there's some things that you
00:01:22
