Tiny surprises for happiness and health | BJ Fogg, PhD | TEDxMaui

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Behavior scientist and expert on habit formation BJ Fogg shares "The Maui Habit", the one "tiny habit" he says is the most powerful and most effective to come from his work at Stanford’s Persuasive Tech Lab. You'll be surprised how simple it is!
Behavior scientist, expert on habit formation, founder of Stanford’s Persuasive Tech Lab, one of Fortune’s “10 new gurus you should know.”
BJ Fogg, PhD directs the Behavior Design Lab at Stanford University. An experimental psychologist, BJ creates groundbreaking models and methods for changing human behavior.
Each year, BJ designs a new course to teach at Stanford, with topics ranging from mobile persuasion to health habits. His former students have created many successful companies, including Pulse (acquired by LinkedIn) and Instagram (acquired by Facebook).
BJ is the author of Persuasive Technology: Using Computers to Change What We Think and Do, the first book to explain how technology can be designed to influence people. Fortune selected him as one of 10 “New Gurus You Should Know.”
Over the last three years, BJ has personally coached more than 20,000 people, using a simple and effective method called “Tiny Habits.”
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

    I know you see one of these comments on every TEDx talk, but this has been the most life-changing talk I've ever seen. I've incorporated the "Tiny Habits" method to PHENOMENAL success in the past few months. Highly recommend watching it and highly recommend BJ Fogg's book. You won't regret it.

    Thank you, so helpful and simple! Did you wonder where our perfection anxiety came from? I think it came from the old Judaic/Christian notion of God as judge, of studying kinds of sin, all that. Thank God more and more of us have bigger and better concepts of God as Source, as the Force, as Love, as the One "in Whom we live and love and have our being, as Consciousness." Mary Feagan

    Hi, I'm Jeff and I'm STILL alcoholic? AA uses a negative statement, which is that they still are "Alcoholics", even when it is a past tense, for most of the AA members. Even when they have been abstinent for day or a decade, concentrating on "I'm an Alcoholic" always points a person to a Repeated Self Defeating behavior Pattern , as a result, doing the same things, saying the same things, the same pattern is repeated over many years and usually gets worse. I'm not saying that the whole AA program is negative, I'm sure it helped many believers.
