An insightful guide that shows how habits of behavior are
formed, and how we can transform bad habits into positive
behaviors in ourselves and others.
Smart
Change explores the psychological mechanisms that form
and maintain habits in individuals and groups and offers
real, accessible and actionable advice for changing habits.
In an engaging narrative, Markman covers a wide range of
habits, from individual behaviors like eating better and
exercising regularly to work-related behaviors such as
learning effectively and influencing customers’ purchases.
He proposes that there are five effective tools to help
individuals change behavior and to help people influence the
habits of the people around them:
1. Tame the “Go”
system: Identify the triggers of habits, replace old
behaviors with new ones and generate specific plans to deal
with obstacles.
2. Harness the “Stop” system: Learn to
deal with stress and other factors that hinder the
development of new and positive habits.
3. Optimize your
goals. Determine the course of behavior change and how to
successfully incorporate those changes for the long
term.
4. Manage your environment: Change your
surroundings to dramatically reduce poor behavior and
habits.
5. Engage your Neighbors: To affect other
people’s behavior, understand the shared culture that
creates a mutual dependency, and allows neighbors and
colleagues to have a profound positive influence on the
behavior of other members of their community.
