SMALL MOVE, BIG CHANGE Using Microsolutions to Transform Your Life Permanently

The genius of this useful audiobook by a savvy New York tech executive is how her one-behavior-at-a-time method stops the cycle of self-criticism we feel when we’re failing at major resolutions we’ve committed to. The resolute tone of Soneela Nankani’s delivery makes this advice sound important and worthy of consideration. But it’s her sweetness that softens listeners and helps them stay connected to the power of these simple ideas. With solid science and engaging personal stories, the author shows how changing one habit (keep track of car keys) works better than broader goals (stop being late for work). By succeeding with discrete changes, we put them on automatic pilot, which stops energy-draining daily struggles and allows us to enjoy little successes as we move toward the larger shifts we desire.
