One Small Step Can Change Your Life

Small steps circumvent the brain's built-in resistance to new behavior, according to this powerful little book. Ask small questions. Think small thoughts. Take small actions. Solve small problems. Bestow small rewards. And achieve extraordinary results. The secret is in the small and unimpressive nature of each effort, which allows us to sneak past alarm bells that get triggered with more grandiose steps.

This book may help you devote just 30 seconds to a new habit or skill, for example, something you might ordinarily consider to be trivial or even silly. Maurer helps us to recognize the power inherent in these humble efforts. Start the ball rolling on a path of small steps and you may be shocked to see where it leads.
