This book breaks down habit change at a very granular level. If you read a lot of productivity content, it may feel repetitive. Also, Foggy has a habit of creating new technology to describe things we already have words for at of they are unique. (A Swarm of Behaviors is just a brainstorm, man.)
Things I found really insightful
- Once you've clarified a general ambition, brainstorm many potential behaviors that could support it and select for the ones that are both impactful and things you'd actually do.
- Cement new habits by immediately creating a positive emotion after performing them
- Rehearse prompt › action › celebration so you can remember the prompt that should trigger the new habit
- Help people do what they want to do. Help people feel successful
- Approach new habit formation with a spirit of experimentation
- Since your start your habits tiny, they can go grow either in intensity or by accumulating more signed behaviors, but keep your momentum going by always accepting the tiny version of the habit as fulfilling the habit.
Readers may find the book a bit repetitive, but most of the repetitions are expansions or variations. Also, the repetitions help clarify how all of the parts of the theory relate.
I can imagine myself reading again for a tune up in a few years
