Change the little things. We all often get so caught up in changing the big things. We need to be more successful, we need to do more charity work, we need to be a better parent. But you know where the big changes originate from? A multitude of smaller changes.In comes this guide with 101 ways to better yourself, simply, in steps anyone can follow- and y can start today. I've been on a 'self-help' book kick lately. I go through phases where I just feel I need some motivation to be the best person I can be. What better motivation than a book that gives me tips to be a bit better?Habit Flip is a pretty quick read, but it will have you delving back for more. I've found myself rereading this book many times, reminding myself of different ideas it bestowed upon me. I mean, with 101 ways to better yourself- we're bound to forget a few, aren't we? So rather than losing those in the back of my mind, I took a different approach. After my first time reading the book I picked out just 5 things that I could work on. 5 Tips to better myself. A week later I added another five. And to this day I'm still picking out 5 to work on. Some take practice, others click right away. But all can be accomplished with a few simple steps. No need to go out and spend thousands of dollars. Just make a few small changes, and the bigger changes will follow.I always knew that the big picture, starting with a small stroke of a paint brush. So needless to say paying attention to the smaller details in my life would help me better the bigger details. And it's working. I feel way more motivated, happy, and content since following a few of the steps in this book. And I hope within the next year or so I can manage to implement almost all of the steps into my life. They're easy and they're steps everyone can follow.Whether this is the first self-help book you've read, or the one hundredth, I can promise you'll benefit from it in some way. I'm glad I own it, and I return to it often. I find myself continually reminded that habits do make difference in how good of a person I am. And bettering the little things, changes the big things too!
