Faguan is a book that is not written according to routines. It has a lot of knowledge, a clear historical context, and a profound analysis of human nature. It is worth reading calmly.

















































































The content of this book is very useful. It can help us develop good habits in the long term. The most important thing is that it can improve our self-control and make things simple and easy. This is a highly efficient way to gain maximum benefits in the shortest time.
Mini Habits is a very good book. The content is small but concise. You can read it in a while. I really benefited a lot. I am also using Mini Habits now. In fact, as I read it, I resonated with the author. I feel that I have used the mini habits strategy before, but I just didn't have this concept. Start with simple things, and you can get unexpected results beyond your expectations! Just start with very simple and simple things (mini habits)! I hope that you, and all of you who are reading this, can become the selves you want and like!
The core content is really good. It's worth reading this book based on your own experience. I think the core point of the book is to use mini habits (goals that are easy to accomplish) to trick the brain into completing it, because if your goal is relatively high, you may take into account other things, thereby increasing resistance and reducing the sense of need. But if you slowly trick the brain - it's not a big deal, step by step you will find the fun of what you are doing or that your need for this thing is stronger than other needs (positive feedback) - this is the formation of a habit. The points of willpower and motivation mentioned in the book are also worth mentioning. I think they all revolve around needs. When you want to create a need for something, you will generate motivation to push yourself to complete the goal. So it gives me the feeling that less willpower is used to stimulate motivation (positive feedback)! This book teaches me how to use less willpower to stimulate motivation, set up mini habits, and slowly see certain effects and boost motivation.
A good book that can be used in practical applications, not the kind of "chicken soup" that is full of nonsense and makes you feel lonely after reading it.
It's a very good book. I benefited a lot after reading it. I suddenly found that the bunch of goals I set before really forced my brain a bit, and I was so moved after completing them. The result was "tired" and I was constantly fighting against my willpower. I don't know why, but after reading this book, I suddenly had some hope of success. I felt that the author's analysis was very accurate. I thought I should change my thinking and use another method.
This is a very reasonable book. It is not chicken soup for the soul. It has corresponding scientific principles. Through the cultivation of small habits, less willpower is consumed, so that daily habits can be adhered to, self-efficacy can be established, and ambitious goals can be achieved. This is also in line with the Chinese philosophy. If you don't accumulate small steps, you can't reach a thousand miles, and if you don't accumulate small streams, you can't build a river! Every step you take is meaningful💪('ω'💪)
It has been almost a month, and it has been found to be useful in actual tests. It is much better than the so-called time management books that were written in my childhood and are so-called time management. I am shocked at first glance. I wish all book friends to make progress together and achieve their goals [currently in progress]
This book can think about the problem from many aspects and angles. And it is practical and worthy of praise. It allows people to learn to "take the first step". This method can be applied to achieve goals in reality [Like] [Like] [Like] [Like] You can also think from another aspect. Break down difficult problems into small problems and complete them over time. Then all the goals can be completed.
It's a really good book. Recommended for people who lack willpower but have a big heart. Before reading this book, I seemed to have some small habits, such as writing a diary every day, but I did not ask myself to write much, but asked myself to write; even reading and memorizing were the same. When I was staying at school, I often brought books back to the dormitory to compete with the dormitory aunt. Every night was thrilling. Oh, it's strange to say that I used to think that poetry and distant places were just chicken soup, but now it has become a belief deep in my heart. It seems that when I was watching people who are better than me standing on the stage, I may have been positively influenced by good habits. All in all, this is a book I read when I returned home after firm belief. Again, this book is good.
Two hours and 25 minutes, three days, I learned a good new knowledge.
The conclusion of this book is very accurate: "A single spark can start a prairie fire." It also gave me a deeper understanding of this sentence. From the previous books, I discovered that I am "ambitious but insufficient, a giant in thought and a dwarf in action" and from this book I learned how to break through these limitations of thinking: "Start with small actions." This is not only the enlightenment of this book for me, but also the greatest gain from reading it. Come on, I will be even better in the future!
It's very practical, unlike some books where what is said is the same as what is not said (although it makes sense) [laughs awkwardly]
20 Date: 2026/2/10~2026/3/6 Book Title: "Mini Habits: Self-Management Rules That Are So Simple That You Can't Fail" Author: Stephen Gass (USA) Word count: 61,000 words Time taken: 2.5 Hours core Enforce a small step every day that is so small that it is impossible to fail, use micro-actions to trick the brain, bypass resistance, and protect willpower. Why it works 1. Repetition + reward = habit (the brain relies more on habits during times of stress) 2. Motivation is unreliable: emotions are changeable and cannot be used as a basis for action 3. Willpower is reliable but limited: five major factors such as effort, perceived difficulty, negative emotions, subjective fatigue, and blood sugar levels will consume willpower (micro-steps can minimize the consumption of these five factors) Eight-step implementation method 1. Select: List "One Incredibly Small Step" 2. Traceability: Use "why" to ask questions to ensure it is an internal need 3. Execution: Clarify the execution time/situation and enter the "execution mentality" 4. Reward: timely reward after completion, associated with positive feelings 5. Recording: handwriting tracking (such as calendar ticks) to maintain continuity 6. Start with micro goals: start with micro goals and naturally enter the excess phase. 7. No expectations: The goal is small, and excess is a surprise rather than an obligation. 8. Identify habits: non-conflict, identification, automatic execution, normalization, even boredom Eight rules 1. Don't deceive yourself: Don't secretly increase your goals 2. Satisfaction with progress: be satisfied, not satisfied 3. Regular rewards: rewards upon completion 4. Clear Mind: Being bored is the key to perseverance 5. If there is resistance, reduce it; if there is resistance, reduce it by half again. 6. Remind yourself easily: self-suggestion reduces difficulty 7. Don't underestimate: Big changes start with small steps 8. Excessive energy use: do more, without setting goals Summary Do one thing every day that is so small that there is no reason to say no, and make "starting" the only thing that needs to be done.
Behavioral guidance book, pointing out the direction, happy life! I hope everyone who loves reading can read it
This is a very good book, mainly because it is concise and practical, taking into account many factors. Small goals that are easy to achieve, in the right direction, overachievement, a relaxed state, huge rewards after achievement, and huge penalties for failure to achieve (in the sense of life). Stick to it for the long haul. Everything is done easily.
This book gave me many perspectives that were different from what I had come across before, and really broadened my thinking and perspective on habits. Not only is the content great, the author's language is concise, approachable, and humorous. During the reading process, you feel like you are talking to a gentle and lovely friend. You feel very happy during the reading process ~ Recommended for anyone who wants to change themselves! Remember: even a small step is a great start!
It's very useful. This is also the first book I've read using mini habits, and it's also the fastest book I've read. It only took me a week, but can you believe that the goal I set for myself a day is to read for only 5 minutes!
This book changed my previous traditional views on habit formation and proposed setting small goals for myself to complete. Because the goals are small enough, they will not trigger the brain's resistance mechanism, so you can easily complete the small goals you set. On the one hand, because the sense of achievement brought by completing the goal will stimulate positive feedback, so that the goal can be persisted and eventually become a habit; on the other hand, because the goal set is small enough, you will involuntarily overfulfill the task every time you complete the goal. Unknowingly, you will discover the surprising changes brought about by this small habit. The book not only talks about the method of setting small goals, but also explains the principles behind it, which is very convincing. Compared with the method of simply using motivation and willpower to form a habit, mini habits do not require willpower and motivation. Even if you are in a very tired state, you can complete it without any energy or motivation. It is a very easy method to develop a habit and stick to it. Overall, this book inspired me a lot and is very useful!
A good book that very well solves the problems of some people who sometimes struggle with bad habits but dare not make changes. In this book, you can see why mini habits are created, as well as the huge changes in good mini habits, how to set mini plans, misunderstandings in setting mini habits, etc. It is a rare and good book.
There is no book that has benefited me the most. Thanks to this book, I have become better and better from a waste. This book is extremely suitable for people who have ideals and goals, are smart but have poor mobility, and have a broken mentality, because the only thing missing for people like us is the last step, and after passing this hurdle, it will be a completely different world. What I really feel now is that I don't have to force myself to do anything. Except for the initial resistance, every good habit process is pleasurable, because the tasks set for myself are extremely simple, and the joy and sense of accomplishment of completing the tasks cannot be described in words. The more I perform the task, the more motivated I become. The more motivated I am, the more I perform the task. Who would have imagined that at first I had to do some mental construction even after getting up and washing up. I am still surprised how a change of idea can have such a magical effect. One last thing, awesome!
Overall it's very good and helpful to people. The only thing that's not so good is that some of the sentences don't make sense and the ideas are confusing. I don't know if it's the author's limited expression ability or the translation level that's not good enough.
Mini habits, this is a good method to implement. Set a minimum unit, that is, a small goal that can be completed as long as you do it. You can exceed the goal, but do not modify the goal, because it can definitely be completed. You will be very happy if you exceed the completion. The important thing is that you will not fail. The examples listed in the article are easy to understand and accept. When you complete quantitative changes to qualitative changes, you will have more motivation to persevere. Worth seeing
Its cases are very real and its theory works. This book has benefited me a lot and I highly recommend it to everyone. This book not only helps us better understand real-life problems but also provides effective solutions. The author's ideas are very clear and his writing is very smooth, making it very comfortable to read. In short, this is a good book worth reading. Don't miss it.
It's a great book. The author proposes a very effective and efficient way to establish habits to change things. Proofs and reasons are given from habits, brain psychological mechanisms, etc., And factual examples are cited to demonstrate and use personal experience. Well, providing this effective method has a great impact on doing things and improving methods. It is very enlightening for people who are in the quagmire or prisoner's dilemma. I have benefited a lot, thank the author.
Mini habits are the key to solving the puzzle. This book subverts my traditional understanding - you must first inspire motivation before you can start doing something. For the past 20 years, I have relied on a motivation-led behavior pattern, and the results are obvious. Every time I persisted in doing it, I failed to "survive". This book completely changed my thinking. Behavior patterns dominated by willpower are truly effective. An incredibly small goal may make me laugh, but it is with such a small start that procrastination is defeated. Willpower holds the torch and leads me to the world of small habits - a new world that gives me a sense of accomplishment and continuously stimulates my potential!
I watched it out of boredom at first, but it slowly attracted me from the moment I touched my nose. The book explains all kinds of thoughts in human nature very well. Read two pages of the book every day, and you will eventually find that it will take an hour after reading these two pages.
I think it is a very practical book. I also followed the steps and suggestions given by the author and wrote about the habits and concentration I want to develop. Otherwise, I could really spend a whole day on Plants vs. Zombies (I don't mean to say he is bad, it's just that I am really obsessed). I hope I can slowly make progress according to the small habits I hope to develop. Success is never a sudden burst, but a long-term accumulation and repetition.
[Full] [Full] I've finished reading this book [Explore] [OK] [Salute] [Thinking] Although this book is about the same thing, but since I don't like to read books repeatedly but am very forgetful, this actually suits my taste, and I don't need to use my brain to read it. It is relaxing [shy] and it satisfies my desire to learn but not to use my brain too much. (Although I skipped a lot of reading at the end [laughing and crying])
A compact, concise and highly practical self-optimization guide for little humans, with root instructions =) "The essence of the mini habit strategy is to get rid of the invisible restrictions and psychological pressure of external conditions such as high expectations, and allow yourself to take action easily. As long as you start taking action, you will have the opportunity to do more. When action becomes a habit, you will unknowingly achieve goals that once seemed elusive."
Very well written and very clear logic. By telling you why you should develop mini habits, the advantages of mini habits compared to traditional habits, and how to cultivate mini habits step by step, it helps people with weak self-control to establish more good habits, ingrain good habits in their daily lives, and get rid of bad habits. It is very beneficial to read, especially suitable for confused people. It encourages us to continue to develop in a good direction.
