Podcast – The Science of Tiny Habits, with BJ Fogg – Replay

By learning and putting good new habits into place, we become happier, attract quality people, and our lives just all-around feel better! If that’s something you’re looking for, then you’re going to be obsessed with my guest today: BJ Fogg (author of Tiny Habits, professor at Stanford University, and founder of The Behavior Design Lab). I totally geeked out over his book and, not to mention, fell completely in love with him during this interview. I have a feeling you will, too!

You’ll find out…
