I know that behavior change may seem difficult. The process may seem mysterious. And when you struggle to change, it may seem that building good habits is nearly impossible.

If that’s how you feel, you are not alone. That’s what most people think.

But those people are mistaken.

I have good news for you.

I’ve created this guide to help you understand how human behavior really works. I will explain exactly how you can change behavior in yourself or others.

As you read this Guide, you’ll discover that behavior change is easier than most people think. It’s not mysterious. And you’ll see that it’s entirely possible to change your habits for good. You’ll be happier and healthier.

I’m BJ Fogg. I have coached over 60,000 . . .

And that very popular book Atomic Habits. The author took my course in Tiny Habits and that got him launched on his path. In other words, he learned from me.

I’m delight that you — as a teenager — want to improve your life. And I hope that you want to help other people improve their lives as well. That’s what this Behavior Change Guide is all about.

how you can change behavior without relying on willpower.
