“You can disrupt a behavior you don’t want by removing the prompt.”.

“No behavior happens without a prompt.”.

This means that your ability to perform that task increases (which will reduce the associated motivation required for the behavior).

Behaviors become easier to do over time via repetition.

If one is weak, the other needs to be strong…”

“Motivation and ability work together like teammates.

“The easier a behavior is to do, the more likely the behavior will become habit.” (Consider this point in the cultivations of both good and bad habits.).

“The harder a behavior is to do, the less likely you are to do it.”.

“When motivation is middling, people will do a behavior only if it’s fairly easy.”.

“The more motivated you are to do a behavior, the more likely you are to do the behavior…when motivation is high, people not only take action when prompted, they can also do difficult things.”.

Prompt is the cue that initiates the behavior.

Ability is your capacity to perform the behavior.

Motivation is your desire to perform the behavior.

Motivation, Ability and a Prompt all converge at the same time to trigger a behavior.

The later chapters could have been trimmed. Pros: The Fogg Behavior Model, B=MAP provides a novel explanation for behavior change.Ĭons: Some of the real-life stories were overly long and tedious. BJ Fogg successfully adds his original insights to the conversation with this standout book. Books on habits and habit formation have proliferated the bestseller lists in recent years (Duhigg’s “Power of Habit” and Clear’s “Atomic Habits” being the most visible examples). Naturally there are interesting implications to explore through the lense of Fogg’s model.įogg’s book is filled with useful, practical ideas. Similarly, in the event that motivation and ability are both low, one would have to actively work to increase one or the other (M or A) in order to initiate a behavior. If motivation is low (and likely to remain low), the individual needs a correspondingly high ability to successfully perform a given behavior. One key observation is that motivation and ability are inversely related. The later chapters of the book expand upon the individual parts of the formula (MAP) through a number of real world examples and anecdotes. As explained by Fogg, in order for a behavior (B) to occur, MAP- that is motivation, ability and a prompt-must all converge at the same time. In its shortened form, it’s referred to as B=MAP. The Fogg Behavior Model is expressed as a short formula: Behavior = Motivation, Ability, and Prompt. The most important insight in the book is the Fogg Behavior Model (I first learned about it in the book Indistractable by Nir Eyal). The author asserts early in the book: “If you want to create long-term change, it’s best to start small.” His reasons for this approach: it’s faster, it requires less motivation and thereby easier, and it’s less prone to failure. Tiny Habits: The Small Changes That Change Everything by BJ Fogg (2020) is book about the transformative power of small actions.
