About this listen
No time to read? Get the main key insights from this summary of Katy Milkman’s How to Change in just a short listen.
A few key insights from Chapter 1:
1. The stubborn persistence of unhealthy or unproductive behavior is common today. This includes habits such as smoking, lack of physical activity, and terrible diets. Simply telling people that change is easy, cheap, and beneficial will not work. Effectively promoting behavior change requires understanding when to begin.
2. People get discouraged when adopting healthy habits requires rearranging busy lives and entrenched routines. This limits their openness to change. Even if a habit can mean the difference between life and death, people will simply ignore it. A fresh start allows us to keep old habits from working against us.
3. The problem with a fresh start is that it is rare, as all of the behaviors that we wish to change are daily, customary, and wound into our well-established routines. However, it is not hopeless, but not an easy process either. A fresh start helps people become open to change.
4. One time when people feel especially ready to change is around New Year's Eve, as they have a sense of a fresh start. The challenge here is to identify other moments that provoke a similar reaction, and understand how and why they motivate us to change.

Change comes most readily when you understand what's standing between you and success and tailor your solution to that roadblock. If you want to work out more but find exercise difficult and boring, downloading a goal-setting app probably won't help. But what if, instead, you transformed your workouts so they became a source of pleasure instead of a chore? Turning an uphill battle into a downhill one is the key to success.

What keeps most people from success is not their lack of skills or ability, but other factors that can create obstacles that prevent you from reaching your fullest potential: Procrastination, low self-esteem, toxic thinking, and negative situations among many other factors can have a major impact on how well we progress and achieve in life. Perfectionism is another obstacle that can stand in the way of moving forward, while failure and imperfections can help us lead a path to a lot more success than imagined.

When mystery author D. B. Ziegler is late delivering her book, Abi Schore steps in to help. Surely she can give her favorite author moral support over the holiday break and get the manuscript to her boss at Tea & Sympathy Publishing in time for the new year. When Abi shows up on Ms. Ziegler’s doorstep bearing holiday treats, she’s met by the author’s handsome grandson Dov, who reveals a startling plot twist.

Story
Living in a year around Christmas town has its drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears. It's why I like to hibernate away in my cave - I mean housekeeping a healthy distance from the holly jolly spirits. And all was going according to plan until my nemesis, Storee Taylor, moved in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

Story
Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.
