Think Big: Take Small Steps and Build the Future You Want

In this book the author takes behavioural science and really demonstrates in a really accessible way how it can be used to improve yourself and achieve your goals. While other behavioural science books tend to focus on the societal benefits of behavioural science, this book deconstructs the theory and applies it in ways that are really practical, often inspiring, and can be applied at an individual level. While I was primarily interested in the academic insights and hadn't really thought about really setting personal goals, I found myself reflecting on the exercises and figuring out how I can start applying them to my life.The book has a lot of fresh ideas, and helps reframe older ones in a new context, with examples of how they work in practice that help them stick in your brain. I particularly enjoyed thinking about how omission bias or action bias has been driving some of my choices without realising it.All in all, a really brilliant read! I recommend to everyone who has started thinking about how to achieve their goals and even to those who haven't yet really thought about it!
