Atomic Habits day 80

Song: Untouchable Pt. 2 by Anathema

--------------------------------------------------

Join a culture where (1) your desired behavior is the normal

behavior and (2) you already have something in common with the

group. Steve Kamb, an entrepreneur in New York City, runs a company

called Nerd Fitness, which “helps nerds, misfits, and mutants lose

weight, get strong, and get healthy.” His clients include video game

lovers, movie fanatics, and average Joes who want to get in shape.

Many people feel out of place the first time they go to the gym or try to

change their diet, but if you are already similar to the other members

of the group in some way—say, your mutual love of Star Wars—change

becomes more appealing because it feels like something people like

you already do.

Nothing sustains motivation better than belonging to the tribe. It

transforms a personal quest into a shared one. Previously, you were on

your own. Your identity was singular. You are a reader. You are a

musician. You are an athlete. When you join a book club or a band or a

cycling group, your identity becomes linked to those around you.

Growth and change is no longer an individual pursuit. We are readers.

We are musicians. We are cyclists. The shared identity begins to

reinforce your personal identity. This is why remaining part of a group

after achieving a goal is crucial to maintaining your habits. It’s

friendship and community that embed a new identity and help

behaviors last over the long run.

2. Imitating the Many

In the 1950s, psychologist Solomon Asch conducted a series of

experiments that are now taught to legions of undergrads each year. To

begin each experiment, the subject entered the room with a group of

strangers. Unbeknownst to them, the other participants were actors

planted by the researcher and instructed to deliver scripted answers to

certain questions.

The group would be shown one card with a line on it and then a

second card with a series of lines. Each person was asked to select the

line on the second card that was similar in length to the line on the first

card. It was a very simple task. Here is an example of two cards used in

the experiment
