Four laws of behavior change are principles for designing better HabitHabit
A habit is a behavior that is performed regularly, sometimes automatically, often unconciously.

Each law of behavior change is tied to one stage of Habit Feedback LoopHabit Feedback Loop
[[Habit]] feedback loop is a model of the mental process that allows habits to be formed and maintained.
The habit feedback loop consists of four stages:
Cue
Craving
Response
Reward
Fou..., telling us how to optimize this part of the habit cycle to reduce the friction and increase the likelihood that a habit will be formed. Following through with all four laws is critical, as a failure at any stage breaks the habit loop. The four stages and their corresponding laws are:
Cue

The first of the [[The Four Laws of Behavior Change]] is to make cues to your desired habits more obvious.
Every [[Habit]] starts with a cue (see [[Habit Feedback Loop]]), so in order to ensure we...Craving

Each law also has its inverse law, which can be applied to introduce friction into the four stages of undesired habits, helping us break them.
