Think Small
Book • 2017
Think Small, written by Owain Service and Rory Gallagher, translates behavioural science methods from public policy into everyday tools for personal change.
The book explains how tiny adjustments — commitment devices, implementation intentions, and environmental nudges — can overcome procrastination and competing present versus future preferences.
Through examples and experiments, the authors show how public‑policy tested ideas can help with exercise, saving, and improving decision making.
It emphasizes simple, actionable steps that make making good choices easier without relying on raw willpower.
The book draws on the authors' experience at the Behavioural Insights Team and research evidence to support its recommendations.
