Not as obvious as you think: One Small Step

This book is titled One Small Step Can Change Your Life, and it's better than you might think. In fact, I read it over six months ago, maybe longer, but I find myself using its key ideas more than I would have thought. And I would bet that any time I were to dip into it, the ideas and examples would prove useful.
The key idea is that a secret to achieving goals or making changes in your life is to break them down into the smallest possible steps--the very smallest. The author, Robert Maurer, teaches at U.C. L.A. Medical School. Many of his examples are related to health, but he applies his theory to solving all kinds of problems.
It would be easy to respond to this book with yes, of course; you think we are idiots. Isn't it common sense to break a process into steps, even to see problem solving and change as a process? But if you think of the number of things you'd like to do or the changes you'd like to make and don't, you might be more impressed. And when you read his analysis of why small steps are so appealing, even seductive, thus effective, you may want to try out his theory. His stories are inspirational and convincing.
I recommend this book highly.
Now the smallest step you can take is write down the title and author.
