With identitybased habits, the focus is on who you wish to become.” “The ultimate form of intrinsic motivation is when a habit becomes part of your identity.” “It is a simple two-step process: Decide the type of person you want to be. Identity is about what you believe.” “With outcome-based habits, the focus is on what you want to achieve. You fall to the level of your systems.” Chapter 2: How Your Habits Shape Your Identity (and Vice Versa) “Changing our habits is challenging for two reasons: (1) we try to change the wrong thing and (2) we try to change our habits in the wrong way.” “There are three layers of behavior change: a change in your outcomes, a change in your processes, or a change in your identity.” “Outcomes are about what you get. Focus on your system instead.” “You do not rise to the level of your goals.
