How to Leverage Two Laws of Persuasion Psychology To Trick Yourself Into Doing What You Don’t Want To Do

Key Takeaways

Curate your environment and peer group to leverage the law of conformity—surrounding yourself with high performers pulls your behavior upward.

Use the law of consistency by making public commitments and “I am” statements to align identity with actions and increase follow-through.

Apply tactical cues—stand tall, smile during hard tasks, and change your language—to subtly shift beliefs and behaviors in the desired direction.

Top Quotes

Your peer group is influencing you, whether you know it or not, whether you like it or not, whether you're choosing it or not.

Use the law of consistency. Use the law of conformity to your advantage.
