Summary
Habits that bend don’t break.
Why do so many sincere attempts to build good habits fail?
We try our best to be consistent, but some days are better than others. Inevitably, we fail when "life happens", because each day we try to hit the same targets regardless of the situations we face. How, then, can we make our habits more resilient to the turbulence of life?
By making them elastic.
Most people associate "elastic" with yoga pants and rubber bands. But the word also means "resilient" - the ability to withstand pressure. Elastic materials are far more durable than rigid and brittle ones, which will shatter under pressure. The same is true for habits.
A traditional habit is unchanging: The same behavior is done at the same time to the same level every day. It works well until the pressures of modern life break its rigid and brittle shell. Elastic habits are fluid: They can change their form and intensity to suit each unique day. They survive busy, tired, bad days. They thrive in better days.
A standard habit has one win condition. An elastic habit has nine. If traditional habits are a hammer, elastic habits are your grandfather’s garage. When you’re working on a house project, it’s not a burden to have a hammer, a wrench, and a screwdriver - you just select the one you need when you need it. Elastic habits are the same.
If you’re tired of the repetitive and exhausting grind to develop good habits, it’s time to give your habits the refreshing superpower of elasticity. Listen to Elastic Habits now, and you’ll soon discover the life-changing difference of good habits that adapt to your day.

Good but probably better as a book [for me]
I was given a free copy by the author for review, thank you :)
The good points:
some interesting ideas on expanding the mini habits concept. adding variations and a more playful approach. These modifications enhance the mini-habit concepts and I think
Based on the audio, I have added the paperback to my amazon wish list :)
The bad points:
When we got into the finer details of the system, I would have preferred to have the information in front of me. I think ideas behind the approach are great, but I just think they would be better presented on the page rather than audio. Going back for reference will not be as easy as a bookmarked physical copy.
Bottom line:
For this type of audiobook, the physical book format is probably for me. If you prefer audiobooks for learning [rather than novels/entertainment] then yes, I would recommend the audiobook as I think the content is worth it.

I didn’t know how I needed this
Honestly, this is exactly the system that I have been seeking for, and it’s the one that best suits my needs. At first, it took me a while to comprehend what the system was going to be like, from a practical point of view, but when examples were introduced, I realised I was already practising a similar practice approach in one of my daily habits. This was recommended to me by a friend who also applies the elastic habits system. All in all, great and definitely mind-changing and eye-opening, and I can’t wait to see the long term results
