A WALL STREET JOURNAL AND FINANCIAL TIMES BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR

In The Power of Habit, award-winning business reporter Charles Duhigg takes us to the thrilling edge of scientific discoveries that explain why habits exist and how they can be changed. Distilling vast amounts of information into engrossing narratives that take us from the boardrooms of Procter & Gamble to the sidelines of the NFL to the front lines of the civil rights movement, Duhigg presents a whole new understanding of human nature and its potential. At its core, The Power of Habit contains an exhilarating argument: The key to exercising regularly, losing weight, being more productive, and achieving success is understanding how habits work. As Duhigg shows, by harnessing this new science, we can transform our businesses, our communities, and our lives.

Great book

Can be life changing, if you allow yourself to change positively !! You won’t regret, trust me

Really felt a few chapters connected to me!

Thank you for this great book and the stories you shared. I loved the Starbucks chapter.

Casual changes to your habita that will make life better

A good book that shows how habits work in the brain and how to change stuff you want about yourself and your life.
Its so important as small stuff pile up and become really important

Habits are 100% of Our Decisions

Great book. My take away. Identify the cue that kicks that routine and delivers the reward I do not want! I have work to do. Thanks for providing a template to move forward.

The end of the book. Charles’ honesty.

The information was helpful for change I am implementing. However, the afterward was the most powerful because Charles was honest about where he started. Not as an expert, but a learner who took control of his life.
