NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - For anyone looking to rebuild old
habits, form new ones, or start all over, this instant classic
"masterfully combines cutting-edge research and captivating stories to
reveal how habits shape our lives and how we can shape our habits"
(Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive).
Named One of the Best Books of the Year by The Wall Street Journal and
Financial Times
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.
