The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business

Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • This instant classic explores how we can change
our lives by changing our habits. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY
The Wall Street Journal • Financial Times In The Power of Habit, award-winning
business reporterCharles 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. With a new Afterword
by the author “Sharp, provocative, and useful.”—Jim Collins “Few [books] become essential manuals for business and living. The Power of Habit is an
exception. Charles Duhigg not only explains how habits are formed but how to
kick bad ones and hang on to the good.”—Financial Times “A flat-out great
read.”—David Allen, bestselling author of Getting Things Done: The Art of
Stress-Free Productivity “You’ll never look at yourself, your organization, or
your world quite the same way.”—Daniel H. Pink, bestselling author of Drive
and A Whole New Mind “Entertaining . . . enjoyable . . . fascinating . . . a
serious look at the science of habit formation and change.”—The New York Times
