Making Habits, Breaking Habits
Making Habits, Breaking Habits, a popular examination of one of the mind's most powerful and underappreciated processes, contains the surprising answers. Although people like to believe they are in control, much of human behavior occurs without any conscious decision-making or thought.
Using hundreds of fascinating studies, psychologist Jeremy Dean finally explains why seemingly simple habits, such as eating an apple a day, can be surprisingly difficult to form, and how to take control of your brain's natural "autopilot" to make any change stick.
Making Habits, Breaking Habits is a witty and intriguing book that demonstrates how behavior is more than just a result of what you think. It is possible to change your habits so that you are happier, more creative, and more productive.
The author, a psychologist, explains the anatomy of habits using extensive studies and research. He also does an excellent job of making his research relevant and actionable for his readers. Habits, according to the author, can be both repetitive actions and repetitive thoughts. This book is not only useful for improving your life and making long-term changes; it is also appropriate for anyone interested in human behavior and the psychology of habits.
