The Power of Habit

Charles Duhigg wrote the book The Power of Habit. The New York Times, Amazon.com, and USA Today all listed the book as a best seller. It was a finalist for the Financial Times/ McKinsey Business Book Of the year Award in 2012.

According to the book, the habit loop is a neurological pattern that governs any habit. It is made up of three parts: a cue, a routine and a reward. Furthermore, it will show you where your habits come from and most importantly, how to change the habits you have. In addition to, understanding these components can aid in learning how to change the bad habits or form new ones.

Although the book isn't particularly practical, it's fascinating to learn what the automatic 40% of your mind is up to. Just for the entertainment value, this book is worth picking up. It will open up a new world to you that you hadn't considered before and in spite of the book's lack of practical, tactical details, the information contained within it is still extremely valuable.
