This is where you will find my favorite books and authors on the topic of Habits
I stumbled upon habits since psychology tends to be one of my go-to subjects. However, I never really thought much about the concept of habits in detail until I read The Power of Habit, and that’s when I felt like my whole life changed. I started making progress with my health, eating better, having better hygiene, and more good, and less bad habits in general. It was like the secrets to being human were unlocked to me, and thus began my journey into reading any book I could find, not just with the word habit in the title but even coming close to the topic such as why we get Hooked on our devices or why food these days can Capture us and never let go.
The Daily Laws offers a page of refined and concise wisdom for each day of the year, in an easy-to-digest lesson that will only take a few minutes to absorb. Each day features a Daily Law as well - a prescription that listeners cannot afford to ignore in the battle of life. Each month centers around a major theme: power, seduction, persuasion, strategy, human nature, toxic people, self-control, mastery, psychology, leadership, adversity, or creativity.
Temple Grandin, Martha Graham, Henry Ford, Buckminster Fuller - all have lessons to offer about how the love for doing one thing exceptionally well can lead to mastery. Yet the secret, Greene maintains, is already in our heads. Debunking long-held cultural myths, he demonstrates just how we, as humans, are hardwired for achievement and supremacy.
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.
