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.

Psychology

Psychology is one of my go-to subjects. I have had a lifetime of experience with clinical psychology and have been obsessed with how others think because of how much difficulty I felt I had with relationships of all types. But interestingly enough, my first dive into reading about psychology was the niche topic of Behavioral Economics which was created by a Psychologist, Daniel Kahneman, who himself is not a Behavioral Economist nor an Economist. Since then, I’ve branched out into many different facets of psychology. Despite loving to read about it, I often wonder if psychology is more helpful to learn about and talk about OR use in our daily lives to improve it. It can often feel like just talking about talking and usually needs a practical solution, not to mention it can be very frustrating to look for an answer only to find contradicting answers with no results to be found personally with any of them. But that might also be the fun of it; no subject has all the answers, but all of the answers I’ve found in Psychology are, at the very least, fun to talk about.
