    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 reporter Charles 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 Book Review

    Really not interesting

    I thought this book would be about helping people forming new habits, how habits work. 90% of the book is filled with anecdotes and I don’t even feel like some of them are even related to the notion of habits...

    Nice! A guide on how to change

    At first I was hesitant to buy this book as I have read several self help books like Today Matters, Awaken the Giant Within, etc. And I just didnt want to buy another one as after a couple of books the information in them starts getting repetitive and the truth is if you actually do what is in one book it will be more than enough. The only problem is that we read a lot and do not persist in doing what we learned form the book...or at least thats the case for me.

    But I bough this book anyway as it seemed different and the reviews on it were good. It was worth it.

    In the book, the author talks about habits and how to create new ones and stick to them. He doesn't tell you do this and that to be more productive, rather he tells you how to craete habits and then start doing them naturally without effort or thinking...whatever that habit is. He provides scientific evidence that when an act becomes a habit, your brain does less work to do it!

    He says for a certain action to become a habit, there are three things:
    1. A cue that triggers the action
    2. Repetition: You have to repeat the action everytime the cue happens
    3. Reward: A reward at the end
    And so to change the bad habits that you have, you will not ignore the cue that drove you to that old habit but rather you will act diffrently. In other words, you will satisfy your craving in another way as ignoring it will only solve the problem temporarily and after a while you will go back to your old habits again.
    And so you will keep the cue and the reward but change the routine in the middle....but first you need to see what you were really craving. Was it really that chocolate bar you were craving or were you bored at work and wanted a distraction? If it was boredom, then go and socialize instead. Like this you didn't ignore the cue (boredom) or the reward (getting out of boredom) but you simple replaced the bad habit(chocolate) with a good one (socializing).
    But he then states that usually people create habits and stick to them until a crisis or pressure comes. At that moment, people usually go back to their old habits mainly because they do not believe in the new system or the new habit. And that adds the fourth element of creating a habit which is belief - belief in the habit and in something bigger - like God. Believing that there is a God or that there is a higher power that will take you through this hard times is essential to keep you going on and not falling back. This will be specially usefull in bad habits like drinking.

    He then states that people usually try to change everything at once and thus do that for a little while and then get overwhelmed and return back to all their old habits.
    And so to stick to a habit and change your life, you need to select a key stone habit. A key stone habit is a habit that when you change it, all other habits will automatically change. For example, if you write a daily food journal - just writing what you eat, you have not decided to eat less or anything else - just writing what you eat down will eventually make you watch what you eat and change it. Consequently, by just focusing on this one habit you encourged other habits. However, you will not be overwhelmed by a sudden lot of change.

    He then talks about grit - which is to keep walking towards your goal for years inspite of challenges and obstacles, and regardless of how long it takes you to achieve it. He says that will power and self discipline are the most important factors for success - not IQ or anything else. That will power is a habit too. That it is a muscle that can be excercised, that when you have will power you start to change how you think. That you have to practice focusing on goals, writing plans and identifying simple cues and obvious rewards. For example, you should write a plan on how one would act in a specific situation. Specifically what you would do when things go wrong or get tough.

    He also talks about crisis and how people are more open to change during crisis and that this will be a good opportunity to change social habits.
    As for the ingredients for social habits:
    1. Protest
    2. Peer pressure
    3. Must be self prepelling. People have to be participants and not followers
    He talks a lot more about social habits but that is just a summary

    To sum up he says that to create new habits and to change you have to:
    1. Decide to work hard. As it a lot of hard work and will not come easily.
    2. Identify cue and reward
    3. One has to have self control and be self conscious
    That habits are what you choose them to be. That they are the unthinking choices that we make everyday. By making them visible we can change them.

    Also, he backs up all this by providing examples and scientific evidence.

    Good, but....

    Some aspects of this book are great. It is a real discussion of habit, and techniques to change it. The anecdotes get extremely annoying. The author jumps from one story, to another, and then back again. It lacks a summary of the main point of each chapter, which would really help drive things home.

    In one chapter I listened to a discussion of brain surgery and a a blow by blow detail of a big surgical error. This story was then displayed as an example of negative habits.

    That sounds OK in theory, but it took the author twenty minutes to get to the point. I felt like most of the meaning of the book got buried in the examples, and there was no clarification on the meat of the information.

    It's narrated well.

    Not Unabridged: "Using These Ideas" is Missing

    Why one star? This is not unabridged. The eleven page Appendix, "A Reader's Guide to Using These Ideas" is missing. The Appendix *is* the conclusion, and without it, the book's lessons do not coalesce.

    The performance is strong, if a bit chipper for a morning commute, and Mike Chamberlin is a good companion after a cup of coffee.

    The story is strong. A clear, simple structure, but it may trick readers into skipping parts, especially the last section, in which a pivotal moment in American history is linked to the founding of the MegaChurch (and in the hands of lesser man than Rick Warren, it is a How To for founding a cult). The last chapter stumbles into lumpy epiphanies. One paragraph (p 271) begins, "That, in some ways, the point of the book."

    (And I would have appreciated the Acknowledgements being included. Some can be tedious, like listening to the Best Man after too many drinks, but Duhigg's are genuine and insightful. Further, the endnotes are smart, thorough and enlightening. His expertise as an investigative journalist shines.)

    1 hour of useful info, 9 hours of stories

    After the first hour or so, everything useful had been said. After that it was literally 9 hours of stories that are examples of the principles. Thia book could have been cut in half and still had been too long.

    You will learn something about yourself

    What a marvelous book! My husband and I listened to it over about 7 days and each night we would discuss what we had heard the night before at length. We learned to observe our own habits and think about which ones we wanted to change. The story is engaging; at times funny and other times tragic but the effect keeps the listener interested.
    The author builds each chapter and the listener is satisfied at the end. I recommend this book to anyone who is curious about why we do the things that we do. Also, if you are a reader of Drs. Dan Arielly and Daniel Gilbert you will appreciate this book.
    I always judge the value of something by what I have learned from it and I have learned a lot about my own habits after listening to and thinking critically about the points made in this book.

    Alchemy, finally . . .

    I got this book because, after years of having unusually high levels of self-discipline, I seemed to lose it (the discipline) after three major surgeries that resulted in a years' long recovery period. What happened, I thought? It wasn't that I didn't want to accomplish more goals; in fact, I have alot I wanted, needed, to do. So I began to read about HABITs. This book, The Power of Habits, is worth the read. And yes, there is a solution.

    Researchers used to believe that the ability to be 'self-regulating' , e.g., not eating that tempting cookie, was merely a skill. Then after a decade or so more of studies, researchers found that habits are not only triggered by something in our lives, but that once we become aware of our personal 'triggers' that we can 'swap' the bad habit with a healthy one. Trigger-Response-Result. Of course, the goal is to create healthier, more productive habits. So how do we do that. And that's what you'll learn from this book. Everything from seeing how the brain works, how that understanding helps our process of changing habits, how to use this info if we're a parent, coach, CEO, there are case studies for Everyone. And they're really quite fascinating. About the obstacles Michael Phelps had to overcome, the positive habits his coach had him focus on to help him to relax, since all Olympian athletes have perfectly formed bodied (for their sport, at that level, so it was all about calming the mind, pretty much). And that case study was compelling to read. Also one about a well-known CEO of Alcoa, who used this info to change the entire process involved at Alcoa, in a most clever way (while getting everyone to hop on his bandwagon, which we know is virtually impossible at the corporate, heck, the family level!) Those are just two of the many references to specific situations that could be applied to your own personal/professional lives.

    The point being, creating a new habit, or swapping a unhealthy habit with a healthy one (i.e., people who start exercising may reduce smoking); or people who start keeping a food journal one day per week, lost twice as much weight as the people who didn't (keep the journal); these are just of few of the studies which are fascinating. The beginning of the book spends maybe a bit too long on the guy who lost his memory and what they did to help him (it's related to the brain and referring to past habits), yet once you slog through that, you'll see how important it was and the rest of the book goes much faster.

    Change one habit in your life and, as this book shows, it'll have a ripple effect, a positive affect on creating more and more positive habits throughout your life.

    Support, by the way, is also important factor for anyone wanting to create new habits; so make your life easier by finding just one person who's interested & committed to meeting for a half-hour a week, 15 minutes for each to discuss solutions, what are your challenges and how to surmount them. It'd also make an interesting blog, for anyone who wants to change something in their life while discussing the ideas in this book and how you're applying them (to your situation). Help others while helping yourself. Or as the saying goes, "When you help another to get her canoe across the river, you also end up being across the river too." Or something like that, ha.

    Back to The Power of Habit. Yes, we all have triggers in our life because the feelings that cause 'triggers' to overeat or smoke or drink, etc., are universal. We all feel these feelings. It's when we isolate, which many do, that our triggers may result in these unhealthy Responses and Results. (The book called Toughness talks about building up 'toughness', as if that's a muscle too. It's not as good a book as this, is mostly sports oriented, but well worth it for anyone realizing how important 'mental toughness' is.) The book, The Power of Habit, is also about building up a form of 'mental toughness', teaching us that, yes, we can use this information to respond to the difficult things/feelings in life IF we learn the skill and practice so as to strengthen the muscle.

    Feelings that are hard to feel, such as loneliness, anxiety, stress, etc., that, in large part, is what this book is dancing around, without focusing directly on 'feelings'. Learning how to respond to our life in a way that's healthy, instead of destructive.This book explains how the brain works, illustrates with well-known people and case studies, and offers practical solutions for a wide variety of situations. Yes, it's definitely worth getting, and learning, again and again, until we 'get it'. As long as that takes.

    The material is arranged in an easy-to-follow order and the narrator is pitch perfect, as well.

    Want to change your life? It's about taking self-responsibility. And this book shows that it's not only possible, but feasible. Support is good, maybe necessary. And the more you/we all bring our best Self to the table, the more we'll all be able to contribute. It's about living life with meaning, not at the mercy of our parents' bad habits or our own. Yes, we can have more control over our lives. And isn't that alot of what happiness is. To make a difference, to be the person we're most capable of being? To connect with others and have something like this to share, because we were able to achieve it ourselves?!

    If you're drawn to this subject, it's definitely worth your time.

    Interesting stories, but not all linked to Habits

    What did you like best about The Power of Habit? What did you like least?

    Good reader, and many interesting stories about persons whose injuries allow a closer examination of those parts of the brain that control habits and other behaviors. And some of the other stories well researched (London Subway Fire, Rosa Parks boycott, etc,) and were interesting.

    Would you be willing to try another book from Charles Duhigg? Why or why not?

    No. This is a collection of stories looking for a theme. In fact, it seems like he had to work hard to find a theme to fit his stories. The longer I read, the thinner the connection.

    Do you think The Power of Habit needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

    No.

    Any additional comments?

    In the final section, the author sets up a comparison between two individuals (a sleep walker who killed his wife and a gambler who spent all her family's money) and set up a red herring suggesting that habits out of their control forced their actions and they should have been treated equally. The weakness in the argument was so apparent that it was just irritating when he finally came around to make the obvious case that the gambler had many opportunities for intervention and the sleepwalker who acted once. So while I learned some things about habits early in the book and then listened to some interesting stories in the middle, the longer the book went, the more it became obvious that anything in this author's world could be easily explained--and included in--a book about habits.

    This Book Became a Habit

    I originally bypassed this book, pre-judging it as more of the same from various mental health professionals and experts in neuroscience. Then I heard it referenced in an unrelated podcast about the game of Blackjack and my interest was piqued.

    Some of the examples and case studies have frequently appeared in non-fiction and fiction alike, but this book makes use of plenty of other newer and more unusual (at least to me) examples, stories and experiences, and is quite salient on how habit works. I wasn't as interested in the dynamics of habit in groups and I almost put the book down and gave it a rest at the beginning of that section. I kept with it, though and was "hooked by habit" once again.

    Can't add more to what others have said, though agreed, it would have been helpful to have had access to the user guide mentioned by another reviewer. I was not expecting a "how to" book on the methods of change in personal and professional life, so I was not disappointed, and actually I prefer a macro lens in books of this genre, and appreciated the aerial view of the dynamics of change, preferring it to a book on how habits develop and affect the individual in general and me personally. But the latter does get covered anyway and it's a bonus.

    The narration is perfect and I am glad the author was not selected for this reading. That statement is not necessarily applicable to this book and this author as I have never heard his speaking voice but generally, self-narration frequently doesn't work all that well - just personal taste here - and I prefer a neutral voice, a reading by someone who is not necessarily a stakeholder in the book and whose interpretation can be more objective.

    I'm sure I'll give this one another read at some point.

    A Little Reductive and Repetitive

    The studies, themselves, were pretty good and interesting. However, the writing itself got a little repetitive, going over the points over and over again. I also disliked the spreading out of the lead story of each chapter, structurally.

    The facts presented were a bit reductive. Both Habit and Culture are a bit more complex than presented. I guess for a layman, the book is good, but for someone looking to delve into the subject of habit as a psychological function then it falls short.

    What the book actually does is explain habit to a layman and a bit about what makes them form, and so on. It's not self-help. It is not highly academic. In trying to make it simpler it does make a few minor factual errors. Culture is not a series of habits. And Habit is more complex than just culture. Separate things.

    For that, I removed two stars. I liked the reading a lot though. It was very well done and pleasant to listen to.

    Great, real world stories that drive the point

    What did you love best about The Power of Habit?

    Really interesting biographies of actual professionals and athletes that have used habit to excel in their fields

    What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?

    You realize how effective habits and shaping,creating habits can be

    What insight do you think you’ll apply from The Power of Habit?

    I have begun creating routines and sticking to them. It's work at first, but the book provides inspiration and insight so that you keep at it.

    Any additional comments?

    Really enjoyed this book. Very different from the usual self-help books.

    Das Wichtige in den letzten 30 Minuten

    Ja, ich bin ein Freund von praktischen Tipps. Wem noch nicht klar ist, dass der Mensch ein Gewohnheitstier ist und wer Beispiele von der Macht der Gewohnheit braucht, der findet die ersten 9 1/2 Stunden auch interessant. Wer aber weiß, dass er schlechte Gewohnheiten hat und vielleicht sogar diese ändern möchte, findet diese INFO leider erst in den letzten 30 Minuten. Ganz interessant ist die Erklärung des Civil Rights Movement und der Spielsucht, ansonsten könnte das Buch deutlich Informationsdichter sein, ein Problem, das leider so Einige Hörbücher schon gezeigt haben.

    Wir tun gewohnheitsmäßig nichts ohne Grund...

    Anhand vieler plastischer Beispiele und Anekdoten gelingt es Duhigg, dem Zuhörer den Stand der Forschung dazu zu vermitteln, wie Gewohnheiten entstehen, wie sie unser Leben beeinflussen und vor allem wie wir sie ändern können. Das ist spannend anzuhören und das schafft tatsächlich die Überzeugung (Duhigg würde sagen: den Glauben daran), dass Veränderung möglich ist. Seine Ausführungen laufen zusammen in einem verständlichen Schema, mit dem jeder Einzelne die Elemente seiner Angewohnheiten herausfinden und analysieren kann. Mit dem Wissen aus dem Buch fällt es leichter, die wahren Motive (Belohnungen) auszumachen, die uns zum Schlemmen/Rauchen/Faulenzen/Fluchen/ übertriebenen Internetsurfen etc. treiben. Ein faszinierendes Buch, mit vielen Ansatzpunkten für den Alltag. In einer sehr bidlhaften, gut verständlichen Sprache; mit einer angenehmen, sympathischen Stimme vorgetragen von Mike Chamberlain. Absolut Empfehlenswert!

    Would have been better as a single TED talk

    Welche Szenen dieses Hörbuchs hätten Sie als Regisseur gestrichen?

    The little stories now and then are ok, but they take up most of the audio time instead of real information.

    That's a "should read/listen to" book.

    its definitely worth spending the time on this book. it will give you awareness about your current good and bad habits, what power they inhibit and what you can or should change in your life to be more fullfilled, sucessfull and happy. give it a try especially when you struggle with consistency, wasting your time unknowingly throughout the day, addictions of any kind, and also if you miss momentum and motivation in your everyday live.

    Marketing Book

    I listened to it for two hours and could not make it any further. It consists of partly-depressive and boring, repetitive stories and I guess it was meant to make sense later.. But sorry..I didn't want to listen to a marketing textbook. Two hours in and NO valuable info about the topic received, just a bla-bla..

    Interesting book.

    Was wäre für andere Hörer sonst noch hilfreich zu wissen, um das Hörbuch richtig einschätzen zu können?

    Good explanation about the power of habits with its good and bad sides. Interesting to learn that habits never disappear but can be replaced by other habits. Worth listing a second and even a third time.

    Empfehlenswert

    Sehr interessant und spannend. Habe einiges gelernt und Denkanstöße bekommen. Der Sprecher ist für meinen Geschmack etwas zu langsam aber zum Glück kann man beschleunigen ;)

    the auther had to fill pages

    Was genau hätte man an The Power of Habit noch verbessern können?

    the auther could have added an scientific content

    Hat Sie The Power of Habit nun im Hinblick auf andere Bücher dieses Genres beeinflusst

    yes...I am deeply disappointed and will check carefully before I buy

    Was mochten Sie nicht am Vortrag von Mike Chamberlain?

    just blaaaaaaaaaaah...no content no method no information...

    Sie mochten dieses Buch nicht ... Haben Sie vielleicht irgendwelche rettenden Maßnahmen dafür?

    kick the book out of your store...waste of time

    Was wäre für andere Hörer sonst noch hilfreich zu wissen, um das Hörbuch richtig einschätzen zu können?

    tell the customers that it is pointless and contentless
