Brought to you by Penguin.

There's never been a better time to set new habits. This book will change your life.

Why do we do develop habits? And how can we change them?

We can always change. In The Power of Habit, award-winning New York Times business reporter Charles Duhigg translates cutting-edge behavioural science into practical self-improvement action, distilling advanced neuroscience into fascinating narratives of transformation.

Why can some people and companies change overnight and some stay stuck in their old ruts? The answer lies deep in the human brain, and The Power of Habits reveals the secret pressure points that can change a life. From Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps to Martin Luther King Jr., from the CEO of Starbucks to the locker rooms of the NFL, Duhigg explores the incredible results of keystone habits and how they can make all the difference between billions and millions, failure and success – or even life and death.

The Power of Habit makes an exhilarating case: the key to almost any door in life is instilling the right habit. From exercise to weight loss, child-rearing to productivity, market disruption to social revolution and above all success, the right habits can change everything.

Habits aren't destiny. They’re science, one which can transform our businesses, our communities and our lives.

Commentaires

"It’s a fascinating insight into making and breaking habits and offers practical advice, funny stories and critical thinking." (Press Association)

"Plenty of business books that try to tap into the scientific world manage to distil complicated research into readable prose. But few take the next step and become essential manuals for business and living. The Power of Habit is an exception." (Andrew Hill, Financial Times)

"Full of great ideas" (Evening Standard)

Duhigg has an idea - that habit is an important force in our lives and that we can change our habits with effort - and he has a lot of interesting stories - about Paul Ryan and Alcoa, Starbucks, compulsive gambling, sleepwalking - and he spends the book trying to put them into a coherent theory. For me this doesn't quite work, but I found the book quite entertaining anyway.

A bit forced

Livre informatif plus sur les habitudes collectives ( ex: target, marketing, entreprises) que individuelles ( ex: addictions, dépression ). Compréhension globale des mécanismes et 30 min à la fin sur son propre exemple et mise en pratique ( arrêter de manger des cookies ). Lecture agréable, vivante, pas ennuyante. Un bon livre globalement.

Great mix of research and practical tips but potentially feels like too broad a definition of a 'habit'.

useful to understanding human behaviour
