This
book takes a look at what habits are, how they work and how pervasive
they are in our lives. It looks at how we end up doing things without
thinking about them and how we can change our habits by understanding
what triggers them and what rewards them. It’s an encouraging book, good
for sparking ideas on good things to try.
The
information is mostly told through anecdotes and stories, even the
coverage of scientific investigations focuses more of special case
studies than on statistics. This makes the information exciting and
memorable but it makes evaluating the general principles suggested
harder. At times the emotionality of main points felt overplay while the
connections and interplay with other ideas and factors felt
underplayed. But I like the variety of examples used. And I really liked
how how the book opened my mind up to seeing how much habits impacted
my life and how much I could gain but tailing my habits and my responses
to the habits of others.
This review was based on the audio version read by Mike Chamberlain
