MediaDB / «The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg: read online
About the book: 2013 / Now you will know exactly how to change your habits - how to force yourself to eat less, go to the gym, not smoke, not be irritated with loved ones, work effectively (what else is on your list?). It's not easy or quick. But it is possible. Charles Duhigg shows how a ossified habit is formed. What exactly is it about “habit” that makes you act this way and not otherwise? And what does it mean to “have a will.” You will be able to find the “cogs” of your usual way of acting and tighten them - in order to resist the usual reaction, to feel like a master over yourself. Did you know how groups of people change their habits? How, for example, did an entire country learn to brush its teeth? Or that forming a habit in something insignificant - for example, making your bed in the morning - radically changes your overall lifestyle. By the way, this also applies to business companies. Habit gets in the way, but habit also saves. It’s just that today science knows something about habits that could not even be thought of half a century ago. Incredibly practical and smart book.
