You will convince yourself that your everyday life is being determined with habits, frequently with bad ones and it’s impossible to root them up, but it is possible to gain new, better ones. Thanks to Duhigg’s book you will get to know what habit loop is and how it influences your life.
But only in the past two decades have scientists and marketers really begun understanding how habits work and more important, how they change’. William James like countless others, from Aristotle to Oprah spent much of his life trying to understand why habits exist. One paper published by a Duke University researcher in 2006 found that more than 40 percent of the actions people performed each day weren’t actual decisions, but habits. And though each habit means relatively little on its own, over time, the meals we order, what we say to our kids each night, whether we save or spend, how often we exercise, and the way we organize our thoughts and work routines have enormous impacts on our health, productivity, financial security, and happiness. Most of the choices we make each day may feel like the products of well-considered decision making, but they’re not.
‘All our life, so far as it has definite form, is but a mass of habits’ – William James wrote in 1892. For those who wrongly accuse the power of habit and possibilities of changing of cheap coaching from the backyard and American fashion for everything. For those who wonder why their friend got down the London marathon’s course once again, while they stopped themselves on picking proper running shoes. For those who take care of procrastination like of cute puppy. For those who run fully stressed in the morning to catch the bus with huge fear to not miss it. The power of habit – for who and what for?įor you. How to avoid decline and fall? Let’s start! Some of them, sometimes all of them, seemingly trivial, can significantly lower the comfort of your functioning and disturb a sense of satisfaction.
