The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business

Drawing on the latest research in neuroscience, psychology, and behavioral economics, Duhigg reveals the powerful role that habits play in influencing our behavior and decision-making.

At its core, "The Power of Habit" is a book about the science of habits and how they can be harnessed to create positive change in our lives and organizations. Duhigg begins by delving into the neurology of habits, explaining how they are formed and how they can be broken. He introduces readers to the Habit Loop, a neurological pattern that consists of a cue, a routine, and a reward, which is at the heart of all habits.

Duhigg then explores how habits impact our personal lives, from our health and wellness to our relationships and productivity. He shares real-life stories and case studies that illustrate how individuals have successfully changed their habits and transformed their lives for the better.

But Duhigg doesn't stop there. He also examines the role of habits in business and organizations, showing how companies like Target and Starbucks have used the power of habits to drive growth and success. He explains how businesses can identify and leverage key habits to improve employee performance, customer loyalty, and overall profitability.
