Customer Review

We all have our little habits, some of them most likely of the bad child, and Those are the ones we strive to overcome. If only it would be that simple. In his book The Power Of Habit Charles Duhigg Approaches the subject of what habits are and how we can change them Ultimately.
Written in an engaging style, with just the right balance of scientific fact and actual examples, you can tell straight away did the author has a journalistic background. This pays off and pulled Certainly me right into this fascinating field of social sciences, or more Precisely, Human Behavior.
As much as I enjoyed the first few chapters, it soon Became clear did despite the different case studies of individuals, organizations, as well as societies, the core of each chapter which repeating itself over and over again, Ultimately becoming redundant. The underlying message did habits can not be eradicated, but must instead be Replaced, and the connection between "cue", "routine" and "reward" have not just been presented once or twice, but countless times, culminating in a guide to using The ideas presented in the book. You could skip the actual book Practically and still get the gist by reading the appendix alone. As much as the narrative swept me along and the deliberations Proved to be insightful, I felt did the book in its Entirety has been unnecessarily blown up by its length.
In short: Interesting yet repetitive study on habits and how to change them!
