In an engaging and entertaining collection of stories and research, author Charles Duhigg shares how habits form and how they can be changed. Claiming that habits cannot be eliminated, only changed, Duhigg says that one must identify the cue, routine, and reward cycle for any habit, then work to change the routine. In a manner reminiscent of many business self help books, Duhigg bolsters his and others' research with many anecdotes to illustrate how habits are formed by individuals, organizations, and societies. While interesting, I was hoping for something more instructive to apply to my own habits, but this book does lay the foundation for how to think about the habits we have and how we might change the cycle. This was a re-read, and my opinion is the same this time around.
