THE POWER OF HABIT BY CHARLES DUHIG

  • I became interested in building new habits, so I grabbed this book by Charles Duhigg.

    I learned the loop of habit and how it works. The book shows changing habits and emerging new habits must be rewarded.

    Human cannot remove a negative habit but can replace it with a new one. For example, you have a habit of interrupting others before they finish speaking. But you decide to become an attentive listener, so you begin focusing on the speaker. You are replacing a bad habit with a good one, which is your sincere desire in what the other person is saying.


    When you wake up in the morning, you hop in the shower vs checking your phone. Sounds challenging? Mr. Duhigg’s book will help you to make this possible.

    The book is full of fascinating anecdotes that explores the neurology of habit information. It examines the habit of successful companies and people by focusing on a single key habit.

    It provides central arguments that habits can be changed.

    I built new habits that bring a significant positive change in my life.

    The story of a man, Eugene Pauly, has scientifically proven that even humans with catastrophic damages in brain can build new habits.

    Eugene, a man who losses consciousness 10 times/day can build a new habit in 36 days! Wow to the human brain and science of habit -
