The Power of Habit
Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business
Book • 2012
In this book, Charles Duhigg explores the science of habit formation and change.
He explains the 'habit loop' consisting of a cue, a routine, and a reward, and how understanding this loop can help in changing bad habits or forming good ones.
The book includes numerous examples from various fields, such as how Procter & Gamble successfully marketed Febreze, how Alcoa transformed its business by focusing on safety, and how individuals like Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps and civil-rights hero Martin Luther King, Jr. benefited from specific habits.
Duhigg argues that by harnessing this science, individuals and organizations can transform their lives and businesses.
