James Carville: I have two fairly basic questions from my listeners that may have not read your book, maybe the two or three people out there in the world. First, what is a habit? Well, if you talk to an academic or researcher, they're going to say something like a habit is a automatic or mindless behavior That's not how we usually talk about it in daily conversation. He says habits are often linked to environments and environment plays a pretty big role in how they're shaped.
