The Craving Mind: Why We Get Hooked and How We Can Break Bad Habits is published by Simon & Schuster. The book looks at how we learn to do everything from tying our shoes to smoking cigarettes. In a parable, the grandfather tells his granddaughter that in life there are two wolves who are always at battle. He says which one of them will you feed? That's what habit-based learning means for us all.
Key Concepts:
- The roles of rewards and punishments and the importance of understanding how the habit loop cycle works in adjusting behavior.
- Understanding cravings and addictions and strategies that can be used to work through our habitual behavior patterns.
- How bringing awareness and curiosity is a crucial component in training our mind to deal more effectively with cravings.
