Resumen del Editor

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • This instant classic explores how we can change our lives by changing our habits.

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Wall Street Journal • Financial Times

In The Power of Habit, award-winning business reporter Charles Duhigg takes us to the thrilling edge of scientific discoveries that explain why habits exist and how they can be changed. Distilling vast amounts of information into engrossing narratives that take us from the boardrooms of Procter & Gamble to the sidelines of the NFL to the front lines of the civil rights movement, Duhigg presents a whole new understanding of human nature and its potential. At its core, The Power of Habit contains an exhilarating argument: The key to exercising regularly, losing weight, being more productive, and achieving success is understanding how habits work. As Duhigg shows, by harnessing this new science, we can transform our businesses, our communities, and our lives.

lay person's dream

this book is littered with information that I'm sure psychologist went to school to study. but for a layperson it's very helpful and understanding how to break down a single habit into its parts so that good ones can be reinforced and bad ones can be changed. I wish the appendix was a chapter by itself with more detail.

Fantastic and powerful!:)

Fantastic and powerful!:) enjoyed the different studies and applicable examples . Covered a lot of subjects all pertaining to routine and habit - very interesting book - combining history, facts, anecdotes and ways to apply to your own life. Very well written - I enjoyed it very much.

Very interesting

This was very interesting, I learn a lot about habits after listening to this book. For me personally I would of liked more business related stories. But overall I was very satisfied

great life changing book if you really listen

the bible for creating change in your life. Change your habits, change your life !

Voice impressions :/

I enjoyed the content, but the changes in voice tone to represent commentary by women were a little bit of a stretch...

Do the work and change your life! 🔥🔥🔥

Learn why you do what you do. identify it, then modify it. Experiment with it, until the new habit is the one you want. Holy shit this was the best book ever... hands down!

It is eye opening book

This book presents very good information from scientific lab, as well as the story from real life -- people and businesses. This book is informative, amusing, as well as empowering. I highly recommended this book to everyone.

Food for thought

This book was slow at times but the overall message was interesting and made me stop and think how much I am on autopilot and helped me change my habits to see the changes I want to happen.

Amazing read (or listening!)

New way of thinking

I believe this book can help you systematically identify a problem with your actions and help you change it. Very good read.
