Book review - The power of habit

If you ever wanted to know more about habits, how we acquire them, why they exist and even better how they can be changed, then this is the book for you.

Award-winning New York Times business reporter Charles Duhigg takes us on a journey that has oodles of aha moments where he just seems to make sense of human nature and it’s potential for transformation.

It explains why some people seem to be powerless to break habits and fall off the proverbial wagon and why others seem to break them in a matter of days, how to create and maintain good habits and he helps us grasp an understanding of the keystone habits that can make the difference between failure and success.

The mix of easy to read case studies and everyday examples are distilled down into an informative and tantalising understanding of how and why our brains forms habits, the good, the bad and the ugly.

This book gets a whopping 41/2 stars out of 5, now let's see if it’s helped me kick my 3pm chocolate habit and run a half marathon in the next 12 months.
