Charles Duhigg, the author of the award-winning New York Times bestseller The Power of Habit, is a business reporter who shows detailed explanations of why habits exist and how they can be changed. Scientific discoveries support his explanations and the book looks into human nature in an attempt to understand it and to show how it can be the deciding factor in transforming people’s lives.
The Power of Habit shows why people and companies have a difficult time changing despite years of attempts and it shows why others can transform overnight. Duhigg lets the readers explore various scientific laboratories in interviewing neuroscientists to understand the science behind habits from a neurological perspective.
Duhigg shows examples of people who were able to find their way through managing habits from the Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., to Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz.
