Twitter summary: We have the ability, once aware, to change our habits. Our habits are what we choose them to be.
The good: Know the cues and rewards of our habits. Duhigg presents a framework and guide on how our habits might change since “change is a process that never fully concludes.” I loved the deep dive examples (Target and consumer data as well as the song Hey Yeah are just a couple) — open opening. I don’t say that lightly because I love self-development books and theories. Utilize what you know to change your habits. Got it. Time to implement.
The bad: I listened to the audiobook and I selfishly wished Duhigg read his own book. Of course the narrator did an amazing job but ever since I discovered audiobooks, I have a fascination with hearing authors share their own stories (especially for non-fiction). Think about it — they put in all that research, time, energy — I want to hear the passion in their narration.
Recommendation: Yes!
Overall rating: 4/5 bad habits (I’m singing the song and I’m not a fan of Swift…)
