The Power of Habit - Charles Duhigg

why we do what we do and how to change

KORTE INHOUD

In 'The Power of Habit', award-winning New York Times business reporter Charles Duhigg takes us into the thrilling and surprising world of the scientific study of habits.
He examines why some people and companies struggle to change, despite years of trying, while others seem to remake themselves overnight. He visits laboratories where neuroscientists explore how habits work and where, exactly, they reside in our brains. And he uncovers how the right habits were crucial to the success of Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, Starbucks CEO Howard Schulz, and civil-rights hero Martin Luther King, Jr.
