By changing our habits (i.e. the choices once made), we can change our lives. How? And what habits are considered “right”? The answer is in this book.
“Sow a habit – you reap a character, sow a character – you reap a destiny” – this wisdom is familiar from childhood, and it is easy to draw a conclusion from it: if we want to change destiny, we must start with habits. But how? After all, habits are automatic actions that are reproduced without the participation of the mind! And yet each is the result of a choice. Once upon a time, we consciously decided how much to eat, what to drink, where to start work, and since the decision was repeated, the behavior was fixed over time. When we find that it no longer suits us, we are able to “change our mind”, make a new choice – and learn it instead of the previous one. The author of the book, a graduate of Yale University and Harvard School of Economics, talks about what processes in our brain correspond to the formation of habits, and also explores the habits of successful companies and entire societies. The book contains scientific research on this topic, supplemented by many fascinating stories.
