Pink, author of <i>Drive</i>). <p/>Named One of the Best Books of the Year by <i>The Wall Street Journal</i> and <i>Financial Times <p/></i></b>In <i>The Power of Habit, </i> award-winning business reporter Charles Duhigg takes us to the thrilling edge of scientific discoveries that explain why habits exist and how they can be changed. Distilling vast amounts of information into engrossing narratives that take us from the boardrooms of Procter & Gamble to the sidelines of the NFL to the front lines of the civil rights movement, Duhigg presents a whole new understanding of human nature and its potential. <p/>At its core, <i>The Power of Habit</i> contains an exhilarating argument: The key to exercising regularly, losing weight, being more productive, and achieving success is understanding how habits work. As Duhigg shows, by harnessing this new science, we can transform our businesses, our communities, and our lives. <p/><b>Praise for <i>The Power of Habit</i></b> <p/> "Sharp, provocative, and useful."<b>--Jim Collins</b> <p/> "Few [books] become essential manuals for business and living. <i>The Power of Habit </i>is an exception. Charles Duhigg not only explains how habits are formed but how to kick bad ones and hang on to the good."<b>--<i>Financial Times</i></b> <p/> "A flat-out great read."<b>--David Allen, bestselling author of <i>Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity</i></b> <p/> "Entertaining . . . enjoyable . . . fascinating . . . a serious look at the science of habit formation and change."<b>--<i>The New York Times Book Review</i><br></b></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Sharp, provocative, and useful."<b>--Jim Collins</b> <p/>"Few [books] become essential manuals for business and living. <i>The Power of Habit </i>is an exception.

Routine: read book. Reward: fully comprehend the art of manipulation."<b>--<i>Bloomberg Businessweek<br></i></b><br>"A fresh examination of how routine behaviors take hold and whether they are susceptible to change . . . The stories that Duhigg has knitted together are all fascinating in their own right, but take on an added dimension when wedded to his examination of habits."<b>-- Associated Press</b> <p/> "There's been a lot of research over the past several years about how our habits shape us, and this work is beautifully described in the new book <i>The Power of Habit</i>."<b>--David Brooks, <i>The New York Times</i></b> <p/> "A first-rate book--based on an impressive mass of research, written in a lively style and providing just the right balance of intellectual seriousness with practical advice on how to break our bad habits."<b>--<i>The Economist</i></b> <p/> "I have been spinning like a top since reading <i>The Power of Habit, </i> <i>New York Times</i> journalist Charles Duhigg's fascinating best-seller about how people, businesses and organizations develop the positive routines that make them productive--and happy."<b>--<i>The Washington Post</i></b> <p/> "An absolutely fascinating . . . book [that explores] a startling and sometimes dismaying collision between the increasingly sophisticated scientific understanding of habits--how they're formed, how they can be disrupted and changed--and, among other things, companies' efforts to use that knowledge to steer your habits and money their way."<b>--<i>Wired</i></b> <p/> "If Duhigg is right about the nature of habits, which I think he is, then trying to <i>get rid</i> of these bad habits won't work. Instead, what is needed is to teach the managers to <i>identify the cues</i> that lead to these bad habits and rewards, and then learn alternative routines that lead to similar rewards, i.e. business and personal success."<b>--<i>Forbes</i></b> <p/> "<i>The Power of Habit</i> is chock-full of fascinating anecdotes . . . how an early twentieth century adman turned Pepsodent into the first bestselling toothpaste by creating the habit of brushing daily, how a team of marketing mavens at Procter & Gamble rescued Febreze from the scrapheap of failed products by recognizing that a fresh smell was a fine reward for a cleaning task, how Michael Phelps' coach instilled habits that made him an Olympic champion many times over, and how Tony Dungy turned the Indianapolis Colts into a Super Bowl-winning team."<b>--<i>Los Angeles Times</i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Charles Duhigg</b> is a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist and the author of <i>The Power of Habit </i>and <i>Smarter Faster Better</i>.
