The resource that taught me how they work was Charles Duhigg’s book The Power of Habit, and today I’ll share five of the most important lessons I learned from reading it.

You can read a bit more about it in my 2014 year-end review, but to sum it up, I started waking up early, built a productive morning routine, and created a habit of publishing content on a much more regular basis. I got deadly serious about habit-building about halfway through 2014. “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.In my opinion, there are three broad factors that contribute more to your success than any other: “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 The Power of Habit.” -David Brooks, The New York Times 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.” - Associated Press “A fresh examination of how routine behaviors take hold and whether they are susceptible to change.
