Read & download Good Habits Bad Habits Characters â PDF, DOC, TXT or eBook ✓ Wendy Wood Wendy Wood ✓ 0 Free download A landmark book about how we form habits and what we can do with this knowledge to make positive changeWe spend a shocking 43 percent of our day doing things without thinking about them That means that almost half of our actions aren't conscious choices but the result of our non conscious mind nudging our body to act along learned behaviors How we respond to the people around us; the way we conduct ourselves in a meeting; what we buy; when and how we exercise eat and drink a truly remarkable number of things we do every day regardless of their complexity operate outside of our awareness We do them automatically We do them by habit And yet.

All my reviews live at read this book as part of my subscription to The Next Big Idea Club which is a uarterly book subscription of new big idea nonfiction titles curated by Malcolm Gladwell Adam Grant Susan Cain and Daniel Pink So while I was nervous that would be yet another book about building habits that should probably have just been a TED Talk I decided to give it a shotI was pleasantly surprised that this book did NOT feel like so many others that had come before it The difference is really that Wendy Wood is an accomplished neuroscience researcher who also has a knack for translating her results into helpful clear proseThe first section of the book is heavy on neuroscience explaining what habits really are and how they exist in the brain The second section goes into four ways to control your habits like adapting your setting strategically and how to stack habits on top of each other The final section goes into a bit of the ramifications of this research and offers food for thoughtMy only wish from this book is a bit how to She does a great job of explaining why certain things do or do not work but doesn t really offer any sort of summary at the end of each chapter with a recap of the actual advice given or next steps to take in your own life The result is a little bit of Okay but how do I actually DO that It s in there you just have to kind of hunt for it so that s what makes following her advice less straightforward than is typical in self help booksThat being said I did learn a TON and now have some plans to make changes to my own habits So if you re looking to build or kick a habit definitely check this one out It will have something there for you
