Habits Change into Character

Description

Odds are, you are trying to break a bad habit or institute a good one right now. As a species, we are impressively committed to self-improvement, and most of us believe that habits are an effective means to that end. Habits — actions performed with little conscious thought and often unwittingly triggered by external cues — are powerful influences on behavior and can be our greatest allies for positive change. But because they are so difficult to break, habits are also frequent saboteurs of personal progress. “Habit is a good servant but a bad master” This book will help you understand more deeply the importance of habit control, how to choose a habit to begin or end, and the mechanics of sticking with it. The whole trick is to get habits to work for you, not against you. Self-control is a limited resource, Honey explains, so a good habit means not having to exert effort every time you need to do the right thing.
