Good Habits, Bad Habits: The Science of Making Positive Changes That Stick

If you’ve repeatedly tried (and still would like to) eat properly, stop so often checking your phone, sleep 8 hours a day, quit smoking, keep your desktop tidy, lose weight and maintain the results—but haven’t been able to stick with it for long—then you’re ready for this book. The author of the bestsellers “The Happiness Project” and “Happier at Home,” Gretchen Rubin, told millions of people how to add more small joys and pleasures to their lives. In her new book, Gretchen sets two goals for herself and brilliantly accomplishes them: 1) explain why it’s so hard for us to adopt good habits (and get rid of bad ones); 2) teach us effective strategies for forming new habits, taking into account each person’s individual characteristics. Change your habits to change your life—because habits are our destiny.
