"Live Free: Old Habits Die Hard" discusses the nature of habits and offers a method for breaking undesirable ones. It explains how neural pathways are formed and strengthened through repeated actions, leading to ingrained behaviours. The article then introduces a strategy called progressive extremism, advocating for an identity-based approach rather than relying solely on willpower. This method involves identifying the habit, starting with small and effortless changes, and progressively making further adjustments to redefine one's self-perception as a person who simply "doesn't" perform the unwanted action.
