In The Power of Habit, award-winning business reporter Charles Duhigg takes us to the thrilling edge of scientific discoveries that explain why habits exist and how they can be changed. Distilling vast amounts of information into engrossing narratives that take us from the boardrooms of Procter & Gamble to the sidelines of the NFL to the front lines of the civil rights movement, Duhigg presents a whole new understanding of human nature and its potential.

Drawing on the latest findings in neuroscience, psychology, and behavioral economics - as well as the experiences of CEOs, educational reformers, four-star generals, FBI agents, airplane pilots, and Broadway songwriters - this painstakingly researched book explains that the most productive people, companies, and organizations don't merely act differently. They view the world, and their choices, in profoundly different ways.

Voulez-vous réussir votre carrière ? Mener la vie plus saine ? Ou enfin se débarasser de vos mauvaises habitudes ? New York Times best seller explore comment nous pouvons changer nos vies en changeant nos habitudes. "Le Pouvoir des Habitudes" écrit par Charles Duhigg, le journaliste d'affaire, primé du prix Pulitzer vous amène à la découverte passionnante des recherches scientifiques sociologiques sur les habitudes.

"We are what we repeatedly do," Aristotle once said. "Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." On the most basic level, a habit is a simple neurological loop: there is a cue (my mouth feels gross), a routine (hello, Crest), and a reward (ahhh, minty fresh). Understanding this loop is the key to exercising regularly or becoming more productive at work or finally tapping in to reserves of creativity. As this book shows, tweaking even one habit, as long as it's the right one, can have staggering effects.

“La productividad tiene que ver sobre todo con elegir ciertas opciones de ciertas maneras; con cómo nos vemos a nosotros mismos y nos enfrentamos a las decisiones cotidianas, con las historias que nos contamos y los objetivos fáciles que ignoramos, con el sentimiento de grupo que creamos entre nuestros compañeros de equipo y con las costumbres creativas que instauramos como líderes. Estas son las cosas que diferencian a los simplemente ocupados de los genuinamente productivos”. (Charles Duhigg)

Tutti abbiamo delle abitudini, buone e cattive, che ci fanno sentire bene o che ci danneggiano. Ma sappiamo come si formano? E, soprattutto, sappiamo come modificarle?
