'The world's leading expert on habits' – Matthew Syed, The Sunday Times
‘Wendy Wood is the world’s foremost expert in the field, and this book is essential’ – Angela Duckworth, bestselling author of Grit.
What if you could harness the extraordinary power of your unconscious mind, which already determines so much of what you do, to achieve your goals?
Shockingly, we spend nearly half our day repeating things we've done in the past without thinking about them. How we respond to the people around us; the way we conduct ourselves in meetings; what we buy; when and how we exercise, eat and drink – a truly remarkable number of things we do every day, we do by habit.
And yet, whenever we want to change something about ourselves, we rely on willpower alone. We hope that our determination and intention will be enough to effect positive change. And that is why almost all of us fail.
Professor Wendy Wood is the world's foremost expert on habits. By drawing on three decades of original research, she explains the fascinating science of how we form habits and provides the key to unlocking our habitual mind in order to make the changes we seek.
Combining a potent mix of neuroscience, case studies and experiments conducted in her lab, Good Habits, Bad Habits is a comprehensive, accessible and highly practical book that will change the way you think about almost every aspect of your life.

First Psychology book I’ve ever liked. A lot of discoveries and confusing words but I am glued to her every word nonetheless.

8/10- in our everyday life we function on 40 % habits every day- how to avoid bad habits ex rewarding when not to do them- willpower do not have a big impact once you have the good and bad choice right in-front of you- to make a habit easier to adapt to make them apart of a queue habit, I do X after I brush my teeth- the life without habits are exhausting for the brain for that reason moving to a new place can be overwhelming due to we need to creat new habits - the timeframe for making new habits and defining them as habits are different for everyone - habits is about consistency and if you slip up one day that does not mean you lost the habit it just mean you are human- how are environment can shape our habits Other comments:- a lot of studies that backs up her statements - the author herself is recoding this book which can be both flattering and unflattering when she from time to time laughs about some good point she is trying to make

Extremt jobbigt att lyssna på. Författaren låter som att hon är påväg att fnittra vid flera tillfällen och ofta märker man att hon borde ha gjort en omtagning. Orkar inte lyssna mer än 2 h på henne.
