THE POWER OF HABIT

Charles Duhigg weaves theory and research from multiple disciplines to explore how habits are formed and why they’re so difficult to break. Duhigg’s habit model—a loop consisting of a cue, a behavioral routine, and a resulting reward—is explored from neurological, organizational, and cultural perspectives. Mike Chamberlain offers a warm, steady narration, packed with inquisitiveness and enthusiasm. His delivery of the supporting case studies from contemporary business and modern history brings the complexity of the topic to life and keeps listeners engaged. Listeners will find insights and applications that can be helpful in their personal and professional lives. K.C.R. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2012]
