The Power of Habit + Broken Oath
"The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business" by Charles Duhigg is a nonfiction piece that delves into the patterns of human existence and why we behave the way we do. Namely, what are our habits and how do we alter them? Duhigg explores the science of habits and also takes time to provide some interesting, and slightly disturbing, examples of the way big businesses are exploiting the pattern seeking nature of human behavior. But, not to despair because the center of this book’s argument is really that the key to success in anything is to form a habit around it. Now all you gotta do is start the habit of being bookish + boozy by grabbing yourself a drink and cracking the spine of this bad boy. (Published by Random House)
