GOOD HABITS, BAD HABITS The Science of Making Positive Changes That Stick

Wendy Wood combines accessible writing with a vocal personality that makes this state-of-the-art audiobook sound like kitchen table wisdom from a friend. Combining audible enthusiasm with clear, colorful phrasing, she keeps listeners glued to the fascinating insights she shares. She explains how we operate with two different systems in our day-to-day functioning--a system with which we operate consciously (with intentional appraisals and decisions) and one with which we act habitually and without thinking because of repetition and familiar contexts. By paying attention to what we repeat and allow to become habits, and by managing our cues and rewards, we can give ourselves an edge in getting things done, breaking unwanted patterns, and living the life we really want to live.
