Publisher's Synopsis
Habits and the Neuroscience of ChangeRead on your PC, Mac, smartphone, tablet or Kindle device.You're about to discover how habits develop and the role that neuroscience plays in automating behavior. Habits form in response to the integration of thoughts, behavior, affect, and neuroscience. Habits, whether good or bad, define our lives. According to Charles Duhigg, author of the book "The Power of Habit", 40-45% of everything we do in our daily lives is habitual. Habits can be good or bad. If you are not aware of the patterns that govern 40-45% of your daily life, your daily life will unknowingly reflect the positive or negative nature of those habits. If positive, the habits likely result in positive outcomes. If negative, these behaviors will likely be the source of much of the distress that people experience. The things you think about and do habitually significantly define your life. For instance, if you always think about eating a donut, the compulsion to eat one will be high and at some point or the other during the day, if not immediately, you will give in to the urge to grab a donut.On the other hand, if you consistently think about your health and diet, you are likely to make informed diet and exercise choices. This book will walk you through the habit formation process from a science perspective to ensure you break old habits easily and build new habits with ease from the point of knowledge. Obviously, a book of this size does not provide a comprehensive review of the role of neuroscience in habit formation. The book offers an overview of the habit formation process. A wealth of information is available should you desire to study the subject further. Professional assistance could be beneficial too. Here Is A Preview Of What You'll Learn...
