The Power of Habit (by Charles Duhigg), as summarized by edify.me is well written condensation of “The Power of Habit.” The summary is an enjoyable read and doesn’t lose any of the impact of the original text.

Duhigg explores what science has to teach us about how habits are formed, how they function, how they can be modified and how they influence our lives and our business world. The author thinks that habits are effectively subroutines that operate below our consciousness and allow us to process tasks and ideas without using as much higher order thinking – which creates mental efficiency. The author also provides powerful examples of how one can influence and alter our own (and others’) habits.
