The Power of Habit

In The Power of Habit, Charles Duhigg investigates the patterns that shape daily routines, workplace productivity, and societal movements. Drawing on scientific research and real-world examples, the book explains how neurological routines are formed in the brain and why they exert such powerful control over individual actions.

Through engaging case studies, Duhigg explores how organisations, athletes, and leaders use the mechanics of habit formation to achieve significant transformation. Readers learn why certain habits can be altered quickly while others prove stubborn, and how identifying key behavioural triggers makes change possible. This edition includes a new afterword discussing practical applications.

Well suited to professionals, university students, and general readers seeking to improve productivity, personal discipline, or organisational culture, this book offers clear insights into understanding and reshaping human behaviour.
