review 1: Sometimes I am skeptical of "summary" books, but this was a really good read. I picked up the Summary e-cook of Charles Duhigg's book The Power of Habits in 30 Minutes as a part of my ongoing journey this year to change my personal belief systems, and the current "reality" of my life. Most books that I've read on the subject of changing our beliefs or mindsets use stories from individual people as examples. Duhigg brought in evidence from major US corporations and government institutions, which are after all, masterminds at understanding individual habits on a large scale. I really appreciated all of the scientific evidence too, as I'm a little tired of the typical "evidence" in self-help books being contributed by names such as "Susan F" or "Larry D." Duhigg clearly w... moreent the extra mile in brining the research to the reader. Duhigg did not disappoint, nor did the reviewer who put together this very concise summary . This is a fantastic read for anyone interested in a deeper understanding of how habits are formed.bits, and by result, their realities.
review 2: THE POWER OF HABIT IN 30 MINUTES by Charles DuhiggReview by Kevin S.The Power of Habit in 30 Minutes is a brief and succinct condensed version of Charles Duhigg’s full length volume. The slim volume, that can, indeed, be gone through in less than thirty minutes, briefly breaks down each chapter as well as the major points of Duhigg’s main argument that habits cannot be eliminated but only changed. The guide covers Duhigg’s breakdown of what a habit is and how its cycle of cues, or triggers, routines, and rewards can be altered and re-shaped to form what the author refers to as “good” or “successful” habits. The guide, also, covers Duhigg’s methodology, which is strictly approached from the view of Science and Science only. There are further explorations of Duhigg’s belief that habits are mere functions of neurobiology and that the more we understand neurobiology, the easier it will be for people to change certain habits.The guide explores certain organizational, societal, and individual examples of habits and how they seemingly were changed through reconditioning. The author also claims that important habits seem to be dependent on willpower and that willpower is not inherent but can be learned by anyone. For Duhigg, willpower is the key to individual and organizational ”.The guide effectively, if briefly, summarizes the full length book and an be productively used as an introduction to the arguments presented by Duhigg in his complete book. less
