There is no "magic pill" to create or modify habits, however this book does a great job of deconstructing them and explaining how to have power over them. In addition to a clear description of what to do, he also has many interesting examples of experiments, businesses, and personal stories that show habits in action. A fast and engaging read all the way through.
