Making Habits, Breaking Habits: Why We Do Things, Why We Don't, and How to Make Any Change Stick
Jeremy Dean
Book
As the title, "Making Habits, Breaking Habits" by Jeremy Dean suggests, this book centers around what goes into the creation of our habits and how one may hope to discontinue these behaviors if they are no longer benefiting them.
Habits are defined as repetitive behaviors we complete automatically with little to no conscious effort.
Habits are often formed not from intention, but from the sheer repetition of the first coincidental occurrence, for instance driving a specific route. (Just another reason to be intentional in every action we do, especially new ones.)
Friendships are mostly activity-based, not attitude-based. Therefore, your habits create your social circles and the extent of your socializing. (So join some clubs and get some friends!)
Since habits are contextual, the best way to create a new habit is to create an if-then intention—if I reach an elevator, I will take the stairs
