What if you could harness the extraordinary power of your unconscious mind, which already determines so much of what you do, to achieve your goals? Shockingly, we spend nearly half our day repeating things we've done in the past without thinking about them. How we respond to the people around us; the way we conduct ourselves in meetings; what we buy; when and how we exercise, eat, and drink—a truly remarkable number of things we do every day, we do by habit.

And yet, whenever we want to change something about ourselves, we rely on willpower alone. We hope that our determination and intention will be enough to effect positive change. And that is why almost all of us fail.

Professor Wendy Wood is the world's foremost expert on habits. By drawing on three decades of original research, she explains the fascinating science of how we form habits and provides the key to unlocking our habitual mind in order to make the changes we seek.

Combining a potent mix of neuroscience, case studies, and experiments conducted in her lab, "Good Habits, Bad Habits" is a comprehensive, accessible, and highly practical book that will change the way you think about almost every aspect of your life.

In conclusion, "Good Habits, Bad Habits" is a must-read for anyone who wants to improve their life. It provides a powerful combination of neuroscience, case studies, and practical advice that will help you break bad habits and form good ones. By unlocking the power of your unconscious mind, you can achieve your goals and live a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life.
