About this listen
We shape our environment, and habits shape us.
The key to personal development is understanding habit formation, which is the natural process in which behaviors are repeated over time and become automatic or even an atomic habit. You will learn that habits can begin without your intention; also, the habits of highly effective people are intentional and long-lasting.
"Making good habits, breaking bad habits" is also deliberately cultivated or destroyed to conform to one's personal goals and objectives. Bad habits and good habits are formed by a process in which behavior becomes habitual due to repetitive actions. The term NLP or (neurolinguistic programming) also can create good habits while breaking bad habits. The process can be slow or quick, depending on factors such as the type of habit or the individual.
You will learn about:
- Keystone habits
- Facts about habits
- Understanding how our minds work
- The drastic change myth about habits
- The optimal growth rate
- The behavior change problem
- Habits of the mind
Habits can make or break a person's life. Good habits can lead to happiness and self-actualization, whilst bad habits inhibit a person's quality of life, resulting in depression and failure. This self-help book will teach you everything about habits, changing your habits, habit formation, and much more. Now is the time to learn how to destroy that bad habit once and for all. Let's get started.

Did you know that 45 percent of your activity is habitual or automated?This means that even though you have beautiful and powerful conscious intentions, your subconscious mind will take over nearly half of the time and automatically guide you towards instant gratification over long term satisfaction. This doesn’t have to be a bad thing, though. You can train your subconscious mind to operate differently. Through a change of your small daily habits, you can change your entire life for the better.

Excellent Ideas
This was a good thing for me to hear so close to the New Year! I've dragged some old bad habits into my marriage and have really wanted/needed to be rid of them. Oddly enough, they didn't bother me when I was single : ) But they are definitely an issue when you have a partner. So...I plan to be more cognizant of these behaviors so I can change them. This book has really helped precipitate that change. Thank you for reminding me about the importance of making that change now and into 2023.
