The Power of Habit
I just finished this book and loved it. Really got me looking at the things I habitually do in a different way. Why do I do the things I do? Why are bad habits so hard to break? Why is it hard to make new habits stick. I don't very often think that one book can make a major change in my life, but this one just might do it.
