A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From the world's foremost expert on
power and strategy comes a daily devotional designed to help you
seize your destiny. Robert Greene, the #1 New York Times
bestselling author, has been the consigliere to millions for more
than two decades. Now, with entries that are drawn from his five
books, plus never-before-published works, The Daily Laws offers a
page of refined and concise wisdom for each day of the year, in an
easy-to-digest lesson that will only take a few minutes to absorb.
Each day features a Daily Law as well-a prescription that readers
cannot afford to ignore in the battle of life. Each month centers
around a major theme: power, seduction, persuasion, strategy, human
nature, toxic people, self-control, mastery, psychology,
leadership, adversity, or creativity. Who doesn't want to be more
powerful? More in control? The best at what they do? The secret:
Read this book every day. "Daily study," Leo Tolstoy wrote in 1884,
is "necessary for all people." More than just an introduction for
new fans, this book is a Rosetta stone for internalizing the many
lessons that fill Greene's books and will reward a lifetime of
reading and rereading.
In The Power of Habit , award-winning New York Times business
reporter Charles Duhigg takes us to the thrilling edge of scientific
discoveries that explain why habits exist and how they can be changed.
With penetrating intelligence and an ability to distill vast amounts of
information into engrossing narratives, Duhigg brings to life a whole
new understanding of human nature and its potential for transformation.
Along the way we learn why some people and companies struggle to
change, despite years of trying, while others seem to remake themselves
overnight.
We visit laboratories where neuroscientists explore how habits work and
where, exactly, they reside in our brains. We discover how the right
habits were crucial to the success of Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps,
Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, and civil-rights hero Martin Luther King,
Jr.
We go inside Procter & Gamble, Target superstores, Rick
Warren's Saddleback Church, NFL locker rooms, and the nation's largest
hospitals and see how implementing so-called keystone habits can earn
billions and mean the difference between failure and success, life and
death.
At its core, The Power of Habit contains an exhilarating
argument: the key to exercising regularly, losing weight, raising
exceptional children, becoming more productive, building revolutionary
companies and social movements, and achieving success is understanding
how habits work. Habits aren't destiny. As Charles Duhigg shows, by
harnessing this new science, we can transform our businesses, our
communities, and our lives.
