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.

From a leading crisis management expert, a breakthrough book about
performance under pressure that will change the way you think about
stress Upshift 1. a movement of a variable to a higher level e.g.
of performance, growth, frequency. When we experience too much
stress, we often feel like shutting down and escaping the source.
Neurologists call this 'downshifting', where your thinking shifts
from the cognitive and creative areas in the brain to the domains
associated with survival. But with too little stress, we become
disengaged and apathetic. So what happens in the middle zone - when
we experience what psychologists call positive stress - and how can
we best make use of it? In Upshift, international thought leader
Ben Ramalingam takes readers on an epic journey from early humans'
survival of the ice age to present times in our inescapable,
pernicious and ever-shifting digital landscape. You will hear
remarkable stories from a vast range of backgrounds, including
scientists, gamers, performers and artists, athletes and health
professionals and everyday people, all of whom carved new routes
around perceived barriers using their powers to upshift. Whether
discussing how city commuters navigate train cancellations to how
astronauts deal with life-threatening incidents, Ramalingam
presents a fascinating argument that we all have the power to
innovate, whether or not we identify ourselves as creative or
extraordinary. In a runaway world that is an engine for perpetual
crisis, Upshift is not only an essential toolkit for survival, it
is a roadmap for positive, and potentially life-changing
transformation and influence. You don't have to shut down - you can
upshift.
