Fascinating book about habits and how they can effect our entire lives. The first few chapters were really interesting as they focused on the psychology and biology of habits and how you can alter them by tweaking either the queue, routine or reward. As the book progresses, it moves from an inward looks at habits, to how habits effect our everyday lives, to organizational habits and finally how habits effect societies. Loved it, wish it had more examples of people who changed their daily habits to become something more. I'm also really interested in organizational efficiency and how habits can make or break entire institutions. If anyone has any good reads on the topic, I would love to know!
