The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg | Summary & Explained. Duhigg has managed to combine scientific research with his own ideas and personal experiences in such a way that the book tells many extremely compelling stories while teaching you everything you need to know about habits. Following habits is not only a key part of our lives but also a key part of organizations and companies.
The book was sparked by Duhigg’s fascination with the wit of a U.S. army major in Kufa, a city in Iraq, who nipped riots in the bud by persuading the small town’s mayor to keep food vendors out of large and growing gatherings – when people couldn’t fuel their anger and energy with kebabs, as they usually did, they just left. Tons of research and 8 years later, Duhigg published the go-to book about habits.
