The book is written by Charles Dihugg. Which has really great insight on history of habit formation ; how we can form a habit ; how it can be stopped/changed ;how a habit can be deeply routed in an entire society ; ways to decide small habits which can lead to great changes .

To get the most benefit out of this book as I always mention to read the book slowly and just like your academic course book. This will really change you. Try to mark points or keep a diary for it to note them in your own language.

The next part is the actual solution on a personal level, which can help you to change your habits on a real scale.

This is a thoughtful model about the habit formation, understanding which will be helpful in forming and changing the habit that we already have and the habits we want to form. Some fact checks about habits before start reading about the habit loop. 1.     Habits storage (Basal ganglia) in the brain is not same as the memory storage (different parts of brain, depending upon the type of memory) means if a person is suffering from a disease which is affecting his memory storage, won’t feel any problem in performing his daily routine which he was habitual to. 2.     Habits formation is a not lengthy nor a short process, it depends upon the extent of desire which is behind that habit. 3.     Habit is a thing which a person does mostly unconsciously, so when we set a habit it takes less will power to do it so choose them...
