Hello Wise Wordians,

Welcome back to another episode of ‘Wise Words Book Summaries’.
This week we are summarising ‘Elastic Habits’ by Stephen Guise which proposes a flexible framework that can be adopted to help the process of habit formation.
In this episode we cover topics such as:

Why flexibility is so fundamental to building habits
Lateral and Vertical Flexibility

Why you should focus on strategies rather than tactics
How to fully apply the elastic habits framework
