Hello Wise Wordians,
Welcome back to another episode of ‘Wise Words Book Summaries’.
This week we are summarising ‘Good Habits Bad Habits’ by Wendy Wood which explores the mechanisms that underpin habit formation from both a psychological and neuroscientific perspective.
In this episode we cover:
- The difference between our conscious selves and our habitual selves
- The importance of persisting, despite our conscious intentions, to do otherwise.
- The areas of the brain responsible for habit formation and development.
- The four basic building blocks of habits; creating a stable context, reducing friction, making it rewarding, and repeating until it becomes automatic.
- How habits perform under stress.
- How to leverage variability to build new habits or modify the old ones.
If any of these topics sound interesting to you then make sure to give it a listen, and if you enjoy what you hear, why not leave us a like, subscribe to our channel, or even better, let us know your thoughts in the comment section below, your feedback means so much to us and helps to improve our podcast.
In addition to this, if you fancy implementing any of the actionable ideas we mention in this episode, head on over to our website at wisewords.blog where the Good Habits Bad Habits book summary will be waiting for you.
Next week we will be summarising ‘Tiny Habits’ by BJ Fogg so make sure you stay tuned for that.
We hope you enjoy it.
