" Good quasi-self help / introspective read. Looks at how to modify behaviors that are negative without searching for an overarching goal to begin with (i.e. I need to stop doing this because it's bad, rather than, I need to achieve this and these are the steps to get there). "

" A really great book about how habits are formed and changed in individuals, groups, and society. As such, the book is really successful as a both a self-help book and a sociological study. "

" I listened to this book via audiobook and I am glad that I did, because it was a times a little dry and I don't know that I would have made it through if I read it on paper (that's the nice thing about audiobooks, you can kind of zone out through boring parts). That being said, this book was really interesting. I particularly enjoyed the section on how corporations use the power of habit to be more effecient and market to their customers. This book also offers some interesting ways to change your own habits in your life. Overall, pretty interesting read. "

" Great read. Loved the chapter about Target stores. Seemed the analogy stretched too far with the habits of social change (civil rights movement, etc). A great one to have read before January 1st- I definitely will be trying some of the strategies as New Year's Resolutions! "

" This is really a great book. It's just that I was reading it during finals (NOT a good idea, by the way), and the library had reserves on it when it was due... But it has some great stuff in it. It's a bit like Outliers in the tone of writing and delivery. "

" Some really helpful stuff in here, but reads like a New York Times story... wait.... "

" Excellent book about our habits, how they born, why and most importantly how to change them consciously. "

" Pretty awesome so far. An interesting read on becoming a habitual person whether good or bad. Unfortunately, late-night pizza has been habitual for a lot of my life. :-o "

" I like the way Duhigg sectioned out personal, business, and societal habits. It helped in overcoming some of the science/statistical oriented material. Interesting perspective and insight into why we do some of the things we do. "

" If you read one book, read this one. It emphasizes how we are creature of habits to which we didn't choose or even know about. Fascinating. "

" Disappointing. Another self-help book that could be summarized in a pamphlet. "

" Cue, routine, reward: everything is a habit! If you want to understand how to make your habits work for you, or understand how organizations manipulate habits to create success, read this book. Now. "

" Backed with stats, stories and anecdotes, it's a well-written, in-depth read of how habits affect people in unexpected ways. The various stories used in the book are illuminating, and brings some pointedness to the acts of habits good and bad. "

" We all need habits to get through out day. This book gives us a glimpse into how habits can go wrong, how we can train our brain to make changes and how sometimes we are powerless in the face of our habits. There are great examples throughout the book. "

" This is a fascinating book and should be required reading for everyone. "
