'The world's leading expert on habits' – Matthew Syed, The Sunday Times
‘Wendy Wood is the world’s foremost expert in the field, and this book is essential’ – Angela Duckworth, bestselling author of Grit.
What if you could harness the extraordinary power of your unconscious mind, which already determines so much of what you do, to achieve your goals?
Shockingly, we spend nearly half our day repeating things we've done in the past without thinking about them. How we respond to the people around us; the way we conduct ourselves in meetings; what we buy; when and how we exercise, eat and drink – a truly remarkable number of things we do every day, we do by habit.
And yet, whenever we want to change something about ourselves, we rely on willpower alone. We hope that our determination and intention will be enough to effect positive change. And that is why almost all of us fail.
Professor Wendy Wood is the world's foremost expert on habits. By drawing on three decades of original research, she explains the fascinating science of how we form habits and provides the key to unlocking our habitual mind in order to make the changes we seek.
Combining a potent mix of neuroscience, case studies and experiments conducted in her lab, Good Habits, Bad Habits is a comprehensive, accessible and highly practical book that will change the way you think about almost every aspect of your life.

Fantastisk bok, og mye mer sympatisk enn de fleste andre selvutviklingsbøker. Det er tydelig at forfatteren har flere tiårlang erfaring med vaneforskning. Så istedenfor å gi velklingende og motiverende råd, som på lang sikt ikke holder stikk, gir hun heller drøssevis med konkrete og enkelt gjennomførbare råd som er godt fundert i empirisk forskning.Men det viktigste er at hun snur på hodet alle begreper om «viljestyrke»–«viljesvakhet», «selvkontroll», «dedikasjon», «målrettethet», «impulsivitet», «ubeherskethet», «latskap» osv. De som blir ansett for å ha «god viljestyrke», har egentlig bare VANER som gjør at de SLIPPER å bruke viljestyrken sin. Jeg, f.eks., trener ikke fordi jeg har så «god viljestyrke», men enkelt og greit fordi jeg ER VANT TIL det og dermed LIKER det; det går AUTOMATISK for meg. Med andre ord er folk som har en såkalt DÅRLIG viljestyrke egentlig bare folk som har en OVERBELASTET viljestyrke. Og det er jo oppløftende, syns nå hvert fall jeg :)
