Review:
This book is full of stunning insights into everyday behavior. I am a habit oriented person (if I get interrupted in the middle of a habitual cycle, I often cannot get back on track). I have also had good luck changing my habits, but it sometimes takes a while and, when stressed, I've found myself falling back into my old habit. This has long perplexed me and this book has some explanation for why this happens. It also has some ideas for how I might overcome my tendency to fall back on old habits even when they have not served me well. Add in the insight into how companies use data about people and this is quite an intruiging read.
