Charles Duhigg – The Power of Habit
Charles Duhigg mentions the power of cravings in influencing new habits. The following extract illustrates how cravings drive new habits.
“Cravings are what drive habits. And figuring out how to spark a craving makes creating a new habit easier. It’s as true now as it was almost a century ago. Every night, millions of people scrub their teeth in order to get a tingling feeling; every morning, millions put on their jogging shoes to capture an endorphin rush they’ve learned to crave.”

Charles Duhigg throws light on the working of the brain and formation of habit loop in his best selling book The Power of Habit. Great insight and a inspiration to inculcate good habits for a healthy life.
“This process within our brains is a three-step loop. First, there is a cue, a trigger that tells your brain to go into automatic mode and which habit to use. Then there is the routine, which can be physical or mental or emotional. Finally, there is a reward, which helps your brain figure out if this particular loop is worth remembering for the future: THE HABIT LOOP”

Charles Duhigg illuminates us with this fascinating insight in The Power of Habit.
“As people strengthened their willpower muscles in one part of their lives—in the gym, or a money management program—that strength spilled over into what they ate or how hard they worked. Once willpower became stronger, it touched everything.”

In his best selling book “The Power of Habit”, Charles Duhigg has very aptly illustrated the power of human habits. This book is an inspiration to many how want to inculcate good habits in their daily lives.
“Habits are powerful, but delicate. They can emerge outside our consciousness, or can be deliberately designed. They often occur without our permission, but can be reshaped by fiddling with their parts. They shape our lives far more than we realize—they are so strong, in fact, that they cause our brains to cling to them at the exclusion of all else, including common sense.”

Champions don’t do extraordinary things. They do ordinary things, but they do them without thinking, too fast for the other team to react. They follow the habits they’ve learned. Thus champions master ordinary things based on development of habits.
Charles Duhigg enlightens on this in his book The Power of Habit
Habits make us do extraordinary things by accumulation of incremental results over a period of time. But this needs focus, concentration and stamina.
