Habits are the invisible architecture of everyday life. It takes work to make a habit, but once that habit is set, we can harness the energy of habits to build happier, stronger, more productive lives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e So if habits are a key to change, then what we really need to know is: \u003ci\u003eHow do we change our habits\u003c\/i\u003e? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eBetter than Before\u003c\/i\u003e answers that question. It presents a practical, concrete framework to allow readers to understand their habits--and to change them for good. Infused with Rubin's compelling voice, rigorous research, and easy humor, and packed with vivid stories of lives transformed, \u003ci\u003eBetter than Before\u003c\/i\u003e explains the (sometimes counter-intuitive) core principles of habit formation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Along the way, Rubin uses herself as guinea pig, tests her theories on family and friends, and answers readers' most pressing questions--oddly, questions that other writers and researchers tend to ignore: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- Why do I find it tough to create a habit for something I \u003ci\u003elove\u003c\/i\u003e to do? \u003cbr\u003e- Sometimes I can change a habit overnight, and sometimes I can't change a habit, no matter how hard I try. Why? \u003cbr\u003e- How quickly can I change a habit? \u003cbr\u003e- What can I do to make sure I stick to a new habit? \u003cbr\u003e- How can I help someone else change a habit? \u003cbr\u003e- Why can I keep habits that benefit others, but can't make habits that are just for me? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Whether readers want to get more sleep, stop checking their devices, maintain a healthy weight, or finish an important project, habits make change possible. Reading just a few chapters of \u003ci\u003eBetter Than Before\u003c\/i\u003e will make readers eager to start work on their own habits--even before they've finished the book.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49609825026321,"sku":"GOR007892006","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49707688296721,"sku":"CIN0385348614G","price":3.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49946768867601,"sku":"GOR008999182","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50103712514321,"sku":"CIN0385348614VG","price":3.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50352295674129,"sku":"CIN0385348614A","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0385348614.jpg?v=1751421506","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/better-than-before-book-gretchen-rubin-9780385348614","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
