#1 The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do, and How to Change

This is my favourite . The first thing I did after I woke up was to check my phone. After reading this book I was able to break that habit into reading a chapter from a book.

The book contains three parts .

1.) The habits of Individuals

2.) The habits of successful organizations.

3.) The habits of societies.

It explains the habit loop of cue, routine and reward. Using the techniques explained in the book you will be able to use the habit loop to change your bad habits to good. It contains stories of people and organizations , who benefited from their habits.
