Book is very interesting, to say the least. Plus informative and applicable to our own habits

I couldn’t turn it off! Charles Duhigg is so good at turning a long list of cases into a story that holds your attention. I was left inspired and encouraged. My friends are getting tired of hearing about Everything I learned, but I am already using his discoveries at work and at home.

I was not a big fan of the narrator. He tried different voices for different characters and it was annoying to listen to. The book itself is good with a wealth of examples to prove the authors points. Takes a weird twist at the end where it becomes very philosophical.

The information was interesting but mostly about product habits and not creating your own habits in life. Yes, you can take the things said and apply them to yourself but was hoping for more details about everyday habit forming.

This has some good research but most of the analysis are extremely poor... It's missing clear explanations for readers to apply those tips.

This is a very informative and practical book. It gives you an understanding about your habits and why you do things habitually. It also offers you how to analyze and come up with possible alternatives and solutions to change the habbits. I will listen to it a few more time. The Narrator also did a great job too.

This has honestly been the most I've learned from a book since high school. Very informative, amazingly interesting read. It's amazing how you can change the way you look at life itself in such a short time. I will read this again and again.

unbelievable good it helped me so so so so much

I loved this book! It gives a lot of examples but they really helped me understand how a habit forms and how to change it. At the end it also gives practical and easily applied advice.

Read and listened to this book on multiple occasions and always motivates and inspires me

enjoyable listen and useful information (both on habits and general). I’m planing on integrating some of the tips he gave, and trying to change my habits.

such a great listen.

Very interesting and helpful for both work related habits and the personal ones.

Great book!

Had to force myself through the book. narrator voice was so monotone, would have been better off reading it myself

Such a great book! Such great narration! Finished the book much faster than I anticipated! :)

Long but good.

Really great book...interesting and important topic with information that can be applied in personal and professional life.

The books is awesome ! I really like all the information and I'ts been eye opening as well as making me hopeful that I can change habits that I thought were hard rooted. The Narrator is awesome . This is the only book I've listened to on this app. I had other apps and this book was way more expensive on other audio books apps. The only thing that I would improve is that when I listen to it on my car sometimes it doesn't recognize what I had already read at the iphone while not connected. So not sure if its the app. or the car doing this trick ... but other than that ... AWESOME so fat !

Everybody should listen to this book. The writer did an incredible job and the narrators performance was spectacular! He made it very entertaining!

This book is great!! I enjoyed every minute of it!!

This is not a self help book it's more like a lot of research about habits and stories about people who had habits that they broke or stories about how scientists learned more about habits. I really walked away without really understanding what they wanted me to take away from the book. It was a boring waste of time.

I found it interesting to the end.

I enjoyed this book. It has a lot of good information about how habits are formed and even throws in a couple of ways to create new habits to replace your old ones. Although, I think there could have been more focus on habit reformation and creation. The narrator is pleasant to listen to but he can get overly invested in certain sections which can distract from the material.

Good an interesting in the sense of HOW habits are formed but I'm still not 100% convinced how to create new habits

I really appreciated the information in the book...the insights, takeaways and overall understanding of how habits effect one's life and how to take control of them. Highly recommend!
