<p><b><i>***NEW YORK TIMES </i></b><b>BESTSELLER***</b><br><b><br>The author of <i>The Happiness Project </i>and "a force for real change" (Brené Brown) examines how changing our habits can change our lives.</b><br><br> <b>"A LOT OF US WOULD LIKE A RUBIN IN OUR LIVES" <i>The Times</i></b><br> <b>"FASCINATING, PERSUASIVE" <i>Guardian</i></b><br><br> Most of us have a habit we'd like to change, and there's no shortage of expert advice. But as we all know from tough experience, no magic, one-size-fits-all solution exists. 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.<br><br> In <i>Better Than Before,</i> acclaimed writer Gretchen Rubin identifies every approach that actually works. She presents a practical, concrete framework to allow readers to understand their habits - and to change them for good. <br><br> Infused with Rubin's compelling voice, rigorous research, and easy humour, and packed with vivid stories of lives transformed, <i>Better Than Before</i> explains the (sometimes counterintuitive) core principles of habit formation and answers the most perplexing questions about habits: <br><br>* Why do we find it tough to create a habit for something we love to do? <br>* How can we keep our healthy habits when we're surrounded by temptations? <br>* How can we help someone else change a habit? <br><br> Rubin reveals the true secret to habit change: first, we must know ourselves. When we shape our habits to suit ourselves, we can find success - even if we've failed before. <br><br> Whether you want to eat more healthfully, stop checking devices, or finish a project, the invaluable ideas in <i>Better Than Before</i> will start you working on your own habits - even before you've finished the book.</p>
