Say you want to start going to the gym or practicing a musical instrument. How long should it take before you stop having to force it and start doing it automatically? The surprising answers are found in Making Habits, Breaking Habits, a leading psychologist’s popular examination of one of the most powerful and underappreciated processes in the brain. Although people like to think that they are in control, the vast majority of human behavior occurs without any decision-making or conscious thought.
Drawing on hundreds of fascinating studies, psychologist Jeremy Dean busts the myths to finally explain why seemingly easy habits, like eating an apple a day, can be surprisingly difficult to form, and how to take charge of your brain’s natural "autopilot" to make any change stick.
Witty and intriguing, Making Habits, Breaking Habits shows how behavior occurs more than just a product of what you think. It is possible to bend your habits to your will - and be happier, more creative, and more productive.

Reseñas de la Crítica
This book is filled with information and data from many, many research studies. It is a bit dry at times and often discouraging as well. I agree with several other reviewers that it was unnecessarily long winded in parts. All that said--I think the author is correct that the quick fixes and fantasy ideas presented in other books are really not helpful in the end. Far better to know up front what you are up against when you are trying to build positive or eliminate negative habits. Forget about the notion of "21 days to a new you". Think instead about 300 plus days instead!
At times I felt overwhelmed by too much information and too much negativity over all. Plus the overview of when habits become mental illness was pretty dark. To me, a very sobering look at change and the underbelly of habits.
The book does contain helpful points and methods. Just don't expect a positive and upbeat listening experience. A serious book about habits.

Would you consider the audio edition of Making Habits, Breaking Habits to be better than the print version?
I didn't read the book, however I found the narration to be outstanding in the audiobook. It got me hooked, and I was able to focus on what he was saying. In some non-fiction books I find myself zoning out and having to rewind to understand what was said, in this book I don't remember that happening, I just felt excited by Sean Pratt's reading.I think the print book would be good, because I would like to refer to some studies. Also, I found the beginning of the book super fascinating but now I can't remember what I learned form it, so the print book might be useful to jog my memory.
Which scene was your favorite?
The opening chapter of the book.What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?
That it takes on average 66 days to produce a new habit, and that it depends on the difficulty of the habit. Simple habits could take only 20 days, but more difficult habits still weren't a habit after 84 days (the end of the study). And some habits, if extrapolated after the study ended, might take as long as 254 days to form!Any additional comments?
There is a lot of important information about habits and what is needed to break them. And largely, they can't be broken, they must be replaced. There are a lot of helpful tips about how to make new habits, as well as tips on other related topics. And all of them are backed up by studies.Important, unexpected information about habits.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
It depends on the friend to be quite honest. The book I believed was golden because it gave you a lot of studies and research that the author did to prove his points in this book. However, some people want the 'quick fix' on how to help themselves without having studies and research to back it up. I believe this book is more self aware than self help, only because it tells you why you do certain things and how you can manipulate your mind to change those aspects.Who was your favorite character and why?
There were no characters in the book as the book was a self help book.Which scene was your favorite?
My favorite part of the book was when he was talking about how your sub conscience mind has more power than your conscience. Example would be, if you make yourself a cup of coffee Monday thru Friday every morning before you go to work, it would suddenly become a habit and a ritual for you. But lets say that Saturday you do not make coffee as you use that time to sleep in or relax. Then lets say Monday is a holiday as to which you do not have to work, you still might find yourself making that cup of coffee on Monday and waking up at a certain time on Monday because you have been in that habit for quite some time. This was the most interesting part to me.Could you see Making Habits, Breaking Habits being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
More of a documentary than anything. Again, it was more of a self help book than it is a character based book.Any additional comments?
The book is good to listen too and again should be enjoyed and listened too if you like the research and study aspect. I will admit however, you need to have full concentration on this book because it sometimes can get a bit boring.Deep Self-Help Book
