Good Habits, Bad Habits by Wendy Wood
The Science of Making Positive Changes That Stick
This science-based guide explains that a large share of daily behavior runs on autopilot, triggered by context cues and repetition rather than willpower. It shows how to design environments that make good routines easy—by using stable cues, repetition, and immediate rewards—and how to weaken unwanted patterns by adding friction, changing contexts, and breaking cue-response links. Drawing on experiments and everyday examples, it demystifies motivation and offers practical tools like habit stacking and implementation intentions to make change stick.
