Summary:

"The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg explores the science of habits, revealing a three-step loop: cue, routine, reward. Roughly 40% of daily actions operate on autopilot. The cue triggers the routine, leading to a reward, reinforcing the habit loop. Changing habits involves substituting just one part of the loop—the routine—while keeping the cue and reward intact. The author emphasizes willpower as a crucial habit, offering three uncommon ways to strengthen it: engage in disciplined activities, plan for worst-case scenarios, and preserve autonomy. Developing self-discipline in significant life aspects proves more effective than minor hacks.
