About this product
Product Information
New York Times Bestseller Washington Post Bestseller The author of the blockbuster New York Times bestsellers, The Happiness Project and Happier at Home, tackles the critical question: How do we change? Gretchen Rubin's answer: through habits . Habits are the invisible architecture of everyday life. 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. So if habits are a key to change, then what we really need to know is: How do we change our habits ? Better than Before answers that question. It presents a practical, concrete framework to allow readers to understand their habits--and to change them for good. Infused with Rubin's compelling voice, rigorous research, and easy humor, and packed with vivid stories of lives transformed, Better than Before explains the (sometimes counter-intuitive) core principles of habit formation. Along the way, Rubin uses herself as guinea pig, tests her theories on family and friends, and answers readers' most pressing questions--oddly, questions that other writers and researchers tend to ignore: * Why do I find it tough to create a habit for something I love to do? * Sometimes I can change a habit overnight, and sometimes I can't change a habit, no matter how hard I try. Why? * How quickly can I change a habit? * What can I do to make sure I stick to a new habit? * How can I help someone else change a habit? * Why can I keep habits that benefit others, but can't make habits that are just for me? Whether readers want to get more sleep, stop checking their devices, maintain a healthy weight, or finish an important project, habits make change possible. Reading just a few chapters of Better Than Before will make readers eager to start work on their own habits--even before they've finished the book.

Here, she uses her gifts to help you eat right, sleep well, stop procrastinating, and start enjoying all that life has to offer." --Susan Cain, New York Times bestselling author of Quiet "Gretchen Rubin combines deep research and observations from her own life to explain how habits emerge and--more important--how they can change. It's indispensable for anyone hoping to overhaul how they (almost unthinkingly) behave." --Charles Duhigg, New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Habit "Filled with insights about our patterns of behavior, Better Than Before addresses one of life's big and timeless questions: how can we transform ourselves?

It's loaded with practical, everyday tips and techniques that will guide you to success." --Dan Heath, New York Times bestselling coauthor of Made to Stick , Switch , and Decisive "Almost everyone wants to be 'better'--slimmer, smarter, better looking, more interesting, more productive--and we want to know we're improving, we want the reinforcing evidence. Gretchen Rubin's new masterpiece, Better Than Before , shows us how. Unlike other books on habits, Rubin's book gives us the specific tools and a blueprint for getting back on track--the fast track." --Brian Wansink, Ph.D., New York Times bestselling author of Slim by Design and Mindless Eating "With bold and original insights, Gretchen Rubin reveals the hidden truths about how to change our habits--from resisting junk food and hitting the gym to ending procrastination and saving money. Better Than Before is a gem, and the first habit you should form is reading a chapter every night." --Adam Grant, Wharton professor and New York Times bestselling author of Give and Take "Gretchen Rubin's superpower is curiosity. Luckily for us, she's turned her passionate inquiry to the topic of making and mastering habits. Weaving together research, unforgettable examples, and her brilliant insight, Better Than Before is a force for real change. It rearranged what I thought I knew about my habits, and I'm better for it." --Brené Brown, New York Times bestselling author of Daring Greatly and The Gifts of Imperfection

- m***c (23)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchasePackaging left a little to be desired, was crammed diagonally into a box that was too small, corners were unprotected against the outside and arrived a little beat up. Not sure if that was original condition or due to the packaging. Shipping was very fast and item was mostly as described.
