The Power of Habit

This was a fascinating read, especially when you mix its ideas with other readings in neuroscience. The book breaks down the “habit loop”—cue, routine, reward—that governs so much of our behavior. What I found most interesting was thinking about this in the context of specific brain areas involved in habit learning. It’s a great book for understanding the mechanics of our own patterns and definitely sparks further curiosity into the science behind why we do what we do.
