Charles Duhigg
When people have a willpower failure, it's because they haven't anticipated a situation that's going to come along.

Some say because music is as much about personal expression as listening pleasure, sharing is integral to why songs have value in the first place.
Charles Duhigg

Charles Duhigg
Champions don’t do extraordinary things. They do ordinary things, but they do them without thinking, too fast for the orther team to react. They follow the habits they’ve learned.
Charles Duhigg
Simply giving employees a sense of agency- a feeling that they are in control, that they have genuine decision-making authority - can radically increase how much energy and focus they bring to their jobs.
Charles Duhigg
Between calculated risk and reckless decision-making lies the dividing line between profit and loss.
Charles Duhigg
Habits are malleable throughout your entire life.
Charles Duhigg
