Habits are malleable throughout your entire life.
Charles Duhigg
Belief is easier when it occurs within a community.
Charles Duhigg
Once people learned how to believe in something, that skill started spilling over to other parts of their lives, until they started believing they could change. Belief was the ingredient that made a reworked habit loop into a permanent behavior.
Charles Duhigg
Willpower isn’t just a skill. It’s a muscle, like the muscles in your arms or legs, and it gets tired as it works harder, so there’s less power left over for other things.
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
At some point, if you're changing a really deep-seated behavior, you're going to have a moment of weakness.
Charles Duhigg
If you tell people that they have what it takes to succeed, they'll prove you right
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.

Self-discipline has a bigger effect on academic performance than does intellectual talent.
Charles Duhigg
Between calculated risk and reckless decision-making lies the dividing line between profit and loss.

The problem is that your brain can't tell the difference between bad and good habits, and so if you have a bad one, it's always lurking there, waiting for the right cues and rewards.
Charles Duhigg
Typically, people who exercise start eating better and becoming more productive at work. They smoke less and show more patience with colleagues and family. They use their credit cards less frequently and say they feel less stressed. It's not completely clear why. But for many people, exercise is a keystone habit that triggers widespread change.
Charles Duhigg
For a habit to stay changed, people must believe change is possible.
Charles Duhigg
When people have a willpower failure, it's because they haven't anticipated a situation that's going to come along.
Charles Duhigg
The biggest moment of flexibility in our shopping habits is when we have a child, because when you think about it, all of your old routines sort of go out the window, and suddenly a marketer can come in and sell you new kinds of things.
Charles Duhigg
It is facile to imply that smoking, alcoholism, overeating, or other ingrained patters can be upended without real effort. Genuine change requires work and self-understanding of the cravings driving behaviours.
Charles Duhigg
There's a natural instinct embedded in friendship, a sympathy that makes us willing to fight for someone we like when they are treated unjustly.
Charles Duhigg
Change might not be fast and it isn't always easy. But with time and effort, almost any habit can be reshaped.
Charles Duhigg
If you believe you can change - if you make it a habit - the change becomes real.
Charles Duhigg
There’s something really powerful about groups and shared experiences. People might be skeptical about their ability to change if they’re by themselves, but a group will convince them to suspend disbelief. A community creates belief.
