Gretchen Rubin's thesis is fascinating, persuasive

This takes on every unhelpful habit you've ever had at home or at
work and shows you how you can fix it. A life-changer. I more or

This book struck a nerve. It basically is the book "How to Get Up

decision-making, which you can use to your advantage - my
relationship to them changed permanently
*New Yorker*
Just read this book... It's about the psychology of habit and is an

changes in your life... It's excellent

sledgehammer to old-fashioned notions about change.

We feel exhausted, but also feel jacked up on adrenaline, caffeine
and sugar. We feel frantically busy, but also feel that we're not
spending enough time on the things that really matter.' Were truer
words ever written?
