Habits are unconscious and form even if memory cannot
Habits seem to form in basal ganglia
Habit loop (p.19) → Habit loop
Cue—trigger, when and what habit to use
Routine
Reward—whether habit worth remembering
There are much more habits than we usually think of. Almost every often repeated decision becomes a habit. → Habit is unconscious behavior
You can change the habit if you keep cue and reward the same. You can change routine however you like. (p.72) → You can change habit routine as long as you keep cue and reward the same
New habits may fail at critical times unless you believe that everything will be fine (p.82-86)
Habit cannot be eradicated, only replaced. (p.92)
Belief is essential and it’s easier to get it in the group of people (p.93)
Willpower is easier to maintain if you plan ahead for adversities.
We are responsible for our habits because we know they exist, what they can lead to, and we can try and change them. → We are accountable for our habits
