Counselors, therapists, and others in the helping professions love it because it emphasizes healing while also exploring how we might change our ingrained habits of thinking. Although it contains valuable information for those who suffer from anxiety or anxiety-related conditions, it may be too weighty for certain readers.

"This has been very helpful in my reimagining my emotional eating. While I won’t say that reading a book alone has made every choice easier, I can say that in this book, I’ve reconsidered that my habit isn’t personal or a plot to make me obese or unhealthy. It was merely something I did to protect my emotions. I appreciate this book so much. It’s an easy, freeing read."

Charles Duhigg, a New York Times business reporter, penned this book about habits after seeing rioting mobs in several countries and noticing how people behaved collectively. While studying the “loops” our brains use to preserve energy, his interest in human behavior was piqued. It’s a fascinating look at how habits can undercut our best intentions and influence our actions in more ways than we might think.

"I really enjoyed reading the Power of Habits. It gives good insight to your own personal habits and you gain an understanding of what your brain is doing as we create these habits. It helps you to understand the broader picture of how businesses are using habits as well as how habits have been used in the past."
