书籍简介

一本关于我们如何形成习惯的里程碑式的书，以及我们可以利用这些知识来进行积极的改变。

我们每天有43%的时间是在不假思索的情况下做事情，这令人震惊。这意味着我们几乎有一半的行为不是有意识的选择，而是我们的非有意识的头脑促使我们的身体按照学到的行为行事的结果。我们如何回应周围的人；我们在会议中的行为方式；我们买什么；我们何时以及如何锻炼、吃和喝------我们每天所做的事情，无论其复杂性如何，都是在我们的意识之外运作的，这真是了不起。我们自动地做这些事情。我们通过习惯来做这些事情。然而，每当我们想改变自己的某些事情时，我们就会依赖意志力。我们不断求助于有意识的自我，希望我们的决心和意图足以产生积极的变化。这就是为什么我们几乎所有人都会失败。但是，如果你能利用你的无意识思维的非凡力量（它已经决定了你所做的很多事情）来真正实现你的目标呢？

温迪-伍德以三十年的原创研究为基础，解释了我们如何形成习惯的迷人科学，并提供了开启我们的习惯性思维的钥匙，以实现我们所寻求的改变。好习惯，坏习惯》是神经科学、案例研究和在她的实验室中进行的实验的有效结合，是一本quan面、易懂、Z重要的是非常实用的书，将改变你对生活中几乎每个方面的思考方式。通过解释我们的大脑是如何对奖励做出反应的，如何接受来自我们周围环境的提示，以及在面临过多的摩擦时如何关闭，伍德巧妙地剖析了习惯的形成，展示了我们如何能够利用这些知识来形成更好的习惯。她清晰而精辟的工作表明，当我们努力建立我们真正想要的生活时，为什么仅靠意志力是远远不够的，并为那些想做出积极改变的人提供了真正的希望。

A landmark book about how we form habits, and what we can do with this knowledge to make positive change

We spend a shocking 43 percent of our day doing things without thinking about them. That means that almost half of our actions aren't conscious choices but the result of our non-conscious mind nudging our body to act along learned behaviors. How we respond to the people around us; the way we conduct ourselves in a meeting; what we buy; when and how we exercise, eat, and drink--a truly remarkable number of things we do every day, regardless of their complexity, operate outside of our awareness. We do them automatically. We do them by habit. And yet, whenever we want to change something about ourselves, we rely on willpower. We keep turning to our conscious selves, hoping that our determination and intention will be enough to effect positive change. And that is why almost all of us fail. But what if you could harness the extraordinary power of your unconscious mind, which already determines so much of what you do, to truly reach your goals?

Wendy Wood draws on three decades of original research to explain the fascinating science of how we form habits, and offers the key to unlocking our habitual mind in order to make the changes we seek. A potent mix of neuroscience, case studies, and experiments conducted in her lab, Good Habits, Bad Habits is a comprehensive, accessible, and above all deeply practical book that will change the way you think about almost every aspect of your life. By explaining how our brains are wired to respond to rewards, receive cues from our surroundings, and shut down when faced with too much friction, Wood skillfully dissects habit formation, demonstrating how we can take advantage of this knowledge to form better habits. Her clear and incisive work shows why willpower alone is woefully inadequate when we're working toward building the life we truly want, and offers real hope for those who want to make positive change.
