In “The Power of Habit,” Charles Duhigg explores the neurology and mechanics of habit formation. After demonstrating that all habits form a three-step loop comprising a cue, a routine, and a reward, he offers a four-step framework for replacing the bad ones that can be summed up in the golden rule of habit change: adjust the routine, but keep the cue and the reward.
