Better Than Before

Mastering the Habits of Our Everyday Lives
Jan 24, 20191aa rated this title 3.5 out of 5 stars
Its an extremely well read audiobook - read by the author (who tend to be poor performers). She divides people into four tendencies (upholder, obliger, rebel, and questioner) and uses this to discuss all sorts of aspects of habits: creating conveniences and inconveniences, conflicts of values, monitoring, how to craft rewards, clarity of actions (specificity, the elimination of further interpretations and decisions), and much more. There are no chapters, its just section after section. The prefatory remarks are important to keep in mind: most of the book is useless to the reader, but one can easily be led astray by thinking that one could give advice or help a friend.
