2 Stars for The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business (audiobook) by Charles Duhigg read by Mike Chamberlain.

Maybe the author should have started with his own story instead of finishing with it. It was kind of a letdown to find out that this book was his own self help project that we ultimately paid for. His wife thought he was getting fat and he realized that he was in the habit of eating a cookie at work every day. So that’s why the stories feel random. The goal of this book was for the author to lose eight pounds and get out of the habit of eating a cookie every day. Some of the stories are interesting but others just let me scratching my head wondering what am I supposed to get from that.
