This is a fantastic read for someone who is trying to get to know the habits, how you make or break them and how they make or break you. Charles Duhigg wonderfully conveys the message through various stories or incidents but don't expect this to be a scientific research journal/book and how to apply it. In his variety of stories, Charles introduced me to various people and how they used their habits to make a change which gave a jumping off point to new reads. Overall a splendid book.
