Destilando una gran cantidad de información en narrativas fascinantes que nos llevan desde las salas de juntas de Procter & Gamble hasta las líneas laterales de la NFL y las primeras filas del movimiento por los derechos civiles, Duhigg presenta una comprensión completamente nueva de la naturaleza humana y su potencial. En su esencia, El poder de los hábitos contiene un argumento estimulante: La clave para hacer ejercicio regularmente, perder peso, ser más productivo y lograr el éxito es entender cómo funcionan los hábitos. Como muestra Duhigg, al aprovechar esta nueva ciencia, podemos transformar nuestros negocios, nuestras comunidades y nuestras vidas."--
