1 Minute Summary: Better than before |
|
"Better Than Before" by Gretchen Rubin.
This book is all about the science of habit formation and how to create habits that stick. Here are 3 things I learned from reading the book. Understanding Your Tendencies: The first thing I learned is the importance of understanding our tendencies in forming habits. Rubin introduces the concept of the Four Tendencies, which categorizes people into Upholders, Questioners, Obligers, and Rebels. Knowing your tendency can help you understand why certain habits are easier or harder for you to stick to. The Power of Habit Stacking: Another key takeaway from the book is the power of habit stacking. This is the idea of combining a new habit with an existing one to make it easier to stick to. For example, you might make a habit of reading for 10 minutes after you brush your teeth every night. The Importance of Community: Lastly, I learned about the importance of community in habit formation. Rubin stresses that having a support system, whether it be friends, family, or a habit group, can greatly increase the chances of success in forming new habits.
