Today marks the beginning of an eight-week prequel leading up to the release of 'Think Remarkable', a new book by Katy Milkman, an economist at Wharton and an expert in behavioral psychology. Each week, an article will be published explaining a critical skill necessary for personal transformation and making a difference. This week's topic focuses on breaking bad habits. The article provides guidance on identifying barriers, such as psychological factors, and removing them to reduce temptation. It also emphasizes the importance of informing others about your goals and enlisting their support. Commitment devices, such as setting penalties for not following through and making public declarations, are suggested as effective strategies. Additionally, creating associations by pairing positive activities with replacing bad habits or negative consequences is recommended. The article highlights real-life examples of individuals who have successfully abandoned negative behaviors using these techniques. 'Think Remarkable' offers a comprehensive exploration of these ideas and features endorsements from notable figures like Jane Goodall. The book aims to empower readers to overcome mediocrity and transform their lives. Pre-orders for the book are available.'
