Charles Duhigg: How the science on habit can help you control yours

Amy Alkon's Advice Goddess Radio: "Nerd Your Way To A Better Life!" with the best brains in science.

This show isn't just a show -- it's a shovel to give you the substantive steps you need to dig out of your bad habits. And our discussion of the mechanics of a habit will also give you the tools you need to start -- and maintain -- positive habits.

My guest tonight is investigative journalist Charles Duhigg, and his very helpful best-selling book (recently mentioned in my science-based syndicated column) is The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business. 

Join me and all my fascinating guests every Sunday, 7-8 p.m. PT, 10-11 p.m. ET, at blogtalkradio.com/amyalkon or subscribe on iTunes or Stitcher.

Please order my new book, the science-based and funny "Good Manners For Nice People Who Sometimes Say F*ck" -- only $9.48 at Amazon. Orders help support my writing and all the work I do to put out this show and are much-appreciated! (Also, along with positive reviews in the WSJ and other publications, Library Journal gave the book a starred review: "Verdict: Solid psychology and a wealth of helpful knowledge and rapier wit fill these pages. Highly recommended.")
