Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I had originally heard about the habit loop from Life Hacks. I was very excited about this as I thought this was going to illustrate some conditioning techniques. I was personally wanting to use this book coupled with other books to improve my studying, eating, and exercising habits. What I had hoped this nearly 300 page book would be about was how to achieve this. Instead it's a lot of anecdotal stories about who has good habits and who has bad habits. It's almost as if the author's idea was to list a name of famous people we've all heard of to validate his "technique" but left out the chapter where it really breaks it all down. Oh no wait...that was the appendix right? The 6 page instructional breakdown that's the equivalent of a Dick and Jane book. Here let me break this down for you. We have literally 250 pages about Tony Dungy, Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, Target, Starbucks, and the successful people who run those places. What we don't have is a way help to help anyone create habits. If you want help with breaking bad habits look elsewhere.
