Good Habits, Bad Habits

Wendy Wood—the leading scientist on the nature of habit—provides the first scientifically grounded analysis of habit formation in Good Habits, Bad Habits: The Science of Making Positive Changes That Stick. In this course, you'll uncover Wood's knowledge about the complex processes behind habits and dive into the three bases for habit formation: context, repetition, and reward. You'll gain a toolkit for how to break unwanted habits and create new, desired ones. And you'll learn how to form and stick with habits that work with you, not against you. This course is provided in partnership with the Next Big Idea Club.
