Better Than Before: Mastering the Habits of Our Everyday Lives

Better Than Before: Mastering the Habits of Our Everyday Lives

New York Times BestsellerÂ |Â Washington Post Bestseller
Â
The author of the blockbusterÂ New York TimesÂ bestsellers,Â The Happiness ProjectÂ andÂ Happier at Home,Â tackles the critical question:Â How do we change?Â
Â
Gretchen Rubin's answer: through habits. Habits are the invisible architecture of everyday life.Â It takes work to make a habit, but once that habit is set, we can harness the energy of habits to build happier, stronger, more productive lives.
Â
So if habits are a key to change, then what we really need to know is: How do we change our habits?
Â
Better than Before answers that question. It presents a practical, concrete framework to allow readers to understand their habitsâ‚¬"and to change them for good. Infused with Rubinâ‚¬s compelling voice, rigorous research, and easy humor, and packed with vivid stories of lives transformed, Better than Before explains the (sometimes counter-intuitive) core principles of habit formation.
Â
Along the way, Rubin uses herself as guinea pig, tests her theories on family and friends, and answers readersâ‚¬ most pressing questionsâ‚¬"oddly, questions that other writers and researchers tend to ignore:Â

â‚¬Â Why do I find it tough to create a habit for something IÂ loveÂ to do?
â‚¬Â Sometimes I can change a habit overnight, and sometimes I canâ‚¬t change a habit, no matter how hard I try. Why?
â‚¬Â How quickly can I change a habit?
â‚¬Â What can I do to make sure I stick to a new habit?
â‚¬Â How can I help someone else change a habit?
â‚¬Â Why can I keep habits that benefit others, but canâ‚¬t make habits that are just for me?

Whether readers want to get more sleep, stop checking their devices, maintain a healthy weight, or finish an important project, habits makeÂ change possible. Reading just a few chapters of Better Than Before will make readers eager to start work on their own habitsâ‚¬"even before theyâ‚¬ve finished the book.
