Summary

Habits aren’t moral failings or signs of laziness—they’re evidence of a brain doing its job efficiently. The trick is to guide that efficiency. By recognizing cues, reframing rewards, and designing frictionless new routines, you can turn autopilot into an ally instead of an enemy. The science is simple but demanding: your brain will follow the patterns you feed it. Feed it wisely, and you’ll build a life that runs on purpose instead of impulse.
