Good Habits, Bad Habits

Wendy Wood Β· 2019
πŸŽ™ Narrated by Wendy Wood
79/100
πŸ‘ Worth It

Wendy Wood synthesizes 30 years of her own peer-reviewed research into a genuinely environment-first take on habit formation that stands apart from the willpower-and-motivation crowd. The three-pillar framework is practical, though actionable steps are woven into narrative rather than laid out cleanly for easy reference. Wood narrates her own book, and the author's voice lends the science real authority β€” a meaningful upgrade over a generic read.
