Két héttel később, amikor elhagyta a korházat és otthoni
karanténba vonult, tudta meg, hogy a doki két napon belül az
intenzív osztályra került, a két haverja még mindig
lélegeztetőgépen volt. Orvosi vélemény szerint jó esélyeik
voltak.
– Szorítok értük, de ha meggondoljuk már túl is vagyunk a
karanténon és a víruson. Lehet, hogy az öregnek igaza volt, de
a szokások önmagukban jelentéktelenek, – gondolta, – a
jövőben majd online értekezleteket hívok össze, és online
tartom a kapcsolatot a haverokkal is - ez lesz most a menő, a
karanténnak meg annyi.

Award-winning "New York Times" business reporter Charles Duhigg takes us to the
thrilling edge of scientific discoveries that explain why habits exist and how they can be
changed. With penetrating intelligence and an ability to distill vast amounts of
information into engrossing narratives, Duhigg brings to life a whole new understanding
of human nature and its potential for transformation. Along the way we learn why some
people and companies struggle to change, despite years of trying, while others seem to
remake themselves overnight. We visit laboratories where neuroscientists explore how
habits work and where, exactly, they reside in our brains. We discover how the right
habits were crucial to the success of Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, Starbucks CEO
Howard Schultz, and civil-rights hero Martin Luther King, Jr. We go inside Procter &
Gamble, Target superstores, Rick Warren's Saddleback Church, NFL locker rooms, and
the nation's largest hospitals and see how implementing so-called keystone habits can
earn billions and mean the difference between failure and success, life and death.
At its core, "The Power of Habit" contains an exhilarating argument: The key to
exercising regularly, losing weight, raising exceptional children, becoming more
productive, building revolutionary companies and social movements, and achieving
success is understanding how habits work. Habits aren't destiny. As Charles Duhigg
shows, by harnessing this new science, we can transform our businesses, our
communities, and our lives.
