How to Drop a Bad Habit: The Science of Why You Keep Going Back and How to Break the Cycle - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Why is it so hard to stop doing something you know is bad for you? Why do people go back to smoking, overeating, procrastination, compulsive scrolling, impulsive spending, and other habits they sincerely want to change?

How to Drop a Bad Habit examines the psychology behind these patterns and the science of why change is often harder than motivation alone makes it seem. Drawing on behavioral research, psychology, and evidence-based methods, the book shows how unwanted habits form, what keeps them going, and what can actually help interrupt the cycle.

Through the interconnected stories of Lucas, Maya, and Daniel, readers see how habits are tied to stress, relief, identity, routine, and emotional survival. Along the way, the book explores smoking, caffeine, overeating, sugar, alcohol, smartphone overuse, procrastination, impulse buying, sleep procrastination, self-criticism, and relapse.

This is not a book of miracle fixes or empty motivation. It is a practical, psychologically grounded guide for people who want to understand their behavior more deeply and change it more honestly.

If you’ve ever wondered why insight alone is not enough, why willpower fades, or how to stop starting over, this book offers a clearer way forward.
