I almost put this book down the first section, but am very happy I did not. The book starts off like a self-help book, and the author is repetitive, sounding like a inspirational speaker. Once I got past the fist section, I was presented with a multifaceted look at habit in variety of perspectives. I also eventually learned to appreciate the author's repetition. The author is very pointed when talking about habits, but presents a variety of stories to prove his theories. All-in-all, I enjoyed the book and I recommend it.
