The neuroscience of why bad habits are so hard to break – and how evidence-based strategies can help us change our behavior more effectively.<\/b><\/p>\n

We all have habits we\u2019d like to break, but for many of us it can be nearly impossible to do so. There is a good reason for this: The brain is a habit-building machine. In\u00a0Hard to Break<\/i>, leading neuroscientist Russell Poldrack provides an engaging and authoritative account of the science of how habits are built in the brain, why they are so hard to break, and how evidence-based strategies may help us change unwanted behaviors.<\/p>\n

Hard to Break<\/i>\u00a0offers a clear-eyed tour of what neuroscience tells us about habit change and debunks \u201ceasy fixes\u201d that aren\u2019t backed by science. It explains how dopamine is essential for building habits and how the battle between habits and intentional goal-directed behaviors reflects a competition between different brain systems. Along the way, we learn how cues trigger habits; why we should make rules, not decisions; how the stimuli of the modern world hijack the brain\u2019s habit machinery and lead to drug abuse and other addictions; and how neuroscience may one day enable us to hack our habits. Shifting from the individual to society, the book also discusses the massive habit changes that will be needed to address the biggest challenges of our time.<\/p>\n

Moving beyond the hype to offer a deeper understanding of the biology of habits in the brain,\u00a0Hard to Break<\/i>\u00a0reveals how we might be able to make the changes we desire – and why we should have greater empathy with ourselves and others who struggle to do so.<\/p>\n
