Summary: Smoking, overeating, shopping, nail-biting... We all have a habit that we would like to get rid of, but where the brain is willing, the body is often weak. We take an in-depth look at habits and the new science on the interaction between brain chemistry and self-control. Slaves to Habit follows three individuals over a six-week period as they struggle to break their bad habits - smoking, overeating and compulsive shopping. In the end, we understand that habits aren' t destiny and that by harnessing the new science on habit, we can transform our businesses, our communities and our lives.
