There was a mixed response to this book. One member loved it, several were neutral and some found it tedious and not worth the time spent on it. Well-written. |

Mixed reactions to the book, initial reaction was that it was a textbook. However, the majority found it interesting, well written and researched. Prompted good discussion. |

Led to some interesting discussions about why we do some of the things we do, at certain times, in a particular way. |

This was a really interesting read. Lots of easy to read examples of changing habits. |

All enjoyed this. We rated this book nearly as highly as 'The Brain That Changes Itself'. Simple message with really interesting stories to illustrate or give examples. |

This book didn't appeal to everyone in the group, with most members skim-reading parts that contained the stories about individuals rather than the more scientific explanations/analysis. Consensus was that it certainly provided insight into how the human brain works, but was a book that had to be persevered with, rather than enjoyed. |

Interesting in parts but not enthralling. A bit like a textbook. Some interesting case studies. |

Our group found the whole subject of 'habits' and what 'drives' them, very thought provoking. It gave us cause to ask ourselves 'why' we really did some things, and what stops us from establishing some obviously good habits. |

An "interesting" book. We looked at the cover in trepidation, but found it very readable. Most finished the book. Several could identify people they knew in this book. |

Not a book that grabbed you at first, but although not an easy read, it was interesting in parts. Nobody "enjoyed" it, but we had a good free-ranging discussion especially on bad habits of our youth! |

Some loved it, some refused to read it as it seemed like a textbook, but the discussion was lengthy. The book was certainly thought provoking. |

A book we were all pleased we read, even those who were a bit unsure at the start. A vigorous discussion was had at our meeting, and it was interesting how many 'habits' folk recognised in themselves as they read the book. Very well-written, if somewhat journalistic in style. It certainly gave us a lot of food for thought. |

This is a really well researched book with a lot of information told in a really engaging way by introducing and telling the stories of people and how science or economics applied in their lives. Those of us who read the book got a lot out of it - information and ideas for applying in our lives. It doesn't have to be read in order and some people decided to skip chapters they weren't compelled by without really missing out. |
