In The Power of Habit, Pulitzer Prize–winning business reporter Charles Duhigg takes us to the thrilling edge of scientific discoveries that explain why habits exist and how they can be changed. Distilling vast amounts of information into engrossing narratives that take us from the boardrooms of Procter & Gamble to sidelines of the NFL to the front lines of the civil rights movement, Duhigg presents a whole new understanding of human nature and its potential. At its core, The Power of Habit contains an exhilarating argument: The key to exercising regularly, losing weight, being more productive, and achieving success is understanding how habits work. As Duhigg shows, by harnessing this new science, we can transform our businesses, our communities, and our lives.

這是一本關於時間管理的書。

作者總結了前四代的時間管理理論後，發現每一代時間管理都存在這樣那樣的不足，“以自我為中心”成為了這些理論中最致命的缺陷。而在“第五代時間管理”中，作者提出了“分享－生活－平衡”這種全方位平衡的人生計劃，從此，他人被納入到自我的時間管理中。考慮他人，從而收獲更多的機遇、財富、資源以及因關心他人而帶來的幸福感和快樂，這種多贏的思維方式可以幫助我們收獲更豐盛的人生。

為了能幫助讀者更好地實現“分享－生活－平衡”的人生計劃，作者將整個計劃分成循序漸進的28個步驟，讀者每天祇需閱讀一節即可，在閱讀和實踐上，都不會有任何負擔。

Used in a variety of courses in various disciplines, Asking the Right Questions helps students bridge the gap between simply memorizing or blindly accepting information, and the greater challenge of critical analysis and synthesis.  Specifically, this concise text teaches students to think critically by exploring the components of arguments--issues, conclusions, reasons, evidence, assumptions, language--and on how to spot fallacies and manipulations and obstacles to critical thinking in both written and visual communication.  It teaches them to respond to alternative points of view and develop a solid foundation for making personal choices about what to accept and what to reject.
