- In this ingenious talk, Pulitzer Prize winning writer Charles Duhigg seamlessly combines informational facts from research, anecdotes from real events, and personal experience with insightful observations to explain why human behaviors are compelled by habit. Citing research evidence supporting the positive effects of willpower on long-term decision-making, Duhigg encourages listeners to teach willpower by supporting the mindful contemplation of consequences and resisting impulses that otherwise result in persistent habits.
Charles Duhigg is a renowned author and business reporter for The New York Times, where he has made numerous contributions. Mr. Duhigg is the author of "The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do In Life", recognized as one of the best books of 2012 by The Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
"the power of habit" changed my life.
It changed my life too. It's the best investment I ever made. And the irony is that I made it by mere chance and not by habit because I don't usually go into a store to buy whatever book I find in there. lol It was 14 euros well spent for sure.
Jordan Schlansky how?? It's boring for me.. I'm on the first chapter though. No offense intended.
Vish It was life changing because even that basic knowledge the author offers about habits, I lacked. Yes, it's boring because of the many examples I admit. To be honest I stopped reading halfway through and picked it up again after two weeks and finished it just because I was curious to see if there is anything more to learn about the subject.
It's truly generic and not a self-help book (which I have no problem with that because I don't like them much), but it triggered an interest in me about the subject and I started learning more about it when I finished it.
I wouldn't recommend anyone to finish the book. I struggled myself many times.
But if you're in the first chapter, I would suggest to keep reading. There are some interesting facts he describes later. I found them interesting at least.
Jordan Schlansky well, thanks.
One of the best books I have read till now.
So that's why I'm so hooked on YT. Routine: look left, scroll down. Reward: entertainment consumed. Cue: brain hungry for more. Quick, easy, endless looping.
You're automatically cued to watch the next video when you see all those thumbnails you could choose from. But yes the very first video watched would have a different cue.
Let's not forget novelty.
oh hey, look a comment. *hastily puts a reply on there*
That isn't a cue, more a response/outcome. SRO is the common habitual paradigm
Yeah!
This man has literally changed my life with his research and Book.
I've heard that the marshmallow story is incomplete. Followup research showed that children from wealthier backgrounds, where resources were common, were less distressed about leaving the marshmallow alone, accepting the promise of future doubling of the marshmallow. While children from poorer backgrounds, were more insecure about future promises, and would take the one they had on hand since they didn't expect a future additional marshmallow.
+Nick Radonic I'm not saying this to be rude, but it would be nice to have some additional info on that part of the research. You would normally think that something like that would be either controlled or screened for somehow.
+nyk4ever I'm saying that human behavior has many layers of meaning. No single motivation or rational is sufficient to define a behavior. We are not machines. As for the incomplete reference: www.bloomberg.com/bw/articles/2012-10-17/what-does-the-marshmallow-test-actually-test - well, I didn't feel like Googling it at the time....
Wow
Long term follow-up study is always different
Also it might have been because poor children cant afford the marshmallow
This is the really important stuff. Research like this is what can really influence your life.
This guy wrote a book to explain to himself why he shouldnt eat more cookies. Well played sir
hahahaha, that's what we call passion!
Thanks for actually making me laugh about his cookie “joke”
As soon as he made that joke, it immediately made me think, is his book actually only trying to sell us an experience. And joke is on us?
Whatever it takes to change a habit, right?
Is more than that. Habits shaped your life . If you understand how the habit loop work you will transform your relation with money, people, love, your body, brain. The book is a treasure.
Some habits have the power to start a chain reaction and change other habits. In other words, some matter more than others in remaking businesses and lives. These are keystone habits, and they can influence how people work, eat, play, live, spend, and communicate. Keystone habits start a process that transforms EVERYTHING.
For example, my keystone habit was waking up early every morning. This caused me to be more productive, allowing me to create a morning routine full of other good habits.
For more on this, I summarized the book into 7 key lessons.
When I get into an obsessive mental knot over a creative problem, I get up and go outside, despite the self-repudiating inner dialogue. I love taking in the fresh air and scent of blossoms. Five minutes later, I return to my desk without the mental knot and a pleasant feeling of starting fresh.
This book changed my thinking , my behavior and my life, forever.
Thank you and respect this guy who write great book to share his knowleage.
What I learn here is that you should have a cue and rewards to build your habit. And to resist the temptation, you should not focus on it, distract yourself from it. Also, try to plan ahead of time because soon you will fail your own challenge when you get hot-blood. Fail to plan is plan to fail.
Groundbreaking and refreshing nueroscience behind our habit forming loop, I strongly recommend this book for everyone who is struggling to achieve any goal! Love this Tedtalk!!
Euna J , yes madam. I am too . its great book
Euna J let's go on a date

Not lying, I too was in the middle of eating a cookie 😂
LOL!
I started reading his book (The Power of Habit) today. I'm excited to learn (or re-learn) something new... here's to acquiring new value- adding habits 🥂😀👏🏽🤞🏽💃🏾
💯just try another book " Atomic Habits " by James Clear even listen to it as an audio book.
Thank you Ben Affleck!
I don't know, I'm waiting more for him to bust out with the Joker voice during this Ted talk. Am I the only one that sees Mark Hamil?
XD
@@Splooie010 good call
Why do i see Jason Sudekis ?!!
Bit closer to Casey Affleck, now that you mention it
Nice presentation, friendly speaker with fully delivered content.. just exactly what I was looking for. Thank yoi Charlie!
His book is wonderful.
And the power of habit is the will to change. The words I remember from the book and has impacted my life in a positive way. Thank you Charles Duhigg!!
Love this lecture and the book. Love that the science shows through so you can make your own reasoning and combinations. Very insightful and helpful in my quest to understand the working principles of human health.
This is a perfect example of being successful to follow the three components cue, behavior and rewards.
Habits related to behavior
Behavior related to obedience
Obedience related to success
This will definitely changes someone's life
Great words 👏and I invite everyone to build a good habit for life which will change his life for better standards and even his children, family, relatives...etc
" Listening to audio books is one of the greatest habits that enable you to learn brilliant new ideas of great thinkers and authors. Just try Listening to " Atomic Habits " by James Clear
Such an eloquent and affable speaker with knowledge and a heart to share.
Such a great talk and I absolutely love that book. Thanks Charles
I've read this book for a couple of times, and it totally changed my life.
I read his book, and it had a great impact on my life
Love it!!
"The Power of Habit" is without a doubt one of the most influential and influential books ever published.
I really love the book 💖 it's such a useful guide to change my bad habits
I loved his book!
Everything you do -
Everything you encounter -
Everything you experience -
------- is changing your brain --------
"The power of habit" book is really good, initiates to bring changes...
I stumbled upon this book, as random as possible, and I must say - once I started reading the book I was so absorbed. I started reading summaries, I started looking for interpretations, recommend it to every person, talk about it - that's how much I love this book. There's an example with a girl biting her nails, and not only her nails, he explains in detail. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I DID MY ENTIRE LIFE. And that's right - it's just physical sensation. And for the first time in my life I started believing that I can finally get rid of this annoying habit - and this is a HUUUUUGE accomplishment. I'm really happy that I finally made it to create a habit for me that doesn't imply biting the skin around my nails. Anyhoo, this just confirmed that if i did this (I fought with this habit via multiple ways), I can change the way I want - got me really motivated.
I don't agree with all the example, but mostly yes. Great book, I love it!
Great 👍just try listening to " Atomic Habits " as an audio book .it is worth your time
Listening to his Audio Book, "The Power of Habit" Highly recommend and now to apply. Pivot my behavior
Totally my favourite book. It gave me a fresh framework.
This man chances my life With his research, the book is mind blowing ❤❤❤
read the book all the way..learned more about history than how to solve my bad habits.
was it helpful?
I want to quit smoking and to change some other habbits
wanted to read it
my opinion, no it did not help me at all, it keeps talking about history and keeps telling stories that maybe will motivate you but no information at all how to solve your problem,
try brian tracy he is more unto business but he teaches well on how to properly enhance your good habits
thank you!) I guess, I will read Tracy's books too
+Дима Чубрей it's worth the read. Reading is about taking that information and applying it to your life. Definitely worth the read.
Vanna In thank you, I've started already;)
I love this book so much. There are many scientific studies that are very interesting. Must read!
The power of habit is an awesome book
1. Habit Loop: Cues, Routine, Rewards. (Rat+Chocolate Experiment)
2. Improve Will power: Choosing a reaction ahead of time. Be aware of my Hot-Blooded and Cold-Blooded emotional states. (Marshmallow Test).
THE HABIT LOOP: CUE ->ROUTINE ->REWARD
Changing Habits starts with improving Will Power.
Pre-empt the temptation by deciding what you will do
HABIT TO DISCOURAGE BEHAVIOUR: Decide on the cue and the reward to help you avoid a temptation X.
HABIT TO ENCOURAGE BEHAVIOUR: Decide on the cue and the reward to help you complete a new task Y.
I've also read EIGHT HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE by Stephen Covey.
He asserts
PRINCIPLES & VALUES ->Create CHARACTER ->character builds HABITS ->highly effective habits build SUCCESS (GREATNESS)
I'm thinking the cross over is substitute WILLPOWER with CHARACTER or keep BOTH
PRINCIPLES & VALUES ->CHARACTER ->HABITS ->SUCCESS (GREATNESS)
PRINCIPLES & VALUES ->WILLPOWER ->HABITS ->SUCCESS (GREATNESS)
PRINCIPLES & VALUES ->CHARACTER|WILLPOWER ->HABITS ->SUCCESS (GREATNESS)
Choosing a reaction ahead of time seems to be key. Priming the pump, so to speak. 💪
This is one of the books inspiring me when I in the deepest dark. Thanks
Extremely helpful for what I am working on... Brand story telling can borrow a lot from this. Help people make decisions ahead of time.
Great talk, dude had a great book as well. Easy read, insightful, and entertaining to boot.
Clifford Wu what book is this you talk about?
@@beeayeembeeeye Power of Habit
Marshmellow test was performed with 90 individuals from stanford preschool. Recently it did not reproduce with a sample of 900 individuals.
Absolutely love Charles,I went vegan after reading his book💚
Such a simple and beautiful question. This guy is suscinct
For the first time see the famous writer Charles Duhig, after a long time his book become reference of many people in youtube of motivation channel :D
Thanks very much
Very informative interesting and motivating!
Brilliant talk and so informative. Thank you.
This is a most impressed lecture. Thank you, Mr. Duhigg. We share your insight.
Never knew so much went into a habit. Interesting correlations. Good speaker.
Great to meet the author of the "Power of Habit" book. All thanks to Technology. I'm talking about Smart devices and Internet networks that made this possible. Someone Working on technology is rewarding for me.
Great and useful information, keep up the good work!
Absolutely brilliant book. Half way through.
I made a habit of watching yed talks daily. Also writing comments like this one , well i hope to improve the quality of my comment writing skills ... Im still working on that
thanks a lot...great piece of information on building habbits
One of the best ted talks
Outstanding presentation, great presentation skills
The Power of Habits is a masterpiece.
This is a proper video on habits!
This book changed my life.
I love this guy and I have his book, now time to actually read it ;)
gaceqkos i just finish it after 2 weeks of slowly reading it between my commute. Its one of the best book I’ve ever read ☺️
Overall, very engaging talk about habit with interesting clips from the classic marshmallow experiment. When the young boy who resisted eating the 1st marshmallow to get the 2nd actually got the 2nd one he binged on both - classic abstinence violation effect which is actually problematic! Also important to note: the brain does not "turn off" when we get to the point of automatically exhibiting new habits. Automatic behaviors just get encoded in different regions of the brain - lots of brain activity in many different regions is needed to both form and activate habits!
Christine Molnar he can't put his whole book into a 16-minute talk.
Christine Molnar , hey is it you read from any book or you did any experiment or PhD on this dear ?
I have a reaction planned out that works. As someone who previously was poor at receiving a compliments, now I say "What a great compliment! Thanks"
Alex Walker , that's great dear. It will make better.
Solid talk! That said, did I miss something, or did he totally not tell us what Starbucks did to increase their employees' willpower?
Literally asking myself the same question!! He totally did not answer that question... What did starbucks do??
Have you tried reading the book? It was on the book
its in the book
Anticipate the problems you will encounter and plan you reaction ahead of time
the book "the power of habit" changed my life.
Thanks. That's pretty effective for me!!!
Love this talk, but I can’t deal with the constant beep that sounds under it
His book, The Power of Habit, and of the psychologist he mentioned in the video, Angela Duckworth's Grit, are life-changing. If you are fed up with your life and you feel a lack of passion and perseverance is preventing you from reaching your fullest potential, I highly recommend that you read both of their books. Seriously. Go get yourself a copy of each. The science behind them will break it down for you, and will make you realize that real change is achievable.
On the other hand Robert Cialdini's Influence is like the holy grail of human behavior....
I highly recommend his book it will open your eyes about your habits.
Heba Fallatah , hey thank you dear. I an reading now
Make decisions ahead of time-
Choose reaction ahead of time - hot blooded(Bina soche) and cold blooded(soch kar) emotional states
Predimating cues and reward
Reading this book now and I love it!!!
and u r cute
Such a good book. 🔥
Deciding ahead of a time what to do I think falls into that Mel’s 5-2-3-2-1, breaking the body autopilot mode.
Or perhaps in this case, tweaking what you do on autopilot. You need Less willpower in deciding as you allready have decision.
Instead of being hungry & forcing yourself then and there to choose a healthier option, especially more difficult if it takes longer time.
I am reading his book The power of habit.
Just finished his book "The Power of Habit"... MUST READ!
Just completed the book. The power of habits. I recommend.
I am glad I bought this guy's book!
Best book I've read all year
Am reading his book right now
Amazing concept!
I just love him!
Long live behaviorism!!!
Thank You so much for Your sharing. I enjoy very much. And I wonder which program were used to present ?
I don't know who need this ,but you can build great habits in your life ,and not just any habits that aligns you with your purpose.
I can't wait to get to his book! :D
I think the professor from Stanford who discussed how to create habits was more evolved than this one. He also said that a cue or trigger and consequential reward is necessary to perform the action you want to make a habit. The difference with his model is that you don't have to create cues. That's really hard! All you have to do is put the action after something you already do (put on the dogs leash before a walk, brush your teeth, eat a meal, use the bathroom, etc). It seems much more effective because that way your brain doesn't have to do the extra work of remembering the cue. Also, it doesn't make since to equate willpower with a habit because that implies that the former can be automatic instead of something that has to be trained just like the kid had to adjust in order to avoid eating the marshmallow. He was building his willpower to accomplish the goal at hand, but after the 150th test, he would need very little willpower if any at all to complete the action and get the reward that he knows and loves!
I feel like most of what you have written above is essentially what is in the book. However, if you have not been able to develop a new habit despite the 'things that you already do' you need a trigger.
He talks about it in the book. He can't put his entire book into a 15-minute talk. But he does have a habit of using the wrong words for things I have noticed. He shouldn't be using the word willpower. The book is better than this talk and is way more detailed
whos that professor? any video or something plz
Worked for Starbucks for 2 years. Can confirm.
Roenazarrek , thank you dear.
How did Starbucks finally fix the issue?
@@ashikpaul345 TH-cam: calling out on the jobless Bitches that torture cheap workers
Does the trick
@@PuppyTheTiny whaaaaatttttt
@@PuppyTheTiny Lol well said !
my reply to the starbucks part of this video:
Sometimes you get bad customer service, because you are a bad customer.
we teach our children to not bully others, yet we bully others in customer service positions when we dont get our way from the "false sense of entitlement" best summed up as The Customer is Always Right.
See you are talking about a straw man argument.
IT IS NOT CORRECT TO SAY: Sometimes you get a bad customer service because you are a bad customer.
If you had been trained correctly or even understood Customer Service....CS is not a response to Customer action, its part of your job "deliver product with good customer service".
The book influenced me so much
Thnx for reminding
it does not matter if it's good or bad, everything that you repeat you become good at.
super powerful talk!
Great talk!
This book is amazing. I made animated summary to never forget core message.
This is how u end up onlineshopping so much,
u brows the internet, find something nice, stops
then think about all the situations or moments ur going to benefit having this item,
when you've justified enough things for the item for you to own it, u buy it
Then u wiat for it to arrive, until u get the reward in the post,
and most likely don't use the item as often as you thought u would. Becaus ethe reward of the shopping was reciving and opening the package, not the item itself
Then u go back to the internet, and look for a new instant reward you can give yourself in the mail
So many companies use this tactic it’s crazy
I have his book and I assumed he would be an old grey haired guy, but he's a cutie!
And the book is really good. You should all buy it.
13:57 really important when I see a cue (this will help me aLOT) helps you fight cue. Needs to be specific on what you will do to fight against cue. WHATCH THIS PART
Loved it !
Every morning i wake up & take thyroid tablet but i didn't find any reward , sometimes when medicine finished i didn't take few days so no affect on my body no reward ,but still i m taking it from 8 yrs since i test thyroid as i feel sleepy during office
great talk!
Actualy you are not changing the habit
instead
create a new habit WOW THAT IS A COOL SECRET ! ;)
obviousely. that's what it's all about🙄
If you read his book, you will see that it is better to change the routine.
The book is a life changing.. (i thank God everyday that i bought it.😍😍😍)
It's extremely priceless.
