Book about Habits (Fran?)

I remember a while ago Fran recommended a book about habits. I'm now ready to read, but I can't find the recommendation with a search.

Fran, what was the book you recommend?

I was going to send a private message to ask, but I thought I'd make it a forum post in case other people are also interested. So does anyone else have recommendations on the theme?
 
not sure what about "habits" you mean
what are you trying to learn about?

Maybe the sort of things discussed in this thread....

How do you ‘unlearn’ bad habits?

I’ve been playing pool for over 40 years without ever being shown how to play & as a result I’ve acquired a number of bad habits, the worst of which is a ‘chicken wing’ where my elbow moves out to the side as I shoot resulting in the cue not moving in a straight line. Over the last year I’ve...

Good find, Bob. Pin go to the thread that Bob found and read post #26. BC21 recommended a book that looks good. Maybe that's what you're thinking of?
 
Thanks guys. I spotted that recommendation (though it might have been in a different thread) when I searched. I thought I remembered Fran recommending a different one, but I might be mis-remembering. There are a few well-rated books on the topic.

I did a lot of research on habits that came from multiple places, so I don't recall recommending a specific book. Maybe you're combining my comments with someone else's recommendation, since I did have a lot to say on the subject.

Could be. I placed an order for 'Atomic Habits', which had a slightly higher rating and seemed more practical than BC21's book. I might take a look at his one too.
 
I've read Atomic Habits. It's a great book. I'd rank it up there with "The Power of Habit", by Charles Duhigg. Both books are excellent. You can't go wrong with either one.

I'm glad you said because a little part of me felt guilty for not taking the recommendation :LOL:
