Better Than Before

Most of us have a habit we'd like to change, and there's no shortage of expert advice. But as we all know from tough experience, there is no magic 'one-size-fits-all' solution for everything from weight loss to personal organisation. In _Better Than Before_, Gretchen Rubin explores her theory of 'The Four Tendencies' dividing people into four basic groups: Upholder, Obliger, Questioner and Rebel. She answers the most perplexing questions about habits with her signature mix of rigorous research and engaging storytelling (and a personality quiz to establish which of the Four Tendencies fits you): \- Why do we find it tough to create a habit for something we love to do? \- How can we keep our healthy habits when we're surrounded by temptations? \- How can we help someone else change a habit? Rubin reveals the true secret to habit change: _first, we must know ourselves_. When we shape our habits to suit ourselves, we can find success- even if we've failed before. Whether you want to eat more healthfully, stop checking your phone, or finish a project, the invaluable ideas in _Better Than Before_ will start you working on your own habits - even before you've finished the book.
