About Better Than Before by Gretchen Rubin
Have you ever stopped for a minute to think about how habits form the very structure of your life? Habits play a huge role in who we are, how we live, and the personal and professional success we achieve. Building habits takes some effort, but once a positive habit is established, it works overtime to help make our days happier, easier, and more productive.
If habits are the key to success, then, what is the best way to go about changing our habits? This question is the main focus of Gretchen Rubin’s Better Than Before. The book provides a framework for helping us to understand where habits come from and how we can shift them to work for us instead of against us. Whether the goal is to exercise more, eat healthier, be more productive at work, or improve our relationships, the key to success is found in Better Than Before.
