This week, author Ross Asdourian is back to discuss our The Stacks Book Club bookThe Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Businessby Charles Duhigg. We talk about how habits work, the habits we want to change, and we look at two current political movements as habit formers in the community. While we do discuss many examples from the book in this episode, we don’t really spoil anything, as this is a non-fiction book without any plot twists or turns. So feel free to enjoy it, even if you’ve yet to read the book.
