Sometimes being small has its advantages. So when Cloudette wants to do something big, she discovers that a little cloud can make a big difference.

Shockingly, we spend nearly half our day repeating things we've done in the past without thinking about them. How we respond to the people around us; the way we conduct ourselves in meetings; what we buy; when and how we exercise, eat and drink – a truly remarkable number of things we do every day, we do by habit. And yet, whenever we want to change something about ourselves, we rely on willpower alone. We hope that our determination and intention will be enough to effect positive change.

Les interactions sociales, le comportement sur le lieu de travail, la façon de manger, de boire, de faire du sport... Toutes ces actions découlent d'une habitude, d'automatismes, de gestes faits inconsciemment : c'est pour cela que la détermination et la volonté ne suffisent jamais à provoquer une transformation positive et durable. La professeure Wendy Wood s'appuie sur trois décennies de recherches inédites en neurosciences pour expliquer ces mécanismes et dévoiler la science fascinante de la formation des habitudes.

1838, England: When eighteen-year-old Frances Dickinson impulsively marries Lieutenant John Geils, all her hopes for her future are quickly shattered as she finds there is much about her husband she did not know.

We spend a shocking 43 percent of our day doing things without thinking about them. That means that almost half of our actions aren’t conscious choices, but the result of our non-conscious mind nudging our body to act along learned behaviors. How we respond to the people around us; the way we conduct ourselves in a meeting; what we buy; when and how we exercise, eat, and drink - a truly remarkable number of things we do every day, regardless of their complexity, operate outside of our awareness.

Wendy Wood apresenta a fascinante ciência de como formamos hábitos e mostra como desbloquear a mente para realizar as mudanças que buscamos. Ela explica que 43% das nossas ações não são escolhas conscientes. Fazemos automaticamente, por hábito. É assim que respondemos às pessoas ao nosso redor, decidimos o que comprar, quando e como nos exercitar, comer ou beber. Mas sempre que queremos melhorar algo em nós mesmos, contamos com a força de vontade, na esperança de que a determinação seja capaz de promover mudanças positivas. Por isso é que falhamos tantas vezes.

Mythos Willensstärke: warum wir nicht an mangelnder Disziplin scheitern. Sie fragen sich, warum es mit dem Abnehmen nicht klappt? Und eigentlich wollten Sie schon vor drei Jahren aufhören zu rauchen? Fakt ist: Wir verbringen sagenhafte 43 Prozent unseres Tages damit, Dinge zu tun, ohne darüber nachzudenken. Stattdessen folgen wir erlernten Verhaltensweisen: wie wir auf Menschen reagieren; wie wir uns bei der Arbeit verhalten; wann und wie wir uns bewegen, essen und trinken. Selbst komplexe Handlungen laufen oft automatisch ab. Dieses Hörbuch erklärt, warum es nicht auf Selbstdisziplin und Willensstärke ankommt - und wie wir positive Veränderungen erreichen.
