Why I Kept Failing (Until I Read This Book)

For years, I thought discipline was about willpower. If I just pushed harder, I’d stay consistent in the gym. If I just tried more, I’d stop procrastinating. But no matter how many times I told myself this time will be different, I always slipped back into old habits.

Then I read The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg, and it hit me I wasn’t failing because I lacked discipline. I was failing because I didn’t understand how habits work.

This book revealed something that changed everything for me: every habit follows a loop, cue, routine, reward.
Once I saw the pattern, I finally understood why I kept falling back into bad habits and how to replace them with better ones.

I started small.

  • Instead of “forcing” myself to go to the gym, I made putting on my workout clothes the first step.

  • Instead of trying to stop scrolling my phone, I moved my charger across the room.

  • Instead of relying on motivation, I hacked my environment to make good habits automatic.

And it worked. My gym sessions became effortless. My productivity skyrocketed. I stopped "trying" to be disciplined, because my habits took care of it for me.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in bad habits, or struggled to build the right ones, this book will open your eyes like it did for me.

The Power of Habit

The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg explores how habits are formed through a three-step loop: cue, routine, and reward, and how understanding this cycle allows individuals, businesses, and societies to transform behavior. Using real-world examples, the book reveals that habits can’t be eliminated but can be reshaped, leading to lasting personal and professional change.
