Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business

This course is only for CHES practitioners registered with NCHEC

NY Times Best Seller that was requested by multiple RDNs! A study by Duke University found that more than 40% of the actions people perform each day weren’t actual decisions, but habits. Our course is a comprehensive review of the evidence-based research regarding why habits exist, their benefits or downfalls, and how we can change them. Award-winning business reporter, Charles Duhigg, discusses a whole new understanding of human nature and its potential. The key to exercising regularly, eating healthy, losing weight, being more productive, and achieving success is understanding how habits work and how to get rid of the bad habits. Learn how companies study our habits to influence what we buy.

Why We Chose This Book

Several dietitians suggested this title and our reviewers totally agreed and requested to
review it.  This book spent more than sixty weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and has been translated into more than forty languages. The author is an award-winning journalist and researcher who had followed research on habits for over eight years before writing the book. He stated that he became interested in the power of habits when he was a reporter in Baghdad and learned from an army major how he stopped riots from happening by convincing the mayor to keep food trucks from the plaza area when a crowd of Iraqis gathered. People got hungry by evening and left the plaza instead of starting a riot. It was so simple but so telling about what humans do.
