The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and
Business
(Unabridged) by Charles Duhigg
A young woman walks into a laboratory. Over the past two years, she has transformed almost
every aspect of her life. She has quit smoking, run a marathon, and been promoted at work.
The patterns inside her brain, neurologists discover, have fundamentally changed.
Marketers at Procter & Gamble study videos of people making their beds. They are desperately
trying to figure out how to sell a new product called Febreze, on track to be one of the biggest
flops in company history. Suddenly, one of them detects a nearly imperceptible pattern—and with
a slight shift in advertising, Febreze goes on to earn a billion dollars a year.
An untested CEO takes over one of the largest companies in America. His first order of
business is attacking a single pattern among his employees—how they approach worker
safety—and soon the firm, Alcoa, becomes the top performer in the Dow Jones.

2. What do all these people have in common? They achieved success by focusing on the patterns
that shape every aspect of our lives. They succeeded by transforming habits.
In The Power of Habit, award-winning New York Times business reporter Charles Duhigg takes
us to the thrilling edge of scientific discoveries that explain why habits exist and how they can
be changed. With penetrating intelligence and an ability to distill vast amounts of information
into engrossing narratives, Duhigg brings to life a whole new understanding of human nature
and its potential for transformation.
Along the way, we learn why some people and companies struggle to change, despite years of
trying, while others seem to remake themselves overnight. We visit laboratories where
neuroscientists explore how habits work and where, exactly, they reside in our brains. We
discover how the right habits were crucial to the success of Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps,
Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, and civil-rights hero Martin Luther King, Jr. We go inside
Procter & Gamble, Target superstores, Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church, NFL locker rooms,
and the nation’s largest hospitals, and see how implementing so-called keystone habits can
earn billions and mean the difference between failure and success, life and death.
At its core, The Power of Habit contains an exhilarating argument: The key to exercising
regularly, losing weight, raising exceptional children, becoming more productive, building
revolutionary companies and social movements, and achieving success is understanding how
habits work.
Habits aren’t destiny. As Charles Duhigg shows, by harnessing this new science, we can
transform our businesses, our communities, and our lives.

The $100 Startup: Reinvent the Way You Make a Living, Do
What You Love, and Create a New Future
2/7
3. (Unabridged) by Chris Guillebeau
In The $100 Startup, Chris Guillebeau tells you how to lead of life of adventure, meaning and
purpose – and earn a good living.
Still in his early 30s, Chris is on the verge of completing a tour of every country on earth – he’s
already visited more than 175 nations – and yet he’s never held a “real job” or earned a regular
paycheck. Rather, he has a special genius for turning ideas into income, and he uses what he
earns both to support his life of adventure and to give back.
There are many others like Chris – those who’ve found ways to opt out of traditional
employment and create the time and income to pursue what they find meaningful. Sometimes,
achieving that perfect blend of passion and income doesn’t depend on shelving what you
currently do. You can start small with your venture, committing little time or money, and wait to
take the real plunge when you’re sure it’s successful.
In preparing to write this book, Chris identified 1,500 individuals who have built businesses
earning $50,000 or more from a modest investment (in many cases, $100 or less), and from that
group he’s chosen to focus on the 50 most intriguing case studies. In nearly all cases, people
with no special skills discovered aspects of their personal passions that could be monetized,
and were able to restructure their lives in ways that gave them greater freedom and fulfillment.
Here, finally, distilled into one easy-to-use guide, are the most valuable lessons from those
who’ve learned how to turn what they do into a gateway to self-fulfillment. It’s all about finding
the intersection between your “expertise” – even if you don’t consider it such – and what other
people will pay for. You don’t need an MBA, a business plan or even employees. All you need
is a product or service that springs from what you love to do anyway, people willing to pay, and
a way to get paid.
Not content to talk in generalities, Chris tells you exactly how many dollars his group of
unexpected entrepreneurs required to get their projects up and running; what these individuals
did in the first weeks and months to generate significant cash; some of the key mistakes they
made along the way, and the crucial insights that made the business stick. Among Chris’s key
principles: if you’re good at one thing, you’re probably good at something else; never teach a
man to fish – sell him the fish instead; and in the battle between planning and action, action
wins.
In ancient times, people who were dissatisfied with their lives dreamed of finding magic lamps,
buried treasure, or streets paved with gold. Today, we know that it’s up to us to change our
lives. And the best part is, if we change our own life, we can help others change theirs. This
remarkable book will start you on your way.

I’m Feeling Lucky: The Confessions of Google Employee
Number 59
(Unabridged) by Douglas Edwards
Comparing Google to an ordinary business is like comparing a rocket to an Edsel. No academic
analysis or bystander’s account can capture it. Now Doug Edwards, Employee Number 59,
offers the first inside view of Google, giving listeners a chance to fully experience the bizarre mix
of camaraderie and competition at this phenomenal company.
Edwards, Google’s first director of marketing and brand management, describes it as it
happened. We see the first, pioneering steps of Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the company’s
young, idiosyncratic partners; the evolution of the company’s famously nonhierarchical
structure (where every employee finds a problem to tackle or a feature to create and works
independently); the development of brand identity; the races to develop and implement each
new feature; and the many ideas that never came to pass. Above all, Edwards – a former
journalist who knows how to write – captures the Google Experience, the rollercoaster ride of
being part of a company creating itself in a whole new universe.
I’m Feeling Lucky captures for the first time the unique, self-invented, yet profoundly important
culture of the world’s most transformative corporation.
What the Critics Say
“This lively, thoughtful business memoir is more entertaining than it really has any right to be,
and should be required reading for startup aficionados.” (Publishers Weekly)
“Douglas Edwards is indeed lucky, sort of an accidental millionaire, a reluctant bystander in a
sea of computer geniuses who changed the world. This is a rare look at what happened inside
the building of the most important company of our time.” (Seth Godin)
“Douglas Edwards recounts Google’s stumble and rise with verve and humor and a generosity
of spirit. He kept me turning the pages of this engrossing tale.” (Ken Auletta, author of Googled:
The End of the World as We Know It)
6/7
7. “With a warm, approachable tone and perfect pacing, Edwards narrates his detailed account of
his experiences as an early employee of Google, Inc….Edwards seems a natural as he provides
a highly listenable audio performance….the listener walks away with a better understanding of
how true organizational creativity and brilliant technical engineering can impact the human
condition and world culture.” (AudioFile)
