CMLE Librarian Professionals discussion

Start your summer off right by reading The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business with CMLE! Learn more about human nature, why habits exist, and how they can be changed for the better!

Hopefully our June book The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business has been inspiring you to make some productive new habits! Here are some questions to think about as we approach the end of the month:

1. On page 21 the author writes, “Habits are often as much a curse as a benefit.” What are examples of habits that are beneficial or detrimental in your own life?

2. The author writes that it is possible to reawaken a habit, and that habits never disappear, but are changed by new cues, routines, or rewards. Describe a habit of yours that has been changed or replaced. Do you agree or disagree that this habit can be reawakened? Why? What would it take to reawaken your habit?

3. Make a plan for a new habit you would like to develop. Identify what you can use as a cue, the steps involved in creating a routine and the reward this new habit will deliver.
