Lecture 15 - Habits: Habit Cycle |
This lecture systematically lays down the entire process of habit formation - both good and bad habits - and insists that habit formation is a circuitous cycle that can either trap (in case of bad habits) or enable (in case of good habits) an individual, and that habits are made or broken one step at a time.
