    Another InstaRead summary which was very well written. It is a great summary of "The Power of Habit". I actually have so many habits that I don't want to have and this book honestly taught me about how powerful a habit could be and this has influenced how I go about my day and trying to avoid my bad habits such as chewing my nails, etc.
  • Good Summary
