Habits dictate forty percent of our daily actions, operating on an invisible neurological loop that can be hacked to transform individual lives, organizational cultures, and entire societies.
The habit loop is an automatic neurological sequence consisting of a cue that triggers a behavior, a routine, and a reward that reinforces the pattern.
To change a detrimental habit, you must identify the craving driving it, keep the original cue and reward intact, and consciously substitute a new routine.
Certain keystone habits, like regular exercise or an organizational focus on safety, initiate a chain reaction of small wins that naturally transform other areas of life.
