Mind-bending ... fascinating ... engrossing

Questions about the meaning of life, the universe... this book can probably answer the lot... spectacularly illustrated.

—— The Sunday Express

Explains how insidious customization of the web is limiting our access to information, and narrowing rather than expanding our horizons

—— Chris Anderson

By explaining theories about the world, Cox and Forshaw show that the workings of the universe can be understood by us all

—— Fanny Blake , Woman & Home

There's been a lot of research over the past several years about how our habits shape us, and this work is beautifully described in the new book The Power of Habit.

—— David Brooks , The New York Times

If Duhigg is right about the nature of habits, which I think he is, then trying to get rid of these bad habits won't work. Instead, what is needed is to teach the managers to identify the cues that lead to these bad habits and rewards, and then learn alternative routines that lead to similar rewards, i.e. business and personal success.

—— Forbes

The Power of Habit is chock-full of fascinating anecdotes . . . how an early twentieth century adman turned Pepsodent into the first bestselling toothpaste by creating the habit of brushing daily, how a team of marketing mavens at Procter & Gamble rescued Febreze from the scrapheap of failed products by recognizing that a fresh smell was a fine reward for a cleaning task, how Michael Phelps' coach instilled habits that made him an Olympic champion many times over, and how Tony Dungy turned the Indianapolis Colts into a Super Bowl-winning team.

—— Los Angeles Times

There is a reason this book has been an international bestseller . . . I was hooked from the first page.

—— VIP Magazine

Written in a delectable prose that scatters flashes of poetry over a sardonic undertow of social comment, Edgelands is a lyrical triumph. On Britain’s grotty margins, the duo trace “desire paths” to find beauty and mystery in the rough darkness on the edge of town

Highly recommended
