Technology promises to make our lives easier and more efficient,
but too often it has just the opposite effect - we feel rushed,
harried, 'always on,' and we take refuge in bad habits like
procrastination. If this sounds like you, you need to try Smart
Change. It's based on the science of motivation and designed to tap
into our habit-forming circuits and use them to create a more
satisfying life

A smart book for all of us who have tried to change our behavior
and failed . . . Markman leverages the latest scientific research
on habits and motivations to offer a practical guide to successful
behavior change. In an engaging, easy-to-follow style, the book
explains how habits thwart our best intentions but also help us to
realize our goals. Markman starts with the insight that repeated,
consistent kinds of failures are the real challenges in life. He
then walks the reader through a series of simple steps to optimize
goals. As Markman explains, changing our behavior often involves
changing our environments so that it's easy to repeat desired
actions until they become the habitual, default response
