road.” — Time

“Rubin had learned that there was a close correlation between
habits and happiness, so she figured out how we form them, use
them, and change them. Once I came to understand habits as
harnessing our own laziness—making a habit frees you from
decision-making, which you can use to your advantage—my
relationship to them changed permanently.” — New Yorker
“Lays out life’s essential goals… serves as a kind of detailed
instruction manual on how to achieve them.” — New York Times Book
