3 TED talks on habit

 Sep 13, 2016

Habits - we all have them, be they positive or negative. Habits are behaviours that have become automatic because we’ve simply done them so many times. We have to be aware what a significant impact habits have on our character, for good or for ill.

We've found 3 highly relevant TED talks that go into:

  • Breaking a bad habit
  • How to use our habits for creativity
