Summary: I was very honored to be able to interview Charles Duhigg on the publication day of The Power of Habit in paperback, out today, January 7. (http://booksonthenightstand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/habit.jpg) We discuss the genesis of the book, how to instill good habits in your children, the best habit for readers, "reward salience," and the new afterword included in the paperback edition. Thank you again to Mr. Duhigg for taking the time to speak with me!

He also recommends The Keep by Jennifer Egan (author of A Visit from the Goon Squad). Lately, Charles has been reading feature length articles via Longreads.com (http://longreads.com/).
