Charles Duhigg
“The Golden Rule of Habit Change: You can't extinguish a bad habit, you can only change it.”
Charles Duhigg, The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business

“This explains why habits are so powerful: They create neurological cravings.”
Charles Duhigg, The Power Of Habit: Why We Do What We Do In Life And Business

Nina Teicholz
“Since the 1970s, we have successfully increased our fruits and vegetables by 17 percent, our grains by 29 percent, and reduced the amount of fat we eat from 43 percent to 33 percent of calories or less. The share of those fats that are saturated has also declined, according to the government’s own data. (In these years, Americans also began exercising more.) Cutting back on fat has clearly meant eating more carbohydrates such as grains, rice, pasta, and fruit. A breakfast without eggs and bacon, for instance, is usually one of cereal or oatmeal; low-fat yogurt, a common breakfast choice, is higher in carbohydrates than the whole-fat version, because removing fat from foods nearly always requires adding carbohydrate-based “fat replacers” to make up for lost texture.”
Nina Teicholz, The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter, Meat and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet

Louise Penny
“Beauvoir knew that the root of all evil wasn’t money. No, what created and drove evil was fear. Fear of not having enough money, enough food, enough land, enough power, enough security, enough love. Fear of not getting what you want, or losing what you have.”
Louise Penny, The Beautiful Mystery

Louise Penny
“Plenty of time for a close friendship to turn to hate. As only a good friendship could. The conduit to the heart was already created.”
Louise Penny, The Beautiful Mystery
