Simple and short synthesis of lots of books/articles on the topic of habit forming.

The useful information in this book could be reduced to a note card. The illustrative examples read like a redundant series of infomercials.

I enjoy books that take science and academia and put them in terms that anyone can understand. Smart Thinking does that. It is essentially a book about how your mind works when it comes to solving problems. One of the main points I took away is that your mind needs to be able to connect the dots. You may not know how to solve a problem, but you have a lot of other knowledge that could be useful in helping you identify a way to solve the problem. You just need to let your mind connect the dots of what you do know to lead you to the answer. The other major takeaway is that most people remember three things about any encounter they have. I will be able to use this in my work to be more effective.
