#1 Habit Expert: Here's how you become dramatically better

0:00All right, Charles, I want to show you something.

0:02So in 2014, I wrote about how I lost weight, but previously I used your book a year before because I had a little bit of a drinking issue.

0:11And it was frankly was kind of ruining my life.

0:13And I read your book and the idea of the habit loop changed my life.

0:18And that's why I'm so excited to talk to you.

0:21I feel like I can rule the world.

0:22I know I could be what I want to.

0:25I put my lawn in it like my days off.

0:28On the road, let's travel now.

0:29Your book changed my life probably more than any book I've ever read.

0:33And I have read probably thousands of books.

0:35So I'll tell you the story.

0:36So basically, yeah, I had like an issue with alcohol and I read your book.

0:41And you can correct me if I'm wrong, but the way that I distinctly remember it is that a habit doesn't go away.

0:47You just have to change part of the routine and replace it.

0:50That's exactly right.

0:51One of the ways that people continue being stuck on this treadmill, and this sounds very oversimplified, but it's true in my case, like you start like craving carbohydrates the day after you drink.
