Robey, Dan, The Power of Positive Habits, 2003.

Dan Robey suggests that you can put your move to a healthier life on “autopilot” by establishing a series of positive habits, ranging from taking supplements to listening to your spouse. He defines a habit as "an acquired pattern regularly followed until it has become almost involuntary."

The book doesn’t go into much detail about how the habit-building process works, but instead gives hints for creating 81 specific habits that collectively could help you to "reach all the goals in your life automatically."

Robey describes not only primary habits, that can serve as the basis of healthy living, but also "foundational habits," like visualization, that can support your other habits. He even touches upon "thinking habits" – habitual thought patterns that can shape the way you approach much of life.
