I don’t know if you’re following the current interest in “habits” but there is a great interest (has been for perhaps 2 years) around habits - especially after the books “Habit”, “Nudge”, and “Hooked" came out.
I’ve read Hooked and I’m working on Habit and it seems to me like this is just warmed over ideas from behavior modification. The key idea in these books is that our daily behavior (i.e., habits) have been created (shaped) by external cues, which lead to routines, which result in rewards. Here and there these authors throw in a little neuroscience and a sprinkling of ideas from cognitive psych, but the core ideas are just things we’e known for years from the work of behaviorists. If you’re not familiar with Habits, here’s the author of the book on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1eYrhGeffc <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1eYrhGeffc> Anyone else think that this is really just behavior mod “re-packaged”?
