Smart Thinking and Habits of Leadership

ART MARKMAN, Ph.D., the author of Smart Thinking and Habits of Leadership

Habits allow you to carry out your daily routines without having to put in effort to guide your actions. Habits allow you to multitask: to talk and drive a car, to walk and  chew gum, to type and think at the same time. And although habits usually add great value to our daily lives, “bad” ones can be destructive.

Smart Change explores the psychological mechanisms that form and maintain habits in individuals and groups and offers real, accessible, and actionable advice for change. In this engaging narrative, Dr. Markman, whose previous book Smart Thinking showed us how the mind works to think and act smarter, covers a wide range of habits. As insightful as it is practical, Prof. Markman’s book explains how five effective tools can help us change our own unacceptable behaviors and influence the habits of others.

ART MARKMAN, Ph.D., the author of Smart Thinking and Habits of Leadership, is the Annabel Irion Worsham Centennial Professor of Psychology and Marketing at the University of Texas and founding director of the Human Dimensions of Organizations program there. He blogs regularly for Psychology Today, The Huffington Post, 99U, and Harvard Business Review Online.
