When David Cowen, of The Cowen Group, sent me both the hard copy and audio editions of The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business, by Charles Duhigg – I figured it was going to be another one of those touchy-feely “let’s get you organized” guides that land in airport bookstores, churned out by authors with dubious resumes.
I should have known better. Cowen, whose New York City-based headhunter and research consultancy focuses on e-discovery and compliance, wouldn’t waste his time with keynote wannabes. Then I saw the bio for the author, and the imprint, Random House, and figured I was in for a good ride. Duhigg is an investigative reporter for The New York Times, and he has won a basket full of important awards, including the George Polk, and as part of a team that was a finalist for a 2009 Pulitizer Prize. That piqued my interest, and put the book on the top of my tall pile of “to reads.”
