Gretchen Rubin's 'Better Than Before': Unlock Habit Success with Your Tendency
Gretchen Rubin, author of 'Better Than Before', emphasizes the significance of understanding one's 'Tendency' for successful habit change. This concept, central to her book, revolves around how individuals respond to both external and internal expectations.
In 'Better Than Before', Rubin introduces the Four Tendencies: Upholders, Questioners, Obligers, and Rebels. Upholders readily meet both outer and inner expectations, while Questioners question all expectations before complying. Obligers respond well to outer expectations but struggle with inner ones, and Rebels resist all expectations.
Rubin believes understanding one's Tendency is key to creating habits that stick. She suggests that knowing how one responds to expectations can help tailor strategies for habit change, making the process more effective and sustainable.
Gretchen Rubin's 'Better Than Before' provides a unique perspective on habit formation through the lens of the Four Tendencies. By understanding one's Tendency, individuals can better navigate the habit change process, making it more likely to succeed.
