The Girl Who Bites Her Nails and the Man Who Is Always Late: What Our Habits Reveal about Us

By Ann Gadd

This look at people's most common habits and their meanings argues that unconscious behavior is often the physical manifestation of an emotional state of mind. Habits that seem to ease tension in the short term--such as nailbiting, and cigarette smoking--may actually be detrimental to a person's health or relationships, and understanding the issues behind such familiar habits is the first step toward changing these behaviors. A catalog of 70 common habits includes relevant case studies and concrete ways that have worked to overcome each specific negative behavior pattern.

Insightful and well written

This was the first book I have read that explained the forming of habits. I found it insightful and well written. I thoroughly enjoyed the case histories. This book is going to set a lot of people free and help them to become whole. Ann Gadd has done a great task in recording and discussing habits and their debilitating power. She must be a remarkable soul to be so insightful.
