CHARLES DUHIGG: New York Times Bestselling Author of The Power of Habit and Smarter Faster Better; Pulitzer Prize-Winning Columnist for The New York Times Magazine; Host of the How To! Podcast

CHARLES DUHIGG’s The Power of Habit spent three years on the New York Times Bestseller list. His latest bestselling book, Smarter Faster Better: The Secrets of Being Productive in Life and Business is a fascinating exploration of the science of productivity and why managing how you think—rather than what you think—can transform your life. As Duhigg highlights in his compelling presentations, one of the things we know about the science of habit formation is that habits become more flexible during moments of great upheaval. As we create the future of work together, it is the perfect time for new habits. Duhigg details how habit formation works, provides fascinating examples of research and case studies in which habits were used to successful and dramatic results, and provides a roadmap on how to use the upheaval we’re all living through to create great new habits of our own.

"Charles was very easy to work with, and his presentation was highly insightful and entertaining, and an excellent lead-off to our discussion of disruptive influences impacting our industry and markets in the future."
