The Place Of Habit In Conduct

""The Place of Habit in Conduct"" is a thought-provoking book written by John Dewey, an American philosopher and educational reformer. In this book, Dewey explores the role that habits play in shaping human behavior and how they can be harnessed to achieve personal and societal goals. He argues that habits are not just automatic responses to stimuli but are also shaped by social norms and values. Moreover, he contends that habits can be consciously cultivated and modified, providing a powerful tool for personal growth and social change. Throughout the book, Dewey draws on examples from everyday life, psychology, and philosophy to illustrate his ideas and make them accessible to readers. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of psychology, philosophy, and social change, and it offers valuable insights into how habits shape our lives and how we can shape them in turn.THIS 82 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Human Nature and Conduct An Introduction to Social Psychology, by John Dewey.
