Why is it so stubborn? And why does willpower fail almost every single time? In this chapter, Mark and Drew get into Plato's chariot rider and two horses, the famous hospital checklist that saved 1,500 lives by doing almost nothing, and why putting your gym shoes by the door beats every morning routine ever invented. If change was as easy as more information, we'd all be billionaires with six-packs. It's not, and this is why.
