The Psychology of Human Behavior : How People Decide, Persist, and Sabotage Themselves

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - You know what you want to do. Why does the doing keep breaking down The plan is sensible. The intention is real. Yet motivation fades, the difficult task is postponed, an old habit returns, or progress stops just before completion. These moments are often treated as evidence of laziness or weak character. But procrastination is frequently an attempt to escape discomfort now, even when the delay creates a larger cost later. Behavior follows patterns, and patterns can be understood.How People Decide, Persist, and Sabotage Themselves explores the machinery behind the gap between knowing and doing. Fendi Rusly explains how habits become automatic, why motivation changes over time, how emotion drives procrastination, and why self-defeating behavior can function as an old form of protection.Inside, you will explore: - How habit loops are built and why old behaviors return- Why motivation is unreliable and how action can come before feeling ready- Procrastination as short-term mood repair rather than simple laziness- Why getting started matters more than waiting to feel motivated- Willpower, decision fatigue, and the value of better defaults- Cognitive biases that quietly distort everyday choices- Why vague goals fail and what makes follow-through more likely- Fear of failure, fear of success, perfectionism, and the comfort zone- How identity reinforces repeated behavior- How lasting change is built through environment, repetition, recovery, and self-understandingEach chapter begins with a familiar situation, explains the psychology beneath it, and ends with reflection questions that connect the ideas to your own patterns.This is not another demand to try harder. It is a practical, compassionate explanation of how behavior works, paired with reflection prompts that help turn insight into a more useful next step. The aim is to stop treating yourself as the enemy and begin designing conditions that make change more sustainable.Book 4 in The Psychology of Human Behavior series. Artikel-Nr. 9798181813229
