Gretchen Rubin's 'Tendencies' Key to Habit Change Success
Gretchen Rubin, author of 'Better Than Before', emphasizes the significance of understanding one's 'Tendency' in habit change. This concept, central to her book, refers to how individuals respond to expectations, both self-imposed and external.
Rubin identifies four Tendencies: Upholders, Questioners, Obligers, and Rebels. Upholders readily meet both inner and outer expectations. Questioners question all expectations and meet them only if they see a good reason. Obligers meet outer expectations but struggle with inner ones. Rebels resist all expectations, both inner and outer.
Understanding one's Tendency is crucial for successful habit change, as Rubin explains. It helps individuals tailor their strategies to their unique nature. For instance, Upholders might set clear goals, while Questioners may need to understand the 'why' behind their habits.
In 'Better Than Before', Gretchen Rubin underscores the importance of knowing one's Tendency for effective habit change. By understanding how we respond to expectations, we can better tailor our strategies and improve our chances of success.
