Why we cite it
The library's primary reference on habit science from the leading academic researcher in the field. Provides the theoretical framework for why willpower-based approaches to eating change fail and why environment/context design succeeds — habits operate in a different brain system than conscious decisions, so changing the context (friction, convenience, cues) is more effective than relying on motivation. Referenced across 21+ companion pieces.
