Overview
This two-book paperback set pairs two of the most talked-about non-fiction titles of the last decade. Charles Duhigg's The Power of Habit unpacks the neuroscience behind everyday routines, while Steven Kotler's The Rise of Superman explores how elite athletes access flow states to achieve seemingly impossible feats. Together they offer a fascinating look at how habits and peak performance shape human potential, making this bundle a smart choice for readers of psychology, self-improvement, and sports science alike.
About the Books
In The Power of Habit, award-winning journalist Charles Duhigg investigates why habits exist and how they can be changed, drawing on decades of scientific research and compelling real-world case studies. He shows how the habits of individuals and organisations can be understood and reshaped once the underlying "habit loop" is revealed, offering a readable guide to breaking bad patterns and building better ones.
The Rise of Superman turns its lens on the extreme edges of human achievement. Steven Kotler examines the extraordinary rise in performance among action-sport athletes over the past three decades, asking how skiers, surfers, and climbers have pushed past limits once thought impossible. Drawing on biology, psychology, and cutting-edge flow research, Kotler builds a framework for understanding how ordinary people can access extraordinary states of focus and creativity. Read side by side, these two books complement each other perfectly: one explains the quiet mechanics of daily habit, the other the electrifying peaks of human potential.
