But what if our relentless focus on optimisation is doing more harm than good?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe Habit Trap\u003c\/em\u003e, award-winning health and science journalist Markham Heid explores the hidden downsides of our habit-obsessed culture. Drawing on two decades of science reporting and a wide body of psychological and neuroscientific research, he reveals how even good habits can limit creativity, dull motivation, and trap us in unfulfilling cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHeid doesn’t call for chaos, but for flexibility—arguing that variety, spontaneity, and imperfection are not signs of failure, but essential ingredients for long-term growth and wellbeing. Part manifesto, part practical guide, \u003cem\u003eThe Habit Trap\u003c\/em\u003e invites readers to question the narratives they've been sold about structure and control—and find freedom in the unexpected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67973438570732,"sku":"9780008764364","price":38.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780008764364-the-habit-trap-1.jpg?v=1793161347","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/the-habit-trap-by-markham-heid-9780008764364","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
