OVER 60 WEEKS ON THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER LIST
With a new Afterword by the author
In The Power of Habit, Pulitzer Prize–winning business reporter Charles Duhigg takes us to the thrilling edge of scientific discoveries that explain why habits exist and how they can be changed. Distilling vast amounts of information into engrossing narratives that take us from the boardrooms of Procter & Gamble to sidelines of the NFL to the front lines of the civil rights movement, Duhigg presents a whole new understanding of human nature and its potential. At its core, The Power of Habit contains an exhilarating argument: The key to exercising regularly, losing weight, being more productive, and achieving success is understanding how habits work. As Duhigg shows, by harnessing this new science, we can transform our businesses, our communities, and our lives.

آلت نزاعات نجد وصعوبات حياتها إلى خروج أهل القسم وأهل شمّر ونزوحهم شمالاً، حيث أقاموا عند بوابة العراق الجنوبية وعُرفوا بـ «العقيلات».
يرصد هذا الكتاب أهمية الدور الذي اضطلع به النجديون المهاجرون في الاقتصاد والتجارة كما في السياسة والحرب. فقد غيّر إنشاء قناة السويس نمط حياتهم إذ حوّل طرق التجارة عن الخليج إلى البحر الأحمر، كما شارك العقيلات في الحرب ضد بونابرت وفي الثورة الهاشمية، ومن بعدها معركة ميسلون.
من اللازم علينا حماية أسرنا ورعايتها، وهي في الوقت نفسه مهمة تملؤها البهجة والسرور. وهذا ما ينطبق على إنشاء هذا الكتاب الذي كان بمثابة مشروعٍ شاق، لكنه أمدني بسعادة كبيرة. كتاب “الأسرة أولًا” يُعد واحدًا من تلك المشاريع الحياتية التي يبذل الكثير من الأشخاص الجهد في إنجازها، في حين يحصل شخص واحد على الفائدة. كان لي الشرف الكبير في العمل مع “أسرة” رائعة تحوي أشخاصًا متفانين لا يعرفون للتعب سبيلا والذين ساعدوني في مواجهة تحدي إنجاز كتاب الأسرة أولًا
Harvard professor Robert Langdon receives an urgent late-night phone call while on business in Paris: the elderly curator of the Louvre has been brutally murdered inside the museum. Alongside the body, police have found a series of baffling codes. As Langdon and a gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, begin to sort through the bizarre riddles, they are stunned to find a trail that leads to the works of Leonardo Da Vinci – and suggests the answer to a mystery that stretches deep into the vault of history. Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine code and quickly assemble the pieces of the puzzle, a stunning historical truth will be lost forever…
