"Experience, contrary to popular belief, is mostly imagination."

- Ruth Benedict

In Better Than Before, my new book about habit change, I describe the "Strategy of Identity." I discovered that often when we struggle unsuccessfully to change an important habit, it's because we need to face an issue of identity. In the New York Times, in Farewell, My Lovely Cigarettes, Choire Sicha wrote about quitting smoking after thirty years -- and how it affected his identity. "Quitting smoking is the khakis of existence...I may as well be someone's stupid Brooklyn dad."
