    Darkness is removed by light, not by conjuring shadows

    Habits are chains of repetitive acts, which get stronger with each repetition. The neural substrate of a behavioral habit is the strengthening of neural networks that are activated and consolidated with each repetition. You can't delete a many times repeated string, just by deciding to; in the same way that a strengthened and thickened neural network cannot be undone with a magical thinking ceremony. Furthermore, directly fighting a bad habit indirectly strengthens it because it recognizes and reactivates it. Habits are eliminated by creating and strengthening a repetitive chain and a neural network of action opposite to the previous habit. Darkness is removed by introducing light, not by frightening or conjuring shadows. Great book.
