About Charles Duhigg
My name is Charles Duhigg, and I'm a reporter for The New York Times. I'm also the author of The Power of Habit, about the science of habit formation, as well as Smarter Faster Better: The Secrets of Productivity in Life and Business (which is available for sale on Amazon on March 8, 2016!)
I've worked at the Times since 2006. In 2013, I was part of a team that won the Pulitzer Prize for a series about Apple named "The iEconomy". Before that, I contributed to NYT series about the 2008 financial crisis, how companies take advantage of the elderly and national violations of the Safe Drinking Water Act. (For those series, I won the National Journalism Award, the Investigative Reporters and Editors' Medal, the National Academies' reporting award and other recognitions.)
But let's be honest, you aren't visiting this page so I can brag about series and awards. (Unless you're my mom. Hi mom!)
I'm also a native of New Mexico. I studied history at Yale and received an MBA from Harvard Business School. I now live in Brooklyn with my wife and two children and, before becoming a journalist, was a bike messenger in San Francisco for one terrifying day.
I would love to hear from you. I'm at charles@charlesduhigg.com.

Thank you to everyone who has been so helpful over the past two years. It’s enormously kind of you. To a great 2014, and beyond!

Blog postIt’s 2014! Congratulations on making it through another year! If you’re anything like me, New Years is also a great time to take stock and determine how you want to completely transform every aspect of your life. (Or, at least, figure out how to exercise every day. Or, you know, once a month.) Luckily, we’ve…Read More

Blog postOne of the nicest things about writing a series like the iEconomy is that it provides an opportunity to reflect on the mission of journalism. I was fortunate to attend the RFK Journalism Awards this week and get exposed to really fantastic investigative work occurring at a variety of news organizations. (This segment, from the sadly passed Rock Center, is a great example of what television reporting can accomplish.)

Blog postHi! If you happen to be a VWC student, then let me say: welcome to college! You are about to have a great time!
(If you’re not a student, a quick note of explanation: VWC is using The Power of Habit as part of their First Year Experience, and so every student will read the book.)
In any event, if you are a student and have any questions, I would love to hear from you (just email me at charles@charlesduhigg.com). There’s a video for you here.

Blog postThis blog has become, unfortunately, a bit of a cesspool of bragging. That’s gonna change! I promise!
But, in the meantime, I’m receiving a Pulitzer Prize next week, which is nice. So, I thought I would mention it. (The prize is for the iEconomy series, which appeared in the New York Times, and was co-authored by 9 other reporters, all of whom are amazing.)
Many non-self-infatuated posts to come. I promise.

Blog postThank you. The Power of Habit, as of this writing, has been on the NYT bestseller list for 37 weeks, which is – to be totally honest – kind of surreal. And, it’s been translated into 31 other languages. I did not know that there were 31 other languages. All of that is true because…Read More

Blog postI became a journalist, in part, because of the radio program This American Life.
So, it’s an enormous treat for me that this weekend, they are airing a show that is built, in part, around a chapter from my book. If you like (a) This American Life, (b) stories about gambling, (c) stories about people loosing almost $1 million dollars, (d) stories about people suing casinos, (e) The Power of Habit, then might I suggest you check your local listings and tune in?
