Habits takes days or even years' of practice to develop. This is one such book. Though the concept is simple, it takes time to apply it again and again to master it. There are many good books in the subject, this book won't classify itself extra ordinary but fairly concise and to the point. It talks of very few effective methodologies one can apply.

1. Not to vocalize
2. Not to regress
