[Quote No.45616] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires - desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence." - Bertrand Russell

"Think of the bad habit you want to change like a river that's been following the same course for a long time. Now you want to stop it suddenly. You can't just dam the river because the water will rise up and break through. Instead, you have to encourage the river to take a different course. In order to break the old habit, the attempt needs to be paired with making a new habit. [For example, substitute a lolly for a cigarette if giving up smoking, or an apple for a hamburger if dieting.]" - Jeremy Dean
