---------

The book was: Triggers by Marshall Goldsmith

It said:

• “If we do not create and control our environment,
  our environment creates and controls us”.
  
  
• “A trigger is any stimulus that reshapes our thoughts and actions”.
  
  
• “Most of us go through life unaware of
  how our environment shapes our behavior”.
  
  
• “Some environments are designed precisely to lure us
  into acting against our interest”.
  
  
• “To avoid undesirable behavior,
  avoid the environments where it is most likely to occur”.

So all that inspired:

• Changing my environment triggers
  
  
• Eliminate counterproductive triggers that I control
  
  
• Anticipate counterproductive triggers I can't control
  and prepare how to handle them
  
  
• Avoiding external environments that trigger unwanted behavior
  
  
• Load my environment with productive triggers including people
