Many Christians have the habit of daily Bible reading.

The Bible is the best-selling book of all time.^[1]

Between 5 to 7 billion Bibles have been published.

A habit is a personal course of conduct that becomes difficult to change over time due its repetition and reliance as part of a daily or weekly routine.

A virtue is a good moral habit, while a vice is an evil or harmful one.

The room of the term habit is from the Latin habitus, meaing "having" or "condition" or "character".

Examples of influential habits in modern society include:

church attendance
Bible reading
daily prayer
exercise
addictions
daily reading of newspapers or other liberal sources of information

Percent of human behavior that is habitual

One paper published by a Duke University researcher in 2006 found that about 45 percent of the actions people performed each day weren’t the due to decision making, but were habits.^[2]^[3]

James Clear on good habit formation

Eating unhealthy food is a bad habit that can lead to obesity.

Obesity is positively associated with impulsiveness, lower self-discipline and neuroticism.^[4]

Missing one opportunity to perform the behaviour did not materially affect the habit formation process."
