How does 'The Power of Habit' use real-world examples, like Target's customer habits, to illustrate its concepts?

'The Power of Habit' uses real-world examples to illustrate its concepts by showing how habits impact our daily lives and businesses. For instance, it uses the example of Target's customer habits. When a customer buys diapers weekly, Target knows that the customer probably has young children. If that same customer doesn't buy formula, then the data will determine that the customer doesn't use formula or they are buying it somewhere else. Target takes the information about one habit, buying diapers, and tries to create a new habit, buying formula. This example illustrates how understanding and influencing habits can be a powerful tool for businesses.
