Rick Warren Character Analysis

Rick Warren is the influential pastor and founder of Saddleback Church. Duhigg describes how Warren spread his message and built a congregation by appealing to people’s habits. For instance, he accommodated people’s existing habits by letting them wear whatever they wanted to church, and he helped them build effective new ones by having them meet in the same small groups every week for Bible study. Duhigg views Warren’s success as evidence of how collective habits can be the foundation for social movements and communities.
