Oh sorry, I jumped the gun! I thought you were just quoting it to prove habits couldn't be changed in less than 21 days, my bad.
I'm not entirely sure of the source of the top of my head, I just remember it from lecture notes from psychology last semester, the experiment was a controversial one in which participants were to give up smoking cigarettes with or without external reminders, those whom had hourly text messages and alerts changed there behaviour in between the 66 and 84 day mark, those without reminders changed their behaviour within 75-100+ day timeframe. Those with external validation were the quickest respondents to forming new habits. However a similar experiment was done the same year that suggested much higher and lower variables something like 18-25 days.. Its cool but at the end of the day all research on habit forming is pointless for us because the goals of the subliminal, we are looking at more advanced personal influence and behavioural change
apologies for being snappy, just really have a personal dislike for people like the guy on that site, its all about making money on pseudoscience and public speaking. Which is very similar to cult formation
