Yeah! That's in Charles Duhigg's Power of Habit. I don't know if it's apocryphal exactly (I genuinely don't), just dubious in the way that all stories about how a single key social-scientific trick—in this case "keystone" habits—explains a complex situation.
But if true, then definitely an example of an off-policy approach!
Thank you! Love you work.
I am reminded of the apocryphal tale of an Alcan CEO who made the firm more profitable by focusing on worker safety than on output.
