anafuentes's review against another edition
had some good tidbits and was enjoying it for a while but then i got tired of reading about being productive instead of fun fiction. may pick it up later though as i only rented this for a few days from my library. also was a bit uncomfortable with the diet culture stuff when i’m trying to get past that mentality. i get it was examples but there was a bit of misinformation even within the examples.

This book gave amazing and simple advice. It is definitely going to make a change in my life and many others' as well. I especially loved the bit about changing the environment and approaching habits with a nonjudgmental attitude. I think these are great ideas and I'm very hopeful after reading this. I do have a couple nitpicky thoughts though:
You can tell the author is an athlete. There are lots of sports metaphors and references to losing weight. I was not a fan of how losing weight and restricting calories were always referred to as positive goals- it can be reductive and harmful to do this. While the simplicity of this book is a big strength, the world is not always so black and white.

Unable, at the moment, to get past Clear’s rather pernicious habit of falling back on on intentional weight loss, rather than a more inclusive interpretation of health, in his examples.

I picked this up because it's very popular on YouTube, and I think because of that, I heard all the main points before I read it. If you've read Charles Duhigg's work before, this is very similar, and even references his work.

Definitely mentions weight loss frequently as an example, and that might be harmful to some people.sarahaf712's review
Ableist, classist, fatphobic, takes credit for the mental labour AFAB people do constantly. Hated this.
