Building on great research about habit formation, this clearly written, straightforward, actionable book helps one set the table for gradual, consistent improvement. I recommend it: it avoids all typical hype and fluff language typical of the genera.

I used think this book was overhyped especially during pandemic when everyone was locked in their houses but now I got the time to read the book and i’m still halfway but so far it’s inspiring and it challenged me to change my habits. I like how he mentioned something like acknowledging your old habits would motivate you to change them and become a better person

Good book for everyone, I enjoy to read the book. It helps me to stay focus, a lot of helpful information. Can not stop to read it until chapter 1. The author uses very simple wordings and samples so for me a non-native english reader can fully understand and relax by reading.
I started this year with really no idea of what I wanted to do or accomplish. I had a vague idea of what I wanted to really pursue but felt pressured to do it all in a certain way that I knew would be difficult to maintain and master. This book has been a delightful read in really setting up what I wanted truly and what I needed to do to achieve my goals. Here’s to a successful year and many more to come!

I thought due to its quick popularity it would be another self help book with sensational but impractical suggestions. However I was wrong. Lots of great examples, references to psychology and research. It is written to advise not in the abstract but in practicality. You can expect actionable steps and to have your beliefs about willpower flipped upon its head.

It is a helpful book, however my abhorrence of the word and ideas surrounding productivity had me arguing with it the whole time I read it. I will read it again sometimes i just need time with ideas to settle them into a way I can incorporate them into my life.
I feel like I should explain my dislike of the word productive. As a Virgo I am naturally a person who likes to get stuff done, I have a master list that i try to get all my to does appointments ect onto and i like to mark them off, I forget less things this way. I have been known to forget to pay rent. So habits which i fall into naturally anyways, we all do. Are in place, are they the most useful ones? sometimes, could I create better ones? Yes! So in that productivity is a good thing. What i strain against is making my personality and self worth all based on my Productiveness. Another words I am me both good and bad even if i do absolutely the bare minimum one day and i am me if I get a LOT done. Now the author is not saying necessarily that your worth is based on what you can produce but that is such a corporate and societal thought process that it becomes ingrained in us. Look at the amount of YouTube videos surrounding the It Girl aesthetics, and well any media actually. It all plays in Into the you are good if you are useful and you are bad if you are not. I feel that needs to be changed to something else.
