DID NOT FINISH

Before I dive into it, let's talk about the unexpected twist it led me to – the realization that my life got significantly better when I stopped reading self-help books.

James Clear's "Atomic Habits" is undeniably a well-crafted guide to building good habits and breaking bad ones. It's filled with practical advice, compelling research, and engaging anecdotes. But here's the kicker – while reading it, I had an epiphany. I was so busy consuming advice on how to live my life that I wasn't actually living it.

This book, in its well-intentioned wisdom, became the catalyst for me to put down the self-help manuals and start practicing what they preach. It's ironic, really. "Atomic Habits" was both the peak and the end of my self-help journey.

I give it a solid rating for its content, but the real life-changer was the realization that dawned upon me while reading it. Sometimes, the best way to improve your life is to step out of the constant loop of seeking guidance and start taking action. So, thank you, "Atomic Habits," for being my last self-help read and the start of my actual self-help journey.
