"At some point, you will have to admit that your life was transformed by one small change. The holy grail of habit change is not a single 1 percent improvement. but a thousand of them."
Good book, Unveiling some of our unconscious habit-forming methods to our conscious minds so we can start creating new behavior that will stick.

I think some people will love this and there are some tidbits in there but this is just not for me. It’s very like woo control your Destiny habit stack which is a good thing but was way too fluffy for me. Maybe if I went into it with a better attitude I’d like it but I went into it a hater and that’s on me.

- many of the people he quoted I have read so nice to know he is well versed in this realm and I’m on the right track if I enjoy this stuff
- so many nuggets could almost flip back whenever you’re at a certain stage
- rlly wants to add so much value including resources to his website (genius too)

It’s not bad per se, it feels like it exists more for the author to have published a book than because the content necessitated a book.
I thought this was going to be a lot of "optimize your life" BS but it was actually really attainable advice that made me think about the things that I want to achieve and how I could go about doing it.
It may have been the audio book.
The concept of this book - self help regarding habit formation and breaking - is a good one. But it was just so repetitious.
Reminded me of the old PowerPoint presentation guide: Tell 'em what you're going to tell 'em. Tell 'em. Tell 'em what you told 'em. The same point would be made several times using different examples or metaphors or explanations, which I did not enjoy as it felt patronising.
A little more thought could have gone into abridging the audio book format, particularly by removing the extremely repetitive chapter summaries, which, as each chapter was very short, were unecessary. This would have made it a more pleasurable listen.
And aside from the format, the material was largely taken from other works in behavioural psychology. At least this was honestly done, with attribution where necessary. But I'm a psychology graduate, so little of it was new to me.
Alas. I thought this book would be far more helpful than it was. But I have made a habit of writing reviews now (without this book's help) so I'm making progress!
