Once again, I am not a non-fiction girlie but I do think this was more beneficial than the last non-fiction read

I finished this using the audiobook on Spotify and I think that may be the best way to consume non-fiction from now on. It was WAY better that way

This book was so good I actually read the appendix. A primer on what habits are, how they are formed, and why they matter. Our habits determine our quality of life. This book is a must-read.

If you're curious about why some habits stick while others don't. The book is genuinely helpful if you ACTUALLY apply its advice. Its pretty good, especially if you haven't encountered much discussion around these ideas before (Can't say the same if you have been though).

With that being said, don’t expect life changing revelations. The content is fairly typical of self help books, with a repetitive style that might feel familiar Honestly, I probably wouldn’t have picked it up if it weren’t for the surprisingly high prices I noticed at my local stores. (My spite strikes again)
I did enjoy was the author’s use of everyday examples like the grocery store stats so that was fun.

Overall, it’s a decent read for anyone new to the topic of habit formation, but if you’ve been in earshot of the productivity bros you might find it a bit PRETTYY repetitive.

Quite impressed. As with any self-help book, time will tell if it's really helpful or if was just a good read for me personally, so let's wait with the fifth star.

Atomic Habits has a lot of practical starting points to improve on your habits as the one sustainable way to reach your goals. However, it is the underlying theory that speaks to me the most. Human beings are not nearly as rational as we'd like to be and most of us are driven by emotions and continue doing the same things over and over because that's what we've always done. James Clear acknowledges this and gives pointers how to work with these fundamental qualities instead of battling them with willpower and life hacks.

Let's see if it is as implementable as it is explanatory!
