Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones by James Clear

medium-paced

2.0

Fatphobic at best, logically flawed at worst. This could’ve been an email with all of the important information, but instead he pulls it out with constant fatphobic comments, references to addiction, repetition and references to pop science theories on human evolution like that of Jared Diamond. 
My biggest disappointment is that there is virtually nothing new except a catchy way to verbalize what we know about habit formation. Make it easy, put reminders around your space, set up a reward or combine new habits with existing habits. There you go, you don’t have to read it now.
