Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones by James Clear
informative
medium-paced
4.25
Overall I really enjoyed it. It's all stuff I knew anyway but it's nice to be reminded and I really appreciated the chapter on genes and focusing on what you're already good at, playing the game you can win and ignoring what other people and society thinks.
I knocked off 3/4 of a star for the simplifying of weight loss to eat less, exercise more. I realise many people will be wanting to cultivate habits to lose weight but in a book which even has a chapter on how genetics affect every trait we have and that we need to understand ourselves, I felt not challenging the idea that weight loss is that simple was disappointing.
