Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones by James Clear
4.0
This book started on a 5 star track for me but I'm dinging it down to a rounded up 4.
The text in this book great overall, excellent. Great advice. However it does not take onto account outside factors such as mental illness/disabilities, physical illness/disabilities, etc. and actually felt a bit offensive with some of the language/phrases used towards the end of the book. You are not a loser or an amateur if you are struggling. This kind of undid a lot of the positive messaging throughout the entirety of the book.
However, that said, I do still tink this is a great book to read and take from it what works for you. There were many "Ah Ha!" moments for myself whilst reading. It is better to show up than not, as this book says, so if you cannot do something for a week that is ok! Show up when you can. Sometimes is ok. It is progress.
