Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones by James Clear
3.5
“Atomic Habits” by James Clear
3.5/5 ⭐️
I found this book inspiring about half of the time and the other half just seemed like a stereotypical couch on a reality show saying “just DO it!” Although, when the book essentially does say that it’s not aggressively.
What I liked: the ideas about identity and environmental change affecting how you operate in your “systems”
What I didn’t like: there was no nuance or mention of how habit changing/forming could be different for those with neurodivergent disorders. Sometimes “just DO it” isn’t an option when your brain, trauma, or something else literally prevents you from doing things.
Still took away some things so not a total loss! I can see the appeal just wish there was more practical strategies for a larger net of people to grab onto.
