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

2.75

I agreed with some of the central ideas of this book and thought a lot of the advice was helpful, but I also thought a lot of it veered to close to bio-hacking/“do this one easy thing and change your life.” You aren’t going to transform your life by choosing a gym that’s on your route home for work. I also did not like the constant inclusion of weight loss, calorie counting, dieting, etc. Many mentions of those topics were blatantly fatphobic or promoted disordered eating. I think “Laziness Does Not Exist” by Devon Price is a much better version of this kind of self-help book.
