Atomic Habits

By: James Clear

7/10

I’m glad I took the time to finally read this book, however, I’m not sure I gained as much from it as I’d hoped.

I’d like to think that this is mostly credit to my mom who is a master habit stacker and atomic habit builder. Since this is all I’ve known and seen it became my default as well. For example the book breaks down how to build solid, sustainable healthy habits and in contrast how to break unhelpful “bad” habits. The steps Clear breaks down to master both of those things were tools I believe to already be in my tool box.

Trust me, I know I can certainly always use a reminder on my habits! And, I love the walk through step by step for this, but I think I expected to find more from this book.

Nonetheless, I think for anyone looking to build atomic habits from scratch, and needs some bottom-up help this is where you should start.
