Atomic Habits

As with all self-help books, this has a lot of padding. At least from my point of view, I could do without the illustrative anecdotes and get down to the nitty gritty like cue, craving, response, and reward; habit stacking; (1) make it obvious, (2) make it attractive, (3) make it easy, and (4) make it satisfying, etc.

Still, those specific tips on installing the habits you want are really helpful. This is information that'll go into my everyday life to help me take concrete action to progress toward my goals.

One final complaint - though I think this is well worth reading (and is perfect book to buy at Blinkist, where you get a summary of key points), it is absolutely soaking in fat shame and diet culture. Not all, but MANY of the examples use weight loss, calorie counting, and demonizing certain foods as fodder. It would be nice if authors could wake up that these attitudes are really dangerous for a lot of people, and there are so many other examples that could be used!
