I really enjoyed this book. James Clear engages the reader with actionable plans and meaningful narrative to make forming habits less like your mom telling you to brush your teeth and more like you enjoying coffee in the morning because you want to.

The book builds on so many other fantastic books and research about how people think, how we engage, how we fight, and how we can use our underlying behavior to make it easier to do the things that we say we want to do.

I would have no qualms about recommending this book to anyone interested in science or power of habit. Graspable for high school and up. If you haven't read the other big titles - Atomic Habits has the references for you to dive in (if you want) and the summary and juicy bits from the perspective of this book (if you don't).

I forgot to review Atomic Habits when I read it a year ago, but it has stuck with me. I'll also say that I love the newsletter that James sends out each week - short and thought provoking.
