Superhuman by Habit

Great sense dense with actionable advice

This books finally combined all my lessons together: from knowing that will power is finite, to the 5-sec rule, to daily habits to finally the definition: a habit doesn't consume will power. This helped me tie everything together and I've been able to form stronger habits.

Je continue dans les livres permettant de développer des habitudes, et celui ci m'intéressait car il avait été évoqué par plusieurs autres auteurs. Force est de reconnaitre qu'il était plutôt bon, extrêmement direct dans son analyse et son aide à la mise en place d'habitudes, tout en restant extrêmement terre à terre et adapté à chacun. Plein d'astuces dans lesquelles on peut piocher facilement !

“It is far far worse to skip doing something than to just do a horrible job of it.”

Some original ideas & perspectives on habits in the first part of the book.

He spells out some principles and pitfalls of creating habits but doesn't speak much to the process of creating a habit.

The second half is specific habit suggestions & personally didn't get value from this, possibly because I already have most of them.

The book is ok. Do not give much detail of how to create the habit.
But some takeaways are ok. The author talks about the initial phase when you are trying to create the habit you need to do what he calls loading phase where you need to use all your willpower to stick to the habit.

Overal the book is ok.
