Rated Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones 4/10

Woa, if life was only as easy as James Clear describes it! I found ‘Atomic Habits’ underwhelming. While the book has some interesting, actionable and useful advice, it suffers from oversimplification all over. Clear shares an anecdote here, cites a psychologist there… then freely associates to come up with conclusions that confirm what seem to be merely his intuitions. This, in addition to the constant bragging and the strong focus on Clear's own physical activity, made ‘Atomic Habits’ little helpful.
