a nice short book that explains the science behind habits and illustrates it well with example stories!
the mention of the atomic habits website got a bit annoying but most of the time it was necessary since i was listening to an audiobook and they wanted to show illustrating graphs.
trigger warning! the very beginning of the book describes in detail the author’s traumatic injury and if you’re sensitive to talk of injury or blood it is very much fine to skip it. i had to pause it multiple times in order to get through but it really doesn’t add much value to the book and i wish i’d skipped it.

Some insightful advice -- though I think I need to read and take notes, not just listen, for it to sink in. A bit too uncritical of diet culture and healthy goal setting.

lexa's review against another edition
I could not get past the fact that so many of the examples for habits or motivations were entrenched in diet culture. Being proud of your big biceps motivates you to never miss an upper body work out. Asking by yourself would a healthy person order a burrito or salad. And so on.
In addition, the 1 hour I listened to seemed to just ramble on not really stating anything other than what common sense could tell you.
