Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones by James Clear

rosie_b's review against another edition
Don’t think I’m the intended audience as someone with ADHD who’s read a lot about forming habits. Didn’t like constant examples of dieting & can imagine it would be triggering for some. There are definitely common examples the author could have used instead.

I liked the easily explained and applicable techniques that he suggested. Overall a good, helpful book with many great perspectives and examples making it easy to understand and follow. However, i didn't love the constant weight loss, diet and "health" references, since those were habits he advocated for but I myself was trying to let go off. I think it would be good with some more nuance on that particular subject (wouldn't have bothered me if he hadn't mentioned it so very often) and would not recommend to someone who finds diet culture triggering, even though that wasn't the intentention of the book.

can be triggering for someone with history of disordered eating, a lot of diet and weight loss references (not the main focus of the book but often used as an example).jessicayoungart's review against another edition

This book is totally worth the read if you are looking to view your behavior differently and even make some informed life changes! I am a clinical psychotherapist and I’m VERY careful on book recommendations to give clients for supplemental reading, as many self-help books are trash and even harmful. After reading it I feel comfortable encouraging others to read it. James Clear does a great job at making the material not just palatable, but memorable and succinct! There are a few mentions of dieting and weightloss that I found to be inaccurate or promoting a skewed perspective of eating and fitness habits when used in examples, but other than that it’s a good read based on the collection of empirically-backed data and research.
