Atomic Habits by James Clear

I finished reading "Atomic Habits". 25 million copies of this book have been sold, according to Clear's website. I found the book relatively interesting, well-written, and even motivational at times.

I grow weary of certain self-help books that seem to glorify the author. Most of the time I find self-help books to be inspirational at best, but I don't look to them to come away with a profound shift in my motivation.

There were some good nuggets in this book and a few interesting ideas. The book centres around "habits" but it delves deeper into other things like psychology, the brain, and tools for achieving success in life. I don't think James Clear has all the answers but it appears to be a decent stab at helping a vast number of people. Going by its popularity alone, I would say that it is a worthwhile read.

Much of it is common sense, but Clear writes in such a way as to make certain mainstream tactics for achieving success palatable and easily-digested. I give this book 3.5/5 stars.

(My rating system for books is pretty harsh, I only give 5 stars for a perfect masterpieces, and most of my ratings are around 3 or 4 for an exceptionally good book.)

Maybe one day I'll link my Goodreads account for a more specific view of the books I read or am reading, and my ratings of them.
