It isn‘t that this was bad. It just wasn‘t that exciting either. Most of the book felt deterministic in a way, even though Wood spent time telling that habits do not decide everything in your life, and they are possible to change. I had hoped for something more, which I didn‘t get. 🤷‍♀️

Day 12 - #GoodHabit #SelfImprovementSept

Good Habits, Bad Habits is a practical book that will change the way you think about almost every aspect of your life. By explaining how our brains are wired to respond to rewards, receive cues from our surroundings, and shut down when faced with too much friction, Wood skillfully dissects habit formation, demonstrating how we can take advantage of this knowledge to form better habits.

Good Habits, Bad Habits is a good overview of the current thinking and science of using habits to improve your life. I would recommend as a primer to anyone new to these ideas. However, as someone who reads a fair amount of self-help, there was nothing new to the information or presentation of these ideas here. #netgalley

jillrhudy Is there anything new under the sun where self-help is concerned? 😉 6y
