The Power of Habit review

  • by

You know, I DNF fiction books all the time when I start to dislike them, but somehow I keep finishing these non-fiction books even when I’m not enjoying the experience. I don’t even like most non-fiction, why do I do this to myself?

In my ongoing quest for self improvement, I thought this might be an interesting take and look at building better habits. I had heard positive things. But this was honestly about half a chapter of information and a series of anecdotes taken at face value, debunked studies taken at just the right angle, and other stories that were twisted to be about habits rather than looking at alternate explanations, causes, or that to do with habits at all. Also a lot of how companies use habits to exploit people as if it’s a good thing, which is not something that will sit well with me.

So I can’t really recommend it. But I’ll give you the link to it anyway.
