Fix Your Habits, Transform Your Life

This book completely shifts the way habits are viewed and built. Instead of pushing discipline, it breaks down why habits stick and how to create real, lasting change. With practical advice backed by science, it offers a clear roadmap for anyone feeling stuck or ready to grow. No fluff-just solid strategies that actually work in real life. I for a long time had struggled to improve my life, and i'll admit that I am still a novice at it. But this book has been a great resource for me and has really helped me become my better self. I've struggled with breaking bad habits before, but this book made the process feel doable instead of overwhelming. The strategies are easy to apply, focusing on small, achievable steps rather than drastic changes that never seem to stick. What I appreciated most was the no-nonsense approach-there's no fluff, just practical advice on rewiring your mindset, staying motivated, and creating lasting habits. Whether it's overcoming procrastination, eating healthier, or improving productivity, I found the tips really helpful. If you're looking for a realistic way to take control of your habits and transform your life, this book is definitely worth a read! If i had to summarize the major thesis of this book it would be, ""Sustainable change requires a strong internal ""why"" tied to personal values and identity, not fleeting rewards"". The book is about how to change your mindset to align with that. Length was reasonable, has enough meat on it to justify my time with it, but not so much to be overwhelming. One of the best self-help books I've ever read. The first big revelation for me was that you can't succeed at changing, making, or breaking habits until you've gone really deep to identify the real ""why"" you want to do so. You need to think less about doing something and more about being what you want to be. Because your habits illustrate who you are becoming, whether it's what you want to be or not. Another key idea for me was being compassionate about your failures/relapses, as you would speak to a friend who's had a setback. You wouldn't beat them up the way we often beat up ourselves, because you wouldn't be much of a friend, then, would you? And so we should treat ourselves the same. And there's lots more good information like that. Helped me finally understand why some habits never stick. The section on habit loops - cue, routine, reward - and how to form new ones - was really helpful. I liked how the book broke down change into small, achievable steps instead of overwhelming overhauls. I also liked the strategy of habit stacking; hopefully this will help me to make lasting changes.
