inspiring but heavy focus on looks when it comes to fitness

You can get the full thing from any pictograph or YT video. Sort of repetitive, but it’s a good place to start if you’re lost about improving habits.
One con is how often Clear uses dieting, losing weight and diet culture as examples of “improvements”. There could be other options to have more variation than just setting the same thing as a “bad thing you need to better”

Really insightful and broken down into manageable pieces of advice and ideas. Some examples are problematic in terms of focusing a lot on body image and losing weight. 

It was okay. Some of the tips felt sustainable for behavioral changes but some of the tips could result in negative, unintended outcomes  such as (TW)

EDs I say this from a social work background with formal educationon EDs. The examples given throughout the book can be triggering. In addition, some of the techniques provided including shaming yourself and having others shame you for accountability which is a toxic not only for yourself but also others

. 

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.

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.
