Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones by James Clear
challenging

3.5
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.
Moderate: Body shaming and Fatphobia
Minor: Eating disorder
can be triggering for someone with history of disordered eating, a lot of diet and weight loss references (not the main focus of the book but often used as an example).
