Atomic Habits by James Clear It's got some helpful advice but it reads like a Ted Talk. It's like (axiom)(anecdote)(academic research)(broad over simplification or sweeping generalization)(summary conclusion).

There's good advice and I'm sure if you follow it you may get results, but I wish it were more academically rigorous.

Recommend the the podcast "if books could kill", if you like these kinds of books. They aren't too hard in atomic habits, but they've really got me to think a little harder about the things I read
