Some common sense, common grace wisdom for improving your
life habits.
Clear has been on the New York Times bestseller list for
months, and it’s easy to see why.
He makes self-improvement easy. Just do small things, little things, one thing,
at a time. Add a good habit to any routine
you already have. Even the chapters are
very short to make for easy reading.
Sometimes I think this is genius – other times it feels
totally gimmicky. Most of the book’s
techniques are disconnected from your desire and motivations. But he does address identity well – it’s more
fundamental than action. Define yourself
as a non-smoker effectively and you’ll stop smoking, without the hamster wheel
of trying to stop. I also liked the emphasis
on your system over goal-setting. Goal
setting is good to do now and then, but what you do every day, every hour is
what really has an effect on your life.
Not a necessary read, but helpful. 3 stars.
