If you liked that book, Power of Habits is the 10x better version.
It's less of a 20 year olds book of lifehacks and more of a science based approach.
Power of Habit book changed my life, quit all drugs and video games. Now I just read nonfiction books.
- criddell 5y agoWhy don't you like video games or fiction anymore?
- deregulateMed 5y agoWaste of time. At least comparatively speaking. Plus these get boring, I climb up the hedonic treadmill. Movies and video games get boring.
- criddell 5y agoI can understand somebody not enjoying video games, but movies is a tough one for me. Does the same go for plays? If so, is there any narrative media you enjoy?
- deregulateMed 5y ago"History is crazier than fiction" This year I read/listened to 30 nonfiction books in philosophy, History, and science. It's been extremely enjoyable and rewarding. My best advice is to put down bad books after 20 or 30 pages.
- criddell 5y agoPersonally, I think John Lennon was on to something when he said "time you enjoy wasting was not wasted". That said, I agree 100% about giving up on books early and often.
- floxy 5y agoOther books in a similar vein that I liked: _One Small Step Can Change Your Life: The Kaizen Way_ by Robert Maurer _Mini Habits: Smaller Habits, Bigger Results_ by Stephen Guise Both are short reads, and the Kaizen book is also in a nice small form factor that you can stick in your back pocket. These books emphasize the importance of making even the smallest change possible.

- sergiotapia 5y agoWhat author?
- deregulateMed 5y agoCharles Duhigg
- rchaud 5y agoI don't know about that. I have the book here in front of me (Charles Duhigg, The Power of Habit), and it seems like the whole thing can be summarized as: Cue - Routine - Reward With an additional 300 pages of weak, mostly theory-driven anecdotes about how corporations apply this at scale. I'd be really interested to know how you applied this to your personal life.
