James Clear is not a poet – he’s an effective and to-the-point communicator who knows the literature around habit-formation. That makes him a perfect candidate to write the concise and accessible Atomic Habits. Each chapter has summaries at the end to help solidify his points. [...]
At University, I got used to my ideas being challenged - even despised. I figured people wouldn't like my views, and had no problem with it. I was pretty old-school, Christian, and relative to the student body, conservative-leaning in some ways. What did surprise me [...]
Slowly but surely I’ve been trekking through Jordan Peterson’s Beyond Order - his follow up to 2018's 12 Rules for Life - and slowly but surely I’ve been having my perspectives on life altered once again. He’s got another 12 rules, and like the first [...]
