Nail the Habit does exactly what it says it will do: it gives you a simple, five-step plan for finally making habits that stick. Kendall Royce has taken a scientific method and turned it into something that is clear, useful, and surprisingly down-to-earth. There is more to this book than just breaking down habits or talking about the basal ganglia. What makes it stand out is how it deals with real problems like procrastinating and perfectionism with humor and stories that people can relate to. You can be honest about what's stopping you with the help of tools like the Wheel of Life and High-Impact Habit Mapping. That it doesn't depend on effort alone is a plus. This book is a great place to start if you're new to the habit-building world. It's not too dense or too light, and experienced readers might not learn anything new from it, but it gives you the structure and attitude shift you need to go from being stuck to being steady. Plus, things that you can interact with, like mind maps, are nice. In the end, Nail the Habit is a good investment in your success if you're sick of starting over and want a method that you can follow without being boring. Read more
