8.5/10

Good Habits, Bad Habits

Wendy Wood · 2019

Written by a leading habit researcher, it rests on solid, peer-reviewed findings. A few numbers get simplified, and it offers fewer ready-made tools than its competitors.

6/10

Atomic Habits

James Clear · 2018

Practical advice built on solid habit science, wrapped in catchy but untested claims about identity and compounding. Useful, but less proven than the subtitle says.
