Language of the book is simple and easy to understand. All the insights related to psychology and neuroscience too are very easy to grasp and explain.

My View

It is an excellent book for anyone who wants to get rid of unhealthy habits and start good ones. I have read another book on habits called “The Power of Habits”  which I loved personally.

But Atomic habits is even better as it reveals easy and simple tricks that don’t even need willpower to apply in our routine. This will make good habits easy to adapt and bad ones out of our reach leading to an increased quality of life!
