Repetitive and not too well written, but valuable

Very well read, except somtimes a little over-accentuated for my taste. The concept of mini habits has really become very valuable to me. It still takes some effort and discipline, but after a few months I still feel it really works. I still have not found the perfect tracking app (Strides is ok), but that's a whole other story.
The biggest flaws of this book are its repetitiveness and lack of structure. It is literally exclusively the "one push-up challenge" and "writing 50 words a day" over and over again. Other examples are hardly mentioned. Funny enough: at some points you can still somehow feel how the author was forcing himself to squeeze out another few lines. But, of course, with an audiobook, repetitiveness could of course also be seen as a feature; it really forces you to remember things at least. One thing the author missed to repeat is the single most important habit to me: actually keeping track of your habits.
I definitely had the impression that not too much thought was put into the structure of the work. Chapters are dedicated to different aspects, but I had the feeling that similar ideas pop up a little randomly. Overall I was missing a red thread.
Edit: Recently I came across James Clear's "Atomic Habits", which provides a much more general and better structured account of strategies around habit formation, but does touch the (imho essential) miniaturization aspect only briefly.

Viele Wiederholungen

Sinnvolle Tricks zum Festigen von sog. Mini Habits. Die Regeln sind einfach und klar verständlich erklärt. Allerdings wiederholt sich der Autor oft. Trotzdem sehr hörenswert.

Perfect. I'm already developing my Mini-Habits.

Short and easy to listen to. definitely worth the money. Already starting to listen to it again.

good one

good, concise, well read. not full of long and derailing details. the author did a good job

would have been a good short blogpost

nice idea to find the smallest viable version of a habit, use willpower to power through implementing it in your live. 'read one page of a book everyday', force yourself to do this even if you are not motivated on that day. habit will form.

the other hours of this book just repeat and make friendly wordplays.

Top Buch!

Mich hat dieses Buch sehr inspiriert und daher kann ich es ruhigen Gewissens weiterempfehlen. Es hat die Macht Leben zu verändern. Klare Kaufempfehlung!
