Wendy Wood: Good Habits, Bad Habits (Paperback, PAN MACMILLAN U.K) 3 stars

Review of 'Good Habits, Bad Habits' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

The main reason I docked stars for this was a recurring theme of fatphobia, specifically Wood's lending credence to disproven medical myths around weight and its relationship to health, which is especially dangerous for someone regarded as a scientific expert to do. It's particularly unfortunate because, without those parts, this is a detailed and actionable book describing the current state of scientific knowledge around habit formation and habit breaking, written by one of the main leaders of that research.
