I received an advance reader's edition from Read it Forward.

I'm not a regular reader of self-help books, and this is also the first book of Gretchen Rubin's that I've read, but this book provided some great insight into how I form my own habits. I loved how everything was broken down into categories and titles (I'm a Questioner!) and the author's anecdotes, both personal and from other people, made it a fun read while I was thinking about how to incorporate this advice into my own life.

Some parts felt a little heavy-handed (I respect the author's decision about switching to a low-carb diet, but I don't think it needed to be reiterated so much), and I feel that footnotes may have worked better than referring to "studies" from the Notes section at the end of the book, but overall I'm already seeing some changes in how I view my own habits. I'm noticing when I'm making excuses or when I'm convincing myself that certain parts of my life are out of my control when they really are. I've made some small changes, and I'm already pleased with my increase in productivity and my mood. I'll definitely keep referring to the book in the future.
