Except for the penultimate chapter where a partner is required to do aikido shit, the book is an absolute gem full of actionable, practical, and useful advice.
I will highly recommend it.
I do not like self-help books generally, but this was a wild exception. I am glad that I picked this book up.
I am already applying advice learned from this book in my life, and they are already proving to be useful.
Give it a try.
What's better with this book, and why this book deserves a 5 star is that this book did not walk the path of other self-help books where a simple blogpost or two is shamelessly inflated to be a 300-page book, and wasting everyone's time. This book is very short and concise. You will be able to finish it in no time and be able to apply lessons learned to your life and …

Review of 'Atomic Habits' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Full of useful examples, lessons, and very pragmatic and practical. I am very glad that I picked it up.
One star is missing, because, just like many self help books, this suffers from the vice of unnecessary elongation.
This book could have had 30 pages less and be equally effective.
One full star removed for 30/40 pages? Not quite. The style of this book also matters. Whenever। a new concept is introduced, the author starts a story. This was true for all of the concepts. This was a little tiring to read.
If you ignore the stuff sbout god, and divinity and so on, you can learn a quite a few useful things from this book. I would recommend it, if you can overlook the references to god and divinity.
What do flashlights, the British invasion, black cats, and seesaws have to do with computers? …

This is an overall fantastic book. I will start recommending this book to others now. It is that good.
He tries to explain all the levels of a computer, and he does so efficiently and beautifully.
The only problem that I have with this book is the chapter "Two Classic Microprocessors". There wasn't much to learn. Only huge walls of text was shoved down the throat of the readers. It was unnecessarily long and descriptive in an annoying way. What was the need? The author could have just talked about these and then moved on, but he elaborated on these, quoted and explained the literature that accompanied these processors. It was very boring. That's why I reduced a star.
This book answers so many questions that you might have as a user of computing devices. You get answers to many questions reading this. Such questions bug you for a long …

This book answers so many questions that you might have as a user of computing devices. You get answers to many questions reading this. Such questions bug you for a long time, but you are too reluctant to look them up.
You get clear knowledge of buses and registers, which are taught in colleges, but college education suffers from elementitis. The smaller components are never brought together for the students. This book does that job. This book describes and teaches all major and important components, and then put them together to build a whole, functioning computer. That is wonderful. This book should be read for this reason alone.
If you are interested in actually building a comluter from ground-up, check out Noam Nissan's Elements of Computing Systems. Here, you will be building a computer yourself, from scratch.
