Better Than Before

Mastering the Habits of Our Everyday Lives
Apr 30, 2015ghreads rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
I have followed Gretchen Rubin’s blog for the last year or two so was quite familiar with many of the key concepts in this book. Even so, there was some interesting new material and it was useful to have it all in one place. For anyone not already familiar with these ideas, the book is definitely worth reading and could be life-changing. The emphasis on knowing yourself is hugely important – forming successful habits does not come in a one-size-fits-all package. Once you know yourself – your psychology and values – you can begin to adopt strategies that will have the greatest chance of success in forming useful habits or breaking harmful ones. The book is well organized, well written and easy to read.
