A great book to help understand the psychology of habits. This book outlines a clear way to assist people with building a life they want, while recognizing how much work it will be. All of this by creating a great foundation by habits, therefore setting you up for success.
I also loved how he broke down his 4 main points for habits. This made it much easier to understand and apply to everyday situations.
This book, in my opinion, is necessary for most people that will be working in knowledge work.
Files and information on a computer are such a critical part of today's work, that having a system to deal with the massive amount we accumulate is necessary. I learned multiple helpful mindsets and tools that I can use to produce a better product in what I deliver to others.
This book was just O.K.
I think that there are some good tidbits within here that can help people to clean and organize in a new way. However, with that said, this book goes out of its way to be “accessible”. I understand that this is in line with the premise of a “gentle approach”, it makes it hard to stay interested in the book, especially as an audiobook.
I also think this book is laid out somewhat weirdly. I feel like the 1st part could have been the entire book, because there's a point in which she just goes back more in depth into the specific rooms she has. While this can be useful, a lot of those later chapters include fluff that was already covered in the first part of the book, where she talks over cleaning as a whole. This was why it took me a while to read this book, it was hard for me to turn on just to listen to the same thing again and again as I got closer to the end.
If you're struggling with cleaning because you get overwhelmed, I think this book is great. But I am unsure if you need to read the entire book to get what you need to out of it.
Amazing book, filled with bits of wisdom as to how to approach this topic.
Being a Christian in 2023 (especially a younger one) comes with a lot of issues, that others (even other Christians' like the older generation) haven't needed to consider as much. Going through High School and College, and even post-college, I've met a lot of people that are within the LGBT community. The question is, how am I supposed to deal with that? You can't look to the older generation of Christians, as it's hard for them to wrap their heads around the “why” in it that they just blanked the statement of “don't do it”, the Bible can be confusing to read, and yet you still don't think the mainstream culture has it right.
This book is amazing if you identified with my earlier paragraph. Caleb Kaltenbach goes through and clearly lays out both the logic within the Bible, and yet how to still have a relationship with individuals who identify as LGBT. It's an important skill to learn, and Caleb does a great job conveying the nuance of the topic.
Also will note that I read this with my bible study, and it was received well, so it's a great book to go through in a group as well.
