This was an interesting read, with quite a few personal anecdotes mixed in with some useful ideas. The author makes a compelling case that intensity transforms whilst consistency only maintains, which clashes with more conventional advice about just staying consistent and going slow and steady with a habit/activity. My critique would be that a lot of the options the author has at their disposal would not be available to the majority of readers, and the claims are mostly anecdotal rather than evidence-based. Nonetheless I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to those who have already read some more conventional habit-building books.
