See allI greatly enjoyed Salems Lot, once you push through the first 200 pages it does get more captivating. However, I don't like the theme of Vampires in a book and I was disappointed to have read 200 pages in to find out it's a vampire book.
Overall, well written and captivating book. I personally wouldn't re read it I will be sticking to the Dark Tower series from Stephen King.
I really enjoyed this book. The concepts are basic and to be honest they should be common sense for us all but being humans we can lack oversight on basic concepts sometimes that we need to be reminded of. Things such as, smiling more, being courteous, listening to people more, make people feel important. I also really liked the chapter in the end for improving your home life with tips for your own relationship at home. This is definitely worth a read.
I had stubbornly put off reading this book as it had been plastered in every book store I saw. However, I am so grateful that I gave in this year and read it. It has honestly been life changing for me, learning the psychology behind how habits are formed and entrenched in our lives is very insightful.
James then lays down a clear and concise framework on how to break our bad habits, and build good habits. He points out that we “ you do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems”. This perspective has encouraged me to focus on the processes and systems as opposed to simply having end goals.
I listened to this as an audiobook whilst running. During my time listening to this, I ran consistently everyday and pushed my self further and further. David Goggins has always been an extraordinary motivational speaker that can speak to your soul and lift you up in a way that few other speakers can.
Overall, a very motivational and well read audiobook.
