In the last chapter of Atomic Habits, we discuss how to review your habits, break beliefs that hold you back and break down the 'secret to long-lasting results'. As habits become automatic you can become less sensitive to feedback and can fall into mindless repetition and stop thinking about how to do better. Habits can lock us into rigid patterns of thinking and acting. We discuss this and more in this video. Thank you to James Clear for creating this book and thank you to all of you for supporting me in creating these. This is the 5th book I have summarised in full. You would be hard-pressed to find anyone as consistent, curious and tenacious as me.  If you would like to support me and the creation of these book summaries please consider supporting me on Patreon.

To maintain the sustainability of habits for most people they need to work on tasks that are just on the edge of their capabilities. The Goldilocks rule states that humans experience peak motivation when working on tasks that on right on the edge of their current abilities. (Not too hard, not too easy - just right).

Atomic Habits Book Summary - Chapter 2: Habits Shape Your Identity. Most people build outcome based habits instead of identity based habits. The problem here is the direction of change. We should instead focus on who we want to become instead of what superficially wants. True habit change is identity change. 

The quality of our habits determines the quality of our lives. Do your habits support and build you, or diminish and slow you? Atomic Habits is one of the best books I've read on how to take supreme control over your life through the theory and practical application of how to change your behaviour and psychology. Every chapter contains profound realisations packaged in practical takeaways that one can immediately deploy to improve their habits, self-awareness and ultimately, the quality of their life. I decided to analyse and summarise each chapter of this book to affirm my learnings and pass the wisdom of this book onto others. I hope it is as impactful to you, as it has been to me.

Is it riskier to get the COVID-19 vaccine or get COVID-19? This video aim's to objectively summarise the literature on the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine and how to interpret and critically evaluate the data to make an informed decision on the risk associated with receiving the vaccine versus not.   However, this video does not just analyse the empirical evidence. It considers how the evidence is applicable based on one's subjective risk profile and tolerance for risk.  I hope this analysis can provide clarity, objectivity and critical thought to help people make informed decisions around COVID-19.  This was originally posted on @strengthofsaad and also available on StrengthOfSaad YouTube.

“We all need to be aware of our personal calling. What is a personal calling? It is God’s blessing, it is the path that God chose for you here on Earth. Whenever we do something that fills us with enthusiasm, we are following our legend.” “However, we don’t all have the courage to confront our own dream. Why? There are four obstacles." In this video, I read and reflect upon these 4 obstacles and how I maneuver through them. This is one of my favourite books I've ever read, you can get it here: https://amzn.to/398M7dD

Many people called 2020 the 'worst year of their life' or the 'year from hell'. Consider how that perspective may be aiding in creating the conditions you say you don't want. Maybe we can use the fire of suffering to sharpen our sword so we can fight future battles with more courage and strength. "Within every adversity is an equal or greater benefit. Within every problem is an opportunity. Even in the knocks of life, we can find great gifts."

2020 was one of the best years of my life for the multitude of gifts it gave me in the form of these 30 profound lessons I learnt. Maybe we should all hop off the treadmill of life for a moment and force ourselves to pause and reflect on how the never-ending adversity of life gifts us with many silver linings...we just have to have our eyes open to see them.

This conversation with Abigail Shrier centres around the recent explosion in gender dysphoria rates in young girls and unpacks the suspected root causes. I did my best to discuss topics and ask questions she has not talked about before to uncover more of the nuance behind these tricky subjects.
