Quick and easy to read, but nothing new or ground breaking. It was more overview of all the other books about creating good habits I've ever read. Plenty of good, up-to-date suggestions for apps and equipment for change.

Great tips to stay on track

This book was a fast read and gave me some insight into a person's behavior and tools I can try to be more successful in sticking to developing better habits.

If you're a fan of self-improvement, this is the book for you!

Crammed full of useful information, there's something in here for everyone. With lots of links to recommended resources, and plenty of things to research, this is sure to be a great help.

Having read The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg this book appears slight in comparison.

However the 3/5 should still be seen as above average. It's a decent book, it's a quick read and does contain several useful snippets of information.

There's nothing new here if you've read other books of it's ilk, but a very good plus for this book is that every short chapter concludes with some action points for one to use immediately.

I feel like this could have been an article.

[Victoria · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book defines habits and lists how to create good habits while recognizing bad habits and how to fix them. Most of this information is common knowledge but is often forgotten or overlooked. Also to better demonstrate habits and willpower the author listed a few true stories of peoples successes.

Boost will do just that

Of course this short Ebook can't give you the boost you need. That's up to you but it will boost your chances of improvement and knowledge on how to be more successful. Quick, clear and concise with useful ways to incorporate technology. Enjoy the summary and call to actions at the end of each chapter. Well organized and thought out.

[Diana-Michaela Shaffner · Rating 3 out of 5]

If you like taking advantage of technology in order to boost your productivity, you will find some interesting app suggestions in this book. The shared information on the topic of productivity do not offer any new insights and the stories get quite lengthy at times. However, it is worth checking out the apps and incorporating some of them into your daily routines to get a Boost.

Good habit forming info

I chose a three out of five rating because I felt like the author beat around the bush a lot. It took too long to get to the point. But once there the info was informative.

[Mifrah · Rating 4 out of 5]

Concise and straight to the point. The book is filled with many actionable insights, ideas and stories that encourage you to take action. It has inspired me with a few unconventional ideas to help make some improvements in my life.

[Héctor Iván Patricio Moreno · Rating 4 out of 5]

Short and Sharp

This book synthesizes several smart principles on habit change and personal improvement. The last chapter gives advice I haven't read in any other resource, and it teaches based on scientific studies. Recommended lecture if you have little time.

[Abdulrahman · Rating 3 out of 5]

Quick and extreamly small inspirational book that have good advices. You will feel that he is taking small bits from other famous books (which iss great thing!) and compaine that with many phone apps recommendations that help you in something specific.

[Beth · Rating 4 out of 5]

An interesting book about how to change habits, what it takes to keep the new habits and what technology (apps) can help. There are apps that look interesting and apps that I wouldn't use in a million years.

The author also has a free e-pamphlet that lists almost 200 apps.

[Donna Sako · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good ideas

I got some good ideas on habits and how choose what habits are best for you. No habits fit everyone the same. Your choice of which habits will get you to your goals may be different from others.

[Nancie Lafferty · Rating 4 out of 5]

Personal improvement never ends

Excellent compilation of simple methods to create new habits. Various apps and interesting examples to help apply psychological principals for self-improvement. Well laid-out and useful.

[Aimee · Rating 3 out of 5]

I borrowed this through Kindle Unlimited- I wouldn't pay money for it but it's a good summary/intro to theories around habit formation.

[Tara · Rating 4 out of 5]

I expected something more than what it was.

[Lonnie · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was an interesting short book with a few new tips and trick but also some I've already come across. The research he presented was awesome!

[Achille Tolliver · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very insightful

I would call this a very refreshing read. Don't beat yourself up for being a slave to your technology - instead, put it to work for you!

[Justine Adelizzi · Rating 4 out of 5]

An interesting combination of research and stories, this book contains some great tips for building good habits.
