Status Updates From Better Than Before: Masteri...

“[Changing] a habit is much more challenging if [it] means altering or losing an aspect of ourselves. I regret the loss of even the most trivial identity-defining habits. For instance, for years I didn’t own a purse. I liked being ‘the kind of woman who doesn’t own a purse,’ and I delayed buying a purse, even though in many situations carrying a purse would have been far more convenient…” not a habit

“A fitness trainer told me, ‘Men tend to come in because they want to improve a skill, like their tennis game, or regain something they’ve lost, like being able to walk up stairs without puffing. Women want to look better. Everyone adds health justifications later.” 🙄

“In my home office, I do work such as responding to comments on my blog, posting to Twitter or LinkedIn, checking Facebook, or answering emails.” I find it kind of bizarre that (partly due to our culture) some of these are considered work?

Woooaahhh…this is rather interesting so far!

Pretty good so far! I like how much she uses research studies - helps drive the points home.

DNF. The four tendencies part was interesting and useful, but so much of the habits talk devolved into diet culture that I found it unreadable.

mumpung masih awal tahun dan saya sangat struggling untuk form so many good habits karena habis menaiki rollercoaster kehidupan yang tidak manusiawi, saya pikir membaca dan mempraktikan apa-apa yang disampaikan Gretchen Rubin dalam buku ini adalah sebuah langkah baik menuju hari esok yang lebih terang. walau baru baca bab pertama, tapi saya sudah bisa menerawang bahwa saya akan merampungkan buku ini secepatnya.

Stop talking about yourself and give useful tips and advice!!

I think I might be a Questioner and not Rebel. There are so many things that resonate with me in the pages.

I’m really trying to like this book, but it’s hard to when the author constantly talks about herself.

Interesting to follow the conversations with her sister that keeps developing throughout the different strategies.

So far, the book has given me small amounts of helpful information on habit forming. The author uses many uncommon words that make parts of this book difficult to read and understand

Still very good! I’m really binging this like never before. Maybe it’s the power of January but I feel confident and energized.

It’s great so far. Really understand more about myself and my rebel tendency. Already got things to focus on.

الكتاب بحد الآن يفوق التوقعات فيما يخص كتب بناء العادات

I really like how laid back and open minded this book is. It's not like a lot of self help books where the author is like "this worked for me so you MUST do it too."

Not my cup of tea. But can see the benefits for others.

Really good information thus far! Already seeing improvements!

Interesting. Would recommend.

The 'loopholes' chapter is actually pretty good. Obsessing over weight gain is still present tho.

It's getting harder and harder to read. I'm sorry, Ms. Rubin, but I just realized that I'm a much worse listener that I thought I was. Would you.... chill and drink your beverage first to cool down your throat? Or vocal cord? Perhaps...? Hehe 😶

Jesus, the author of this book is a world-class meddler.

Information is helpful, but important to note the CW for fatphobia.
