Atomic Habits gives the illusion that changing habits is easy and will change your life - that's why the book probably sells. But it's BS like most marketing and stories.

Changing habits will change your life, but you need to learn the process and know yourself. You learn the best when you fail, but that's when people give up trying. The whole idea of habit formation is that it sucks to do something different and new... Until it's not new anymore.

The author certainly did the most biggest mistake: Too much, too fast. => Focus only on Meditation. Bingo!

One habit at the time, build the habit as slowly as possible. Everyone can do it. But they... Just don't.
