So, start small and build slowly when trying to establish a new habit that you want to make permanent. Sounds fair and easy enough. But, some of the examples did more than border on ridiculous… particularly, if you want to develop the habit of flossing your teeth then start with just one tooth, and after a few days add one more tooth, etc., until eventually you are flossing all your teeth. Seriously? This is ridiculous. If you want to develop the habit of flossing your teeth then just do it and get it done. Other habit-building projects may make sense to break down to starting small and building step-by-step but be reasonable and sensible. Some of the advice in this book is such a joke that it’s almost funny. But, it’s more sad than funny. Floss one tooth. Come on. Recommend people from the hills who only have one tooth read this book. If you have all your teeth, not sure you’ll get much out of it. I purchased one of Damon’s books and read it. Thought it was OK and decided, since the books were inexpensive, to go ahead and purchase the rest of his books since the titles sounded like the type of self-help advice I could use. If I have to read of Parkinson’s Law in one more book I’m going to pass out from exhaustion. Give it a rest and find some new material.
