"I'm 25 this year and it feels like I'm behind in a lot of things in life. People are saying this book is helpful for those who want to build up good habits so here I am. I'm only a few pages in and I'm already beyond impressed. James Clear really knows his thing." — Jan 07, 2023 09:51PM

“Young people were braver and often more perceptive than the adults. And they weren’t shy about guts and gore. They wondered about their dead parakeet’s everlasting soul, but really they wanted to know how fast the parakeet was putrefying in the shoebox under the maple tree.”

“There is an abiding beauty which may be appreciated by those who will see things as they are and who will ask for no reward except to see.”
