47 分钟Hello, and welcome back to advice session, a series here on anything goes, where you send in your current dilemmas or anything that you want advice on, and I give you my unprofessional advice.
And today's topic is breaking bad habits, which I feel particularly primed to discuss because I just recently finished listening to the audiobook of atomic habits, a very popular book about making good habits and breaking bad ones.
There's a chance that you actually read or listened to this book because it was very popular a few years ago.
I feel like it's not as strong in the zeitgeist anymore, but it was all the rage for a minute there.
Everyone was reading atomic habits.
It was changing everyone's lives.
It was a movement.
But I recently listened to that book, which is sort of true to my behavior, because I always wait until something is no longer hot in the zeitgeist, and then that's when I consume it.
Like, if there's a really popular tv show, I never watch it while it's hot.
I usually almost always wait until it's completely irrelevant and no one's talking about it anymore.
And then I watch it.
I don't know why I'm like that, but I am.
Anyway, that's how I was with atomic habits.
So I just now finally listened to the audiobook, and it was a good book.
It was really good.
There was some really good stuff in there, so I really recommend it.
I'll give you an example of something that really stuck with me.
There was a story about, like, a british biking team that constantly lost.
Like they were not the most competitive in their field.
They were kind of known for losing, if I'm remembering correctly.
