Books With Brett

In this podcast episode, I discuss ways to make habits that we want to begin easy and rewarding, which increases the likelihood that we successfully stick to them. These ideas are based on James Clear's book Atomic Habits and the ways he believes this makes habit formation easier. 

In this podcast, I continue my review and summary of the book Atomic Habits by James Clear, and talk about the tips and useful information this book provides. This episode covers the role the environment plays in our behavior, and how we can make a boring habit fun. 

In this episode, I discuss the beginning of the book Atomic Habits by James Clear. I mention how small changes are the key to big results in our lives, the role that identity plays in constructing your habits, and the underlying psychology behind habit formation. 

In this podcast, I continue to discuss Burmese Days by George Orwell, as well as some of the psychological factors behind the character's behavior and decision making. I also give my thoughts on the ending of the book. This podcast does contain spoilers. 

The legendary author George Orwell is famous for his classic novels 1984 and Animal Farm. But there are many other books that Orwell wrote that are less well-known. In today's podcast, I dig into Orwell's first novel Burmese Days. In this book, we follow the character James Flory, an Englishman who spends his time drinking and socializing in the European social club in Burma with his fellow Englishman. Despite these acquaintances, Flory is unsatisfied with his life and seeks a way to find fulfillment while he lives in the jungles of Burma.
