Atomic Habits by James Clear has been one of the most influential personal development books over the last few years. And for good reason!
In today's episode, Jay is chatting with Penelope, a fellow reader and online business owner, about how transformative this book has been for both of them. They discuss the concept of habit stacking and the importance of building small habits to achieve larger goals.
They also discuss Penelope's desire to incorporate more fiction novels into her reading life and a few books that Jay suggests she begins with.

- What we look for in personal development books.
