Master the Day: Eat, Move and Live Better With The Power of Daily Habits by Alexander Heyne

This book should have been cut down to half of pages. First 20 pages is build up fluff before the crux of the information you’re waiting on.
The end of chapter summary had more direct value than the anecdotes.
Whilst the information was interesting it was a low budget version of Atomic habits.
