Personally I didn't like this collection at all, the stories were too vague. A good short story should still have a beginning and an end, but these started in the middle and ended when the author felt like she should stop writing. And the more experimental stories didn't work at all. I haven't picked up her famous memoir yet because I disliked her writing here so much.

I think reading books like Atomic Habits gives people instant serotonin boost, especially because they already know the information. They're like "yes, tomorrow I will do this and my life will change!". Sometimes reading about things feels as good as actually doing them and our brains can't tell the difference.
