In the last chapter of Atomic Habits, we discuss how to review your habits, break beliefs that hold you back and break down the 'secret to long-lasting results'. As habits become automatic you can become less sensitive to feedback and can fall into mindless repetition and stop thinking about how to do better. Habits can lock us into rigid patterns of thinking and acting. We discuss this and more in this video. Thank you to James Clear for creating this book and thank you to all of you for supporting me in creating these. This is the 5th book I have summarised in full. You would be hard-pressed to find anyone as consistent, curious and tenacious as me. If you would like to support me and the creation of these book summaries please consider supporting me on Patreon.

Is it riskier to get the COVID-19 vaccine or get COVID-19? This video aim's to objectively summarise the literature on the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine and how to interpret and critically evaluate the data to make an informed decision on the risk associated with receiving the vaccine versus not.

I hope this analysis can provide clarity, objectivity and critical thought to help people make informed decisions around COVID-19.

Many people called 2020 the 'worst year of their life' or the 'year from hell'. Consider how that perspective may be aiding in creating the conditions you say you don't want. Maybe we can use the fire of suffering to sharpen our sword so we can fight future battles with more courage and strength. "Within every adversity is an equal or greater benefit. Within every problem is an opportunity. Even in the knocks of life, we can find great gifts."

2020 was one of the best years of my life for the multitude of gifts it gave me in the form of these 30 profound lessons I learnt. Maybe we should all hop off the treadmill of life for a moment and force ourselves to pause and reflect on how the never-ending adversity of life gifts us with many silver linings...we just have to have our eyes open to see them.
