“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”

- When James started his blog, he said he felt like an imposter. Did he feel the same way at any point writing this book?
- In the book, James mentioned he was creating small habits to help him fulfil his potential. Has he?
- Has James broken through his own plateau of latent potential?
- How do good habits reinforce our identity?
- How do I become the kind of person who would?
- Does the reinforcement of identity then cascade over to other areas of your life to create new good habits?
- What’s the hardest thing to pin down about bad habits?
- Once established habits stick; why do bad ones stick more than good ones?
- Why should we score habits?
- What’s batching?
- The aggregation of marginal gains
- Scale a habit down
- Creating momentum when creating a new habit
- Designing our environment to make success easier. Is where, as important as what or why?
- Is James a minimalist? Does he subscribe to that sort of ideal?
- Outcomes are the lagging measures of your habits, the accumulation of bad habits.
- James discusses how and why we should fall in love with boredom?
- What’s the difference between motion vs action?
- The higher the friction, the less likely that lousy habits form
- Why we have to be willing to experiment
- At the very end of the book, James thanks his wife Kristy for believing in him. Did he lack some self-belief?
