I made it about halfway through Atomic Habits earlier this year (at my therapist's suggestion) and it inspired me to make some small-but-important life changes that I have thus far been able to stick to.
There are obviously some egregious Jordan Peterson books in there and I'm unfamiliar with most of the rest.

If anyone is still reading any of those books 5 years from now I will be astonished. But there will be a whole new batch of warmed-over pop psychology and simple-minded self-motivational books by then, so no one will miss these.

*stows away copy of What Is To Be Done I was planning to hand trick-or-treaters*
― Daniel_Rf, Monday, 31 October 2022 10:38 (one year ago) link
we sat on the porch with a massive bowl of penny candy and invited anyone who stopped in to pick out two choices.
two obviously twentysomething kids smoking weed stopped when they saw us on our stoop and one of them tossed on a covid mask and wandered up with "trick or treat, i just turned 15." he took a kitkat with our blessing.
separately, a lady in her fifties/sixties wearing a hijab strolled right up and lunged at our bowl before we could react, grabbing two massive handfuls, dumping them in her bag and then tried to do it again. we actually had to restrain her. she laughed and said something heavily accented about "3 at home" and held her arm out expecting more. i dubiously gave her an additional assortment of starbursts to make her go away. She looked to be carrying something like 15 pounds of candy in multiple sacks already. she tried the same thing next door but didn't make it past their front gate. Possibly a known local character that I haven't met yet?
Everyone else who arrived was 12 or under or parents and exceptionally polite. One dad had a killer homemade Red Guardian costume. Lots of anime characters. One dad shredder and his two kids as ninja turtles. One family dressed as the local broadcast crew for the Mets, kid wearing a mustache and a bald cap tells me "my dad will have to explain."
