Not bad, but not great

An interesting and somewhat inspiring podcast, but overall it felt kind of hollow. I liked the idea of bringing out each habit with an example of a person or philosophy, but many of the examples were so mainstream that it didn't feel any different than stuff I've seen before. Maybe that was the point, to deliver a message with more common and known people and ideas that it was easier to swallow for others.

Not worth my time

I was looking for more depth and inspiration but I didn't find it here. I'm disappointed.

One of the best I’ve heard on self improvement

I’m sure the author put a lot of time and effort in researching all the different perspectives to come up with the ideas to make someone’s life better. It was summarized very well. I heard it once but plan to go back to it multiple times.

Lacking incite, patronising & not very entertaining

I found “doctor happy” to be an unappealing and patronising author/reader who gives me the feeling he feels his blindingly obvious nuggets of wisdom, are gold (and not the scrapings out the bottom of the cliche barrel).

Secondarily, it’s also ploddingly slow - like he has a few bullet points which he’s desperately trying to tease out into many hours of content.

If you want something that can actually help I’d say read/listen to “Atomic Habits” instead.

There is a reason this is free on Audible!!!

Weak production values when compared to the BBC

Disappointing. Not presented well so that the content was obscured. The BBC would have done this better

Dr Sharp does it again!

I’m am a huge fan of Dr Sharp’s work. He has a vulnerability and relatability about him that means his message is so powerful. This offering is just as good the others in the Habits series, if not better. Stellar job, Dr Sharp!

Because I'm happy!

Dr Tim Sharp aka Dr Happy delivers balanced and achievable steps for developing great habits. As someone whose habits have been less than desirable, I now have the tools to improve myself each day. Thanks for delivering this podcast in a refreshing, non condescending and easy to follow manner Dr Happy.

Great summation of lots of ideas

Provides different viewpoints in a non-judgemental way to encourage personal reflection and application. Well worth a listen even if just to consider varied points of view, philosophies and ideas.
