I suggest Atomic Habits by James Clear. Building a habit effectively is a main topic but I believe that it’s closely related to motivation (and there’s some content about motivation as well). I liked the book due to its simplicity, pragmatism and well articulated model of a habits and “levers” that you can use to influence it. I still haven’t implemented all of the strategies/ideas from the book but a couple of them continue to have a positive impact. For example adapting/creating your identity so that it reinforces the habit (e.g. thinking about myself as a runner increases the chance that I’ll go for a run), and being more focused on my environment and how it supports/weakens new habit (e.g. hiding my tablet in a drawer in a separate room increases the chance that I’ll read a book).
