Tiny Changes, Remarkable Results
No matter your goals, Atomic Habits offers a proven framework for improvingâ??every day. James Clear, one of the world's leading experts on habit formation, reveals practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results.
If you're having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn't you. The problem is your system. Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don't want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change. You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems. Here, you'll get a proven system that can take you to new heights.
Clear is known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple behaviors that can be easily applied to daily life and work. Here, he draws on the most proven ideas from biology, psychology, and neuroscience to create an easy-to-understand guide for making good habits inevitable and bad habits impossible. Along the way, readers will be inspired and entertained with true stories from Olympic gold medalists, award-winning artists, business leaders, life-saving physicians, and star comedians who have used the science of small habits to master their craft and vault to the top of their field.
Learn how to:
  • make time for new habits (even when life gets crazy);
  • overcome a lack of motivation and willpower;
  • design your environment to make success easier;
  • get back on track when you fall off course;
  • ...and much more.
    Atomic Habits will reshape the way you think about progress and success, and give you the tools and strategies you need to transform your habitsâ??whether you are a team looking to win a championship, an organization hoping to redefine an industry, or simply an individual who wishes to quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, or achieve any other

    "Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement."
    This is a very inspirational book. It is also practical and user-friendly. Here are my major take-aways:
    1. As you continue to layer small changes on top of one another, the scales start to move.... "small changes often appear to make no difference until you reach a critical threshold."
    2. How to shape a good habit: make it easy, attractive, and satisfying.
    3. How to discourage a bad habit: make it invisible, unattractive, hard, and unsatisfying.

    This is a book I want to keep on hand for reflection and review...as the author has observed, "A lack of self-awareness is poison. Reflection and review is the antidote."

    Great book with tons of advice on how to setup good habits and break those bad habits. The key takeaways for me were 1) start small and easy, and 2) change takes persistence. There's a reason this book has almost 4.5 stars with over 150,000 ratings. Clear is a good writer that breaks things down well. If you want to or have ever wanted to change the way you do things in your life you need to read this book. ( )

    Read because I heard the author on the Making Sense with Sam Harris podcast. Some good scaffolding for making new habits and breaking bad ones, but this book is absolutely loaded with fluff. It could have been 50 pages long, or even a pamphlet. I can appreciate the research Clear has done and he's got a specialty here. ( )

    I give James Clear kudos for his life changing formula. I'm sure if I'd read this book a few decades ago, I would have been able to put some of his strategies into place. At this point in my life, it's a change too far for me. I gave it over 100 pages, though.
