Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones

James Clear

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

No matter your goals, Atomic Habits offers a proven framework for improving—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 habits--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 goal.

    i've been subscribed to james clear's newsletter for a little while now, and i found a lot of the things he says really interesting. this book is obviously about habits - but i definitely feel as though it helped me to reframe how i see habits/systems in my life and i really liked the many practical steps and examples he gives throughout the book to help work towards setting or breaking habits. now i only wish i was motivated enough to actually do something.

    Some good concepts. My favorite takeaways:

    - Make a new habit easy by only doing what can be done in 2 minutes.
    - Starting small is better than working on one bigger habit at a time because it creates momentum.
    - Pair an action you don’t want to do with something you already enjoy (i.e. clean the kitchen sink each night, then light my favorite candle)

    A lot of bro energy, though. Inevitably, someone else will come along in a few years and write a book that takes into account that our habits are often based on limiting beliefs and you can’t muscle your way through that (though we all try). Getting through the last few chapters was a struggle.
