“Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your new identity.” – 5/5 stars!
Attention! This book contains: systems, small changes, behaviors, a new identity, the two minute rule and, of course, atomic habits.
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.
This book is absolutely phenomenal! I thought it was hard to find a better habit book after reading “The Power of Habit” by Charles Duhigg, but I was wrong. While Duhigg’s book is focused on the science behind habits, Clear’s book focuses on the practical aspect of habit changing. If you are looking for a book to create new habits or to stop old habits, this is the book for you! There are a few reasons why I love this book:
- This is a very practical book. The author gives easy and clear instructions for the reader to follow. He also explains what’s behind each tip.
- The fresh perspective on habits. Some of the things said in this book may seem like common sense at first, but I think Clear’s new perspective on the subject is what makes the book so special.
- How simple and easy to follow this book is. It’s not a dense, complex or hard book to keep up with. Everything is very well structured and the language used is accessible to readers of all ages.
- The recaps. I really like how the author keeps coming back to the previously mentioned tips after each chapter. It’s a great way to consolidate what is learned.
I learned a lot from this amazing book and I already use some of its teachings in my daily life. I strongly believe you’ll take something from this book if you give it a chance. I just know I’m going to pick this up from time to time! Highly recommend it for progress in the long-term.
