Tiny Changes, Remarkable Results
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, listeners 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 willpowerDesign your environment to make success easierGet back on track when you fall off courseAnd 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.

Huge toolkit of actionable, practical, organized strategies to build positive habits
I’ve read a lot of books on changing behavior and building habits and James Clear’s Atomic Habits is my new favorite. This book is different from others in the way it covers an enormous amount of ground in the larger area of self-improvement while seamlessly tying all these ideas back into the central theme of habits.One of the core concepts in Atomic Habits is to focus on the small improvement. The impact a 1% improvement per day can make may appear negligible at first, but Clear makes a compelling argument that in the case of habits, thinking small produces the biggest results over time. “Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement,” explains Clear.Over the months and years, the accumulated effect of small habitual daily behaviors is staggering. Early in the book we are also warned that this compounding works both ways, so we’d better make sure we’re making it work in the positive direction, not for the negative.This is a concept I was introduced to years ago under a different name – Kaizen – the Japanese term for continuous incremental improvement. What’s different and new in this book is how the concept is applied specifically to building habits.I found the information introduced in chapter two about behavior change at the identity level to be spot-on. You’re also given a simple two-step process for changing your identity and this one idea alone is incredibly powerful.In chapter three, we are introduced to the habit loop – cue, craving, response, reward – and we learn how to build good habits in 4 simple steps and break bad habits in 4 simple steps.One of those steps to habit formation, which goes hand in hand with the 1% concept, is how to make it not only small, but easy. In the chapters that follow, this is exactly what you find out.Other ideas of great value that stood out included, habit stacking (the best way to form a new habit), habit tracking, habit shaping and how to design your environment – physical and social – for habit building success. You learn the truth about self-control, how to stop procrastinating and how to use implementation intentions, temptation bundling and motivational rituals. The book is simply packed with actionable ideas, tactics and strategies.Virtually every idea in the book is useful and resonated with me. While I may not agree that we should “forget about goals,” I agree with one of Clear’s core principles in the book – that we must develop systems for change. If we only focus on goals and don’t develop systems and a focus on the process, we risk falling into a number of goal-related traps which ultimately lead to stagnation. With the right systems, we’re rewarded with continuous improvement on a lifelong journey of success.Another difference between Atomic Habits and other books in this genre is that while it’s based on science it doesn’t bog you down with unnecessary details of the research. Clear’s book is intensely practical, giving you a huge toolkit of organized and named strategies you can apply immediately to create and strengthen positive habits and stop the negative ones.The book is conversational, and includes many interesting stories, making it easy to read – and hard to put down (I read it cover to cover in one day).It’s possible this might become your most highlighted personal improvement book because every page is so chocked full of memorable and quotable gems of advice.

Perfect book to create new habits
This is such an incredible book. It really helps you change your mindset to create new habits. This was purchased to help me start working out more, and it did just that. It’s quick, easy to read and easy to understand to apply to your everyday life. This is a must read for everyone. I will say the very beginning tho, is very graphic. Once past that tho, you are in the clear with easy reading. Everyone should have this on their reading list!

Includes author’s story for writing this book
It was a nice surprise to read about the reason behind the writing of this book.Another refreshing aspect is that the book covers how habits are formed, whether good or bad and how to keep the good ones.As is my custom, when reading most books, is to read through the table of contents. When I came upon chapter 20 titled “The Downside of Creating of Creating Good Habits”. So that’s where I started but certainly not where I finished.Although I’m only at the beginning of chapter 4, entitled “The Man Who Didn’t Look Right”, I’m finding it a very interesting and helpful read.Atomic Habits consists of 306 pages which includes the index.Another interesting aspect of this book is the Notes section. It contains a detailed list of notes, references and citations towards the back that covers each chapter.Would I recommend this book. Yes and no. This should not be considered a quick read. It’s a book that takes time to imbibe and practice otherwise, why bother.I bought the book because of a friend’s recommendation. I needed something more in changing my eating habits. To be certain, this isn’t a diet book but rather an explicit way in going from bad habits to good ones. As I once heard, life’s a journey because a trip is too short.The only reason I gave it a four star rating is because I prefer hardback books without dust jackets. They only serve to getting in the way. I do read them but then off to the trash they go.

“Atomic Habits” by James Clear is a comprehensive guide to habit formation and change. It’s a practical and actionable book that provides a framework for understanding how habits work and how to use that knowledge to build positive habits and break negative ones.Key Principles and Concepts:The 4 Laws of Behavior Change: Clear outlines four simple yet powerful laws that govern habit formation:Make it Obvious: Make the cues that trigger your desired habits highly visible and easy to access.Make it Attractive: Associate your desired habits with positive emotions and rewards.Make it Easy: Reduce friction and make your desired habits as easy to perform as possible.Make it Satisfying: Ensure that your desired habits are immediately rewarding and reinforce positive feelings.The Power of Small Changes: Clear emphasizes the importance of making small, incremental changes to your habits over time. He argues that even tiny improvements can have a significant impact on your long-term success.The Importance of Identity: Clear highlights the role of identity in habit formation. He suggests that focusing on who you want to become can help you develop habits that align with your desired identity.The Habit Loop: Clear explains the habit loop, which consists of a cue, a craving, a response, and a reward. He shows how understanding this loop can help you identify and modify your habits.Practical Applications:Habit Stacking: Clear suggests using habit stacking to build new habits by linking them to existing habits. For example, you could link brushing your teeth to reading a book.Implementation Intentions: Clear advocates for using implementation intentions to increase the likelihood of performing your desired habits. An implementation intention is a plan that specifies when, where, and how you will perform a habit.Habit Tracking: Clear encourages habit tracking to monitor your progress and identify areas for improvement. He suggests using a simple habit tracker to track your daily habits.Overall:”Atomic Habits” is an insightful and practical guide to habit formation and change. It’s a valuable resource for anyone looking to improve their life by developing positive habits and breaking negative ones.
