Atomic Habits by James Clear
An easy & proven way to build good habits and break bad ones.
Setting forth with the principle of making tiny changes to see remarkable results, James Clear provides a proven framework for improving your life, no matter your goals, and no matter how small those goals may seem. The book reveals easy and practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that are the bridge between dreaming and achieving.
If you're having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn't always you. Clear proposes that 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. Atomic Habits provides a proven system that can take you to new heights.
WP loves this book because it outlines the psychology and data behind why we so often end up with a slew of bad habits and the feeling of not meeting our potential. Once the reader is informed as to why we chose the habits we chose, Clear moves forward proposing a simple action plan for change. He summarizes the key takeaways at the end of each of the 20 chapters, which we find extremely helpful when trying to reference the book for use after reading.
Clear focuses on a few key areas:
- making time for new habits, even the small ones
- overcoming a lack of motivation and willpower
- designing your environment to make success easier
- how to get back on track when you fall off course
You will want to grab a highlighter for this read! Enjoy.
