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, 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.

Ratings and reviews

the author is a bit robotic, but every time I start thinking this is too self-help-like or he's too robotic I can't relate, he drops another nugget of wisdom. worth it, stick with it. I think I'll listen again.

This is a good book outlining fundamental strategies for behavior change. The book provides techniques and examples, but leaves you to apply the rules to your own desired habits.

This amazing book is like a good friend who tells you pretty much obvious things in order for you to improve but that you need to hear. Any time I saw cheese on the table, I couldn't stop eating it, I just cut one piece and another and another and so on; now, when there's cheese on the table, I cut one piece, ask if somebody likes a piece, and then put the cheese back on the fridge, and this was an amazing solution for me to stop eating too much cheese :) Thank you James Clear!
