Description
People think that when you want to change your life, you need to think big. But world-renowned habits expert James Clear has discovered another way. He knows that real change comes from the compound effect of hundreds of small decisions: doing two push-ups a day, waking up five minutes early, or holding a single short phone call.
He calls them Atomic Habits.
In this ground-breaking book, Clears reveals exactly how these minuscule changes can grow into such life-altering outcomes. He uncovers a handful of simple life hacks (the forgotten art of Habit Stacking, the unexpected power of the Two Minute Rule, or the trick to entering the Goldilocks Zone), and delves into cutting-edge psychology and neuroscience to explain why they matter. Along the way, he tells inspiring stories of Olympic gold medalists, leading CEOs, and distinguished scientists who have used the science of tiny habits to stay productive, motivated, and happy.
These small changes will have a revolutionary effect on your career, your relationships, and your life.

I have always been intrigued by the idea of personal growth and self-improvement, but I often found it challenging to make lasting changes in my habits. That’s where “Atomic Habits” by James Clear comes in, and let me tell you, it’s nothing short of a revelation.
This book takes a refreshingly practical approach to habit formation and breaking bad habits. James Clear introduces the concept of atomic habits, which are small, incremental changes that have a remarkable impact over time. By focusing on the tiny, seemingly insignificant actions that make up our daily routines, Clear demonstrates how these habits can compound and lead to remarkable transformations.
One of the things I appreciated most about this book is Clear’s ability to blend scientific research with relatable anecdotes and practical advice. He doesn’t just preach theory; he provides actionable steps and strategies that are easy to understand and implement in everyday life. The book is filled with compelling examples and case studies that illustrate the power of atomic habits and how they can shape our identity and determine our success.
Clear emphasizes the importance of creating an environment that supports our desired habits, and he offers valuable insights into how to design our surroundings to make good habits inevitable and bad habits nearly impossible. His strategies for habit stacking, habit tracking, and habit shaping are incredibly effective and have helped me establish positive routines and break free from detrimental behaviors.
Another aspect I loved about “Atomic Habits” is how the author tackles the inevitable setbacks and obstacles that come with habit change. Clear provides practical advice on how to overcome plateaus, stay motivated, and recover from slip-ups without falling back into old habits. He emphasizes the power of small wins and the compounding effect they have on our motivation and self-belief.
By the time I finished reading this book, I had a newfound appreciation for the potential of small, consistent actions to transform my life. “Atomic Habits” is not just a book; it’s a roadmap for personal growth and a guide to building a life of intention and fulfillment. Whether you’re looking to improve your health, relationships, career, or any other area of your life, this book is a must-read.
In conclusion, “Atomic Habits” is an absolute game-changer. It’s a practical, engaging, and well-researched book that offers a clear blueprint for building good habits and breaking bad ones. James Clear’s writing style is accessible and relatable, making it an enjoyable read from start to finish. If you’re serious about transforming your life, I can’t recommend this book highly enough. Get ready to unleash the power of atomic habits and watch your life take off!

I was curious and I borrow a book from that library and I was hook, yes it help to realized that we learn not because we are smart , we are successful because we have habits, and this help us to realize that habits made the difference. Read this book and you will not be disappointed.

This is one of the best books I have ever read as it asks you to do the hard thing; decide on the type of person you want to be. Once you’ve got that, just identify the habits that support the person you are becoming and follow the system in the book to both create good new habits and eliminate old bad habits.
Kudos Mr. Clear. I found this very valuable even though I’m already in my 60’s.
Great for all ages.
