I loved the idea of kindle where you can try out a few chapters of any book for free before purchasing it. James Clear argues, that focusing only on improving those habits will lead to much bigger changes and accomplishments. Uite, a te poza periodic și a compara pozele este o bună metodă de a rămâne motivat, pentru că schimbările se văd de la o lună la alta, de la un anotimp la altul, de la un an la altul. James Clear focused on writing a book that goes deep into every single step of habit creation from a practical point of view. There’s a lot of irony in including this anecdote in a chapter that talks about the importance of not “breaking the chain”.

Build each chapter out of unacknowledged (stolen/refurbished) concepts, coming from other writings that predate this book. Well, June's book/audiobook (you get it, I'm not going to keep doing that, because 1 it is super annoying to type and 2 you get it) is Atomic Habits . 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, and achieve success that lasts. Atomic Habits has only added to the last 5 months' worth of self-help books I have read and both reinforced and given me a little more insight into how to create long-lasting and sustainable habits to get what I want out of this one life.It lays out all the rules of changing/developing habits in a simple, straightforward way and gets right to the point without a bunch of rambling and seemingly unrelated filler chapters like some other self development books i've read. This breakthrough book from James Clear is the most comprehensive guide on how to change your habits and get 1% better every day. The chapter summaries were helpful to remember key points, but also made it clear there was substantial filler surrounding a couple of main ideas.

When I was younger I always had a hard time reading because of my dyslexia, but the last couple years I decided I was going to create the habit of reading a little bit every morning. Clear shares stories of people who have successfully employed the tips he shares in their life to create systems that work and generate success. Then in the last chapter, in his "downsides to habit change" he discusses how identity can hold you back.

So when I was reading these first few chapters it got me thinking that I have to make these types of atomic habits for myself. I enjoyed reading some of those, but far too often, content felt like it was being regurgitated from other books and work in the field of habits and human psychology. Clear states four behaviour change laws that are necessary when it comes to forming a lasting habit. This useful Atomic Habits summary cheat sheet compresses many of the key ideas and insights from the book into a handy reference guide for how to build a good habit or break a bad one.

Throughout my college and University days in my undergraduate studies, I tried to read a lot but could never hold my interest in a book for more than a day at best.

Afterward, it´s often difficult to say how the final results, ideas, solutions paths developed, but conditioning oneself to combine focus and flow to hard fun and gamification, optional collaborative learning, yuck, might be a good alternative to just partying hard.

I thought this type of information could help me with my 2021 goals (which have been blown to bits). Totally engaging and quite convincing in how the book makes you want to change your bad habits and adopt good ones, this book doesn't talk in a way to make you feel overwhelmed or make you feel like everything you do is wrong or inadequate. 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. When you fall in love with the process rather than the product, you don’t have to wait to give yourself permission to be happy. There's no weird go-go-go mentality and you don't have to do anything differently, other than to make very small positive changes that will set you up for success.

When you fall in love with the process rather than the product, you don’t have to wait to permit yourself to be happy. Together, these four steps form a neurological feedback loop—cue, craving, response, reward; cue, craving, response, reward—that ultimately allows you to create automatic habits. And I've always found that sticking to simple, small, easy changes is the best way to get long-term results.
