Atomic Habits By James Clear
One of my favourite books. Learn how small habits can have a big impact on your life.
How many habits do you have? You might need a minute to think about that question, because habits are, by definition, behaviours that we perform automatically, with little or no thought. From making a coffee when we get up in the morning to brushing our teeth before bed at night, our habits subtly guide our daily lives.
As a result, you may not realize how much power there is in these habits. If repeated every day, even the smallest actions, from saving a pound to smoking a single cigarette, can accumulate force and have a huge effect. So understanding and embracing habits is a great way to take control of your business and achieve more.
Throughout the book, you’ll learn precisely what habits are, how they are formed and how you can harness them to change your life for the better.
Within the book, you’ll learn…
- why modern life makes our brains’ natural wiring somewhat inconvenient;
- how a cat in a box advanced scientific understanding of habit formation; and
- what a nice new soap in a Pakistani neighbourhood can tell us about building habits that stick.
