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.

Motivating. I really enjoyed the book. Overall, it helped me develop better habits. He backed up a lot of his information with research. It’s all science pretty much to build better habits from what I understood and he breaks it down well and gives great examples.

Lowsandhighsxo

Great read to start the new year. Loved it

Brock_zahler

Excellent. I would normally never read a “self help book,” but this one has so many good reviews from (seemingly) non-pretentious people that I decided to give it a try. It’s a super easy read and I think a lot of the tips and tricks here are useful and novel. The author layers in some great stories and attention-grabbing ideas that keep this book from feeling too much like a list of to-dos if that makes sense. I’ll definitely be using some of these tactics and I’d be interested in reading more from James. Plus he’s from Columbus!

Southside indian

Needed this. Doing the 75 Hard challenge at the same time as I read this. It was almost like a perfect explanation of what I hope will change for me after I’m done with the challenge.

Kayleigh Jade

Super Actionable. I found this book to be profound, well-written, super actionable and practical.

B.lovely🤗

Favorite Self Help read of ALL! TIME!. As someone who has undiagnosed adhd 😅 I struggle with procrastination, non-commitment, impulsive behavior, perfectionism and the list goes on and on. This book not only helped me to understand my habits on an atomic level but gave me the confidence and the know-how to make effective changes in my life WITHOUT ALL THE PRESSURE! A 1% positive increase over time can compound into astronomical differences in your life. This is a habit ‘bible’!

J.rstar

A must read. Everyone should read this book. I’m in my mid 20’s and this book has calmed my mind about approaching and building my future. It gave me a tool to help me reach my, once thought, impossible goals and stay motivated in the process.

Reviews by GTB

Honestly in my Top 3 Books. This book is easy to read and the ideas presented are easy to implement. The best part is that it’s a short book. Clear drew upon multiple sources to make this a concise and convincing book. Absolutely loved it.

Noah Friedel

Both insightful and practical.. This book was really helpful to me, both in the way it explained how & why habits are formed, as well as in its practical advice on how to apply this knowledge. It gets a full recommendation from me!

PJNealJr.

Simple frameworks for creating the life you want. Must read for anyone who can’t see the pathway in front of them. This book is the step that leads you where you want to go.

Raouf_ttdx

Great book. This book really taught me how rethink about life and how habits actually from our identity without us noticing. I am giving it 4 because the beginning of the book kind of made me think that this book is not what it looks to be, but I would definitely suggest you to read it.

DomPangallo

Struggling with he little things? Not after you read this!. A family member of mine recommended this book to me and I could not be more appreciative that he did. The amount of insight in this read in endless and very easy to comprehend! I myself am not much of a reader. I have struggled and still do at times to get into the mindset of sitting down to read and relax. After diving into Atomic Habits this is one important aspect of life that I will continue to make one of my habits and its all because of the systems this book has helped me put in place. 10/10 would recommend to ANY reader out there!

Stuff I rate

Page Turner. This is a remarkable book. It shows how habits show our everyday life and future.

To Be Read on the Regular. This book is amazing and full of practical and real world tips to cultivate healthy habits that are easy to implement in small increments.

Maxmattmav

Great Read. Powerful book that goes beyond just a todo list to adjust your habits. It’s inspiring and makes you think deeper about the person, leader and professional you aspire to be and how to reflect to make changes even if it’s just 1% at a time.

Rohan reads

Great Book!. I had heard a lot about this book, and how much change it could provide in one’s mindset. I feel like a lot of these things I have done over the years without noticing, but this really made these tiny ideas stick out. I will definitely have to come back around and read this again in the future.

Sara.e.browne

Five stars. Really forces you to reflect and improve your daily habits. This is one of those books that I think everybody should read once. An eye opener.

RaymondZinCA

Too practical. This book is too practice lacking theory ,statistics, good examples, or abstract concepts. It’s not thought provoking. I also didn’t experience any single ah ha moment while reading. I would would suggest that reading a summary is more than enough.

C.taggie

Clear and straightforward. I love this book so much. I love how the author presents his ideas in clear and straightforward ways, this makes the ideas easy to understand and the concepts easy to apply and implement into ones life. I highly recommend.

Schmizzle04

Life Altering. This book saved my life. Bold statement I know but when you start to understand how small little negative habits are eating away at your success, happiness, joy and love it becomes scary to think of what 5 or 10 years down the road looks like. I listened to this book in December of 2018. I only started to apply these tools in February of 2019. I was at my lowest at that point. I was 192lb, drinking at least 2 drinks a day and rarely exercising. I let my business falter and my marriage was heading down a terrible path. This book sparked me, but not only that gave me tangible tools to make the tiny micro changes I needed to do I could get back on track. It started with 5 push-ups and 5 sit-ups. We are almost a year later to the date and I have lost 20lbs. I have completed 75 Hard and am not only in the best shape of my life I feel like I am in elite shape comparatively. My business is thriving and I have had so many opportunities hit my plate in the last 2 months that I can barely keep up. I have fully prescribed to the notion of setting huge goals and then setting the smallest habits to get their. Thank you for writing this book and truly saving my life. I cannot express in words how different 2019 would be had I not read this book.

Wicho77

A must-read if you want to make fundamental changes. You can't argue with someone if the arguments that he gave you are well-founded. That is the case with this book. It makes it easy to understand why I had such a hard time changing and how I can solve that with a real strategy.

Excellent Book—Makes improvement seem so simple. This is a great book. There is just the right amount of redundancy that the critical points are well learned and remembered. Wish I had read this book earlier in my life! Great job!

Aug982461

I can finally be the me that I have always strived to be.. I have always wanted to make changes in my life and I have started many good habits and unfortunately bad. But regardless of how great or how much a “habit” improved my life I could never stick with it. But after reading this book I finally understand how the process of life and self improvement looks. Over the last 2 weeks reading this book, my life has begun to change dramatically and for the good. This time around however, I no longer strive for a certain goal or outcome for every habit. Instead I focus on the overall goal and the small steps or small improvements that I am making by showing up and being consistent. Thank you James Clear for not only the research that went into this book but sharing the wonderful knowledge of atomic habits.

Jejejwkejrbvyvehw
