Atomic Habits Summary 📖 20 Lessons - James Clear

“Goals are good for setting a direction, but systems are best for making progress.” A good quote from the book. I also like the amz workbook called 30 Days to Reduce Stress by Harper Daniels.

I quit smoking using a well known authors book. And despite my husband still smoking and friends still smoking, I have been quit for over a year. You don’t always have to remove yourself from situations. Listening to the heroin soldiers story reminded me of this.

Habit changes - I no longer buy books as 99% of the content doesn't need to be read. Instead, I watch videos such as one percent better. I get the main points and save time and money. After my accident, I had to change my habits. I could no longer exercise using the biggest muscles in my body, so now I use a wheelchair-accessible gym and a lap pool. Now I need to work on my diet.... any book reviews about eating better? Another great video and review of a book... well done

Thanks for the summary! I have had this book for a couple years and never got around to reading it. Now that I know more about it, I definitely want to dive deeper and actually read it! 👍🏽🤪

One of the few "self help" books that actually use real science and psychology. James really does his research. And his sourcing is very well done. I bought this book in 2019 right before the pandemic. I've read at least maybe 5 books on habit formation, including books that were used in corporate training for companies like google, IBM, Intel, etc. This book is hands down the simplest, best explained and easily applicable book i've read so far. And his blog is really good too. Love the habit journal as well. I hope he comes out with a second edition.

The law of slow change every creature must abide by. Our minds rebel against big changes at once

Perfect timing! I just finished this book yesterday. I felt bumed because it was such a great read!

Thanks for the summary. God bless you.

Atomic Habits is in the top 5 self-improvement books in my opinion

Oh, also. His philosophy of systems vs goals is literally just another way of breaking down your dreams from Purpose, Vision, Goals, etc. For example, if I wanted to loose weight, and I wanted to keep my weight at around 200 pounds. Lets say I lost 20 lbs. Would I just stop there after I lost 20? No, id keep doing the same actions to remain there, unless I wanted to loose or gain the weight back. That's why he is saying goals only restrict us because they only look at one step that brings us to the big picture. Another example is like, If I wanted to be a runner, and I ran a marthon, well then what? Should I just stop there? No, id keep running races, and marathons, because thats what I do. Im a runner. That's why he uses the roles or identity to organize our habits. The one thing I think he should have talked about is how to set your vision. Because a vision is basically all your identity's or roles in one picture. Its what you want your life, or your business to be in the distant future, and of course that can change if you want to make changes. I think he got that idea from steven covey, because he uses roles in the 7 habits. I know David Allen uses roles as well in his 5 horizons in GTD. At least that's what I got from this. Maybe I missed something, idk. But that would make sense.
