A revolutionary guide to using tiny changes in behaviour to transform your life

THE PHENOMENAL INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER- 10 MILLION COPIES SOLD

Transform your life with tiny changes in behaviour, starting now.

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.

This book is a must read!

Reviewed in Australia on 1 March 2024

If you are in the journey to improve yourself and change things in your life, this is a must!
it gives you the awareness to see your present, the way to think about it, the tools to make the changes you like for your life and for those changes you make to be part of who you are, making the changes last and not be a new years resolution that you do for one month and you go back to the same wishing but not implementing.
Really good and easy read and to understand!

Get 1% Better Everyday

Atomic Habits review

“Get 1% better every day”.

I am slightly biased in writing this review because prior to reading the book I already possessed a near religious belief in habits and how they impact our lives. Having read previous habit books like Charles Duhigg Power of Habits and Marshall Goldsmith “triggers”, I felt I was at least relatively intermediate on my knowledge of the topic.

Why did I read the book then? Because learning (or reinforcing learning) about habits is one of the most powerful ways for you to improve in the game of life. Your habits shape your destiny is one of my core beliefs so I am always happy to try to get a new “edge” or ways to improve them. I also
expected to find new gems that would help reinforce the message of why habits are so powerful and I was not disappointed.

But enough of my own habits and life, the question is whether you should read this book? The resounding answer is YES.
Honestly, who doesn’t want to get better at something? Or who doesn't want to stop doing something?

James Clear is a fantastic writer who I have followed his informative articles on a variety of topics for nearly a year. A lot of what is in the book is material he has written about on his website as other reviewers have stated but he puts it together in a very neat format for the book so even his regular readers should get something out of this. I actually took so many notes/highlights from the Kindle edition that I almost reached the publisher limit of 10% - a sign that I believe highly in what I am reading and want to reflect upon it for years to come.

The opening pages of the book lay down a quote I will now repeat forever “if you can get 1% better each day for one year, you’ll end up thirty- seven times better by the time you’re done. Conversely, if you get 1% worse each day for one year, you’ll decline nearly down to zero.” The beginning lays out why habits are so powerful and how habits shape who we are as people before getting into the HOW of starting to build better habits.

The core of the book is based on the author’s “4 Laws” of habit change - Make it obvious, Make it Attractive, Make it Easy, Make it Satisfying”. By following the laws of habit creation we improve our chances of success in creating new habits.

Without droning on too long, I must highly recommend this book. Even if you have no idea about what a habit is or if you are already advanced in the practising of habit change then this book will still teach you so much. If not just a refresher on the topic to keep you motivated. Seriously, anyone of any age could benefit from this book. It gives you the tools to start thinking more clearly about your life and improving it. I would recommend it to anyone over the other habit books I have read (see above) as it is relatively short and provides the “how to” parts on a silver platter.

I will end my post on a few excellent quotes of the book towards the end (Ch.19 ”How to Stay Motivated” as this is the golden question for once you finish the book. A coach was asked by Clear what is the difference between the best athletes and everyone else? The coach said: ‘the factors you might expect: genetics, luck, talent. But then he said something I wasn’t expecting: “At some point it comes down to who can handle the boredom of training every day, doing the same lifts over and over and over.”

“Mastery requires practice. But the more you practice something, the more boring and routine it becomes. Once the beginner gains have been made and we learn what to expect, our interest starts to fade.

It is a fantastic book but the key thing will be can you then translate that into action? The book gives you the best leg up you can get - it’s then up to you to turn knowledge into action and go and get 1% better every darn day.

Atomic Habits: James Clear

Reviewed in Australia on 28 September 2020

Verified Purchase

I chanced upon James Clears’ blog on a random Google search for my “Next Book to Read”. After checking his list of recommendations, I read a few of his posts and I was hooked. The writing was easy to read and understand, his research thorough and reading his posts felt like having a personal life coach cheering you from afar.
When I saw Atomic Habits listed on his website, I was very keen to read it. Fast forward 6 months, I finally purchased the kindle version and I am thrilled with it. The book follows his usual style of writing – which is crisp, easy to read and packs a punch.
There are actionable insights in the book, that when implemented consistently, can bring about significant changes in our lives. No task seems too big to achieve – ask anyone who has tried building a new habit or deleting an old one from their lives, how difficult it is to keep at it for 21 days or 60 or 90 (depending on which literature you’re reading). But the methods listed in this book can allow you to overcome failure just as easily as they encourage you to successfully implement new habits.
The ideas listed in the book are forgiving and generous, quite literally, where some ask you to focus on incremental gains, some don’t reprimand you for missing one day of a new diet / workout schedule, others give you simple, straightforward suggestions to increase your chances of success in implementing new habits.
There’s no long story, scientific jargon, unnecessary fillers or flimsy writing to make you NOT want to turn the page. This is definitely worth your money and time.

James Clear's "Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones" is a groundbreaking exploration into the science of habit formation, offering practical strategies for personal transformation and lasting change.

One of the standout features of "Atomic Habits" is its emphasis on the power of small changes. Clear introduces the concept of "atomic habits," tiny behaviors that compound over time to produce remarkable results.

Another strength of "Atomic Habits" lies in its evidence-based approach to habit formation. Clear distills decades of research from various fields—including psychology, neuroscience, and behavioral economics—into practical strategies that anyone can apply to their daily lives.

The book's structure is clear and accessible, making it easy to digest and implement its concepts. Each chapter is filled with compelling anecdotes, insightful examples, and actionable steps that guide readers on their journey to habit mastery.

One of the most impactful aspects of "Atomic Habits" is its emphasis on mindset and identity. Clear challenges readers to shift their focus from outcome-based goals to identity-based habits, encouraging them to align their behaviors with the type of person they want to become.

In conclusion, "Atomic Habits" is a must-read for anyone committed to personal growth and self-improvement.

This is for sure among the must-read books, maybe even on the top. The language is clear, structure is flawless, and examples and explanations are on another level! Some arguments might not be 100% supported by scientific evidence, however, the writer does a good job conveying the message without much compromise in accuracy.
