\nBook Summary:
\nNo matter your goals\, Atomic Habits offers a proven f ramework for improving--every day. James Clear\, one of the world's leadin g experts on habit formation\, reveals practical strategies that will teac h you exactly how to form good habits\, break bad ones\, and master the ti ny behaviors that lead to remarkable results.
\nIf you're having tro uble changing your habits\, the problem isn't you. The problem is your sys tem. Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don't wa nt to change\, but because you have the wrong system for change. You do no t 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.
\n< p>Clear is known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple beh aviors that can be easily applied to daily life and work. Here\, he draws on the most proven ideas from biology\, psychology\, and neuroscience to c reate an easy-to-understand guide for making good habits inevitable and ba d habits impossible. Along the way\, readers will be inspired and entertai ned 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 to p of their field.\nLearn how to:
* \; \;make time for
new habits (even when life gets crazy)\;
* \; \;overcome a la
ck of motivation and willpower\;
* \; \;design your environme
nt to make success easier\;
* \; \;get back on track when you
fall off course\;
...and much more.
Atomic Habits w ill reshape the way you think about progress and success\, and give you th e 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 we ight\, reduce stress\, or achieve any other goal.
