Story
For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Stephen R. Covey's book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, has been a top seller for the simple reason that it ignores trends and pop psychology for proven principles of fairness, integrity, honesty, and human dignity. Celebrating its 15th year of helping people solve personal and professional problems, this special anniversary edition includes a new foreword and afterword written by Covey that explore whether the 7 Habits are still relevant and answer some of the most common questions he has received over the past 15 years.

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

It isn't other people that are standing in your way; it isn't even your circumstances that are blocking your ability to thrive. It's yourself and the negative self-talk you keep telling yourself.

After three years, one of his teachers told him that he would have more impact on the world if he left the monk’s path to share his experience and wisdom with others.

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, listeners 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.
What the critics say
"Atomic Habits was a great read. I learned a lot and think it’ll be helpful to a lot of people." (Gayle King, co-anchor of CBS This Morning and editor-at-large for O, The Oprah Magazine)
"In Atomic Habits, Clear will show you how to overcome a lack of motivation, change your environment to encourage success, and make time for new (and better) habits." (Glamour.com)
"Atomic Habits is a great book for anyone who is frustrated with the way they can’t seem to kick that one (or two dozen) bad habit(s) and wants to finally achieve health, fitness, financial freedom, great relationships, and a good life." (Medium.com)
Editorial Review
Change rarely happens all at once. As Atomic Habits shows, the road to success and life transformation starts with the smallest steps. Atomic Habits: An Easy and Proven Way to Build Good Habits and Break Bad Ones is the outcome of writer James Clear’s lived experience, endless research, and countless discoveries about how making small–infinitesimally small–changes can lead to great self-improvement over time. This audiobook falls just as easily into the business and careers world as it does the self-help and habit formation genres. It offers a straightforward and manageable solution for anyone who wants to discard their old bad habits and build newer, better habits in order to progress in any endeavour. A number-one nonfiction best seller in Canada and on the New York Times list, Atomic Habits has become the go-to guide for finding motivation, creating behaviour change and focusing on continuous improvement. By setting incremental goals and habit stacking, small changes become small habits, which replace bad habits and foster positive decision making. By implementing good daily habits, this innovative self-help book teaches the benefits of hard work and the power of habit. When a particular habit becomes automatic, it is ingrained as part of your identity, highlighting the compound interest of self-improvement. Current habits that are positive reinforce self-control, make bad habits impossible and can change your life with only a few simple steps. As Clear makes clear, the key to success and fulfillment is not to set lofty goals or aim for remarkable results but to steadily focus on forming new habits, which can truly change the way you see yourself, your abilities and your potential. Atomic Habits is full of takeaways and gems of wisdom that will take your life to new heights. While a lot of people struggle with implementing the best of intentions, everyone can make small habit changes. Clear himself narrates this title with a style that smoothly weaves a story, adding his personality and own experiences to every line, for a system that is sure to bring success to any listener.

An actually actionable self help book.
Don't think of this a self help book.
Here's why:
It doesn't drag out the same points over and over again.
It doesn't give you examples of super humans achieving super feats.
It doesn't give you a formula for success
It's not trying to "inspire you" that's BS and we all know it.
The recommendations are actionable. They're not weird either. Unfortunately, for the most part, we are the summation of our habits. Changing those habits....
Making the changes described in this book won't be trivial either. But there are some quick hits you can apply right away. It's a horrible cliche but you might call them "life hacks".
Now having used that phrase I'm going to put my head in the toilet bowl and start flushing.

The ultimate 'how to change your life' manual.
This book complements my other favourite book 'The Power of Habit' by Charles Duhigg.
While 'The Power of Habit' answers the 'how' and 'why' of habit change and accompanies research, 'Atomic habits' shows us how to apply these changes with much needed everyday examples.
This book is basically a much needed sequel to the above mentioned book, complete with an instruction manual on how to initiate and stick with habit changes, along with other resources for a common person.
I'm glad I bought it and heard it start to finish.

READ THIS BOOK NOW. LIKE, NOW!!
Excellent on many levels.
Habits and structure aren’t the sexiest things in the world. And after years of indoctrination, I found myself polarized from anything that felt restrictive.
What I am coming to know, greatly due to this book, is that my human brain can always be rewired. No matter how unsexy structure can seem, it IS the way for us to thrive.
It is in creating containers that we can flow freely through life. And maximize its level of quality.
Hugely recommended.

Pleasantly surprised not all principals were entirely obvious. And those that were came along with practical application suggestions. Really enjoyed it. More importantly, I know I will benefit from this knowledge. Each chapter is summarized at the end but still found gems within the text. I'll be going online to access see of the tools. Check this out. you won't regret it.

Atomic Habits is the perfect how to book with clear explanations and great illustrations. James Clear has a compelling, compassionate and kind voice. I think this is probably the best how-to book I've ever read and I will be listening to it over and over again. I have also subscribed to his website and newsletters and extras that he talks about in the book. I can't say enough about this book. It is a must-read

Habits: The James Clear Story
Signed up for a self-help book. Got a grueling history of the authors high school sports accomplishments. Pass.

Requires email to get any additional material
I thought it strange that one of the reviewers mentioned that the author kept mentioning his website. He does, but I didn't think anything of it. Going through the book (ie. listening to it), I was interested in the habits score card. I typically listen 2X, so the URL went by quickly. Later when I had some time I thought easy peasy, just Google atomic habits score card.
No real tangible links. Using the book title as the URL, it redirects to his website's page for the book. And that page is more or less just a sales page.
No biggie I think, this is a reasonable defense to have people need an explicit url to get to the info. I backtrack and find the url. Type it in my browser ... and ... you need to give him your email.
I already bought your book. I get enough spam as it is and I don't want to be on a mailing list. Not sure if the book includes the material or not. This downgrades the audiobook experience and feels like a sales tactic which feels a bit disingenuous.
Disappointing.

Insightful, practical, fresh, and potentially transformative
I am only about halfway through this book (just bought it yesterday), but I couldn't help put in at least a partial review. I absolutely LOVE reading this! James Clear has a phenomenal understanding of human behavior, and specifically how our habits define our identities. For me personally, he has offered a completely new way for me to understand WHY I continue my bad habits when in my head, I know they're bad, and why I find it so difficult to start good habits. Furthermore, he offers very specific strategies for how to change those habits so I can make myself into the person I know I should be. It's not about "will power," "motivation," "perseverance," or any of those traits we so often attribute to people who kick bad habits and start good ones. Instead, it's all about behaving in a way most consistent with the person we wish to be.
As James Clear says, our habits are actually neither GOOD nor BAD. Instead, they are either consistent or inconsistent with our desired identities. If I see myself as a healthy and successful professional and happy father and husband, then I have to closely examine each of my current habits and ask myself if those behaviors are consistent with how I'd like to identify myself. If they are not, then I need to modify those habits. The specifics of how to go about doing that is where I am in the book now. I'll update this review in a few weeks (or maybe months), after I have finished the book and had a chance to try out the strategies. But for now, I feel like I'm having an epiphany, and I haven't felt this way about a book since...well...ever. Amazingly, after one day of reading only half of his book, Mr. Clear, a man who doesn't know me at all, has shown me more about my own behavior than any psychologist or therapist I've ever met in my lifetime.

Wish I Could get credit back
Sadly, the book is more an advertisement to a website rather than a good read through. Blinkist offers a great breakdown of the book which is far more valuable than the consistent suggestions of the authors' website.

Possibly the best book I read in 2018
I like the fact that author read his book. He read clearly and is easy to follow. I devoured this book in two days and will now focus on implementing he’s strategies. I love the included templates. I will most definitely listen this again during this week while I’m working on building my habit system.

Good Actionable Content
This was a decent follow up to Charles Duhigg's The Power of Habit but not as engaging to me.
What Clear lacks, by comparison, in the narrative space he makes up for with an actionable approach.
This is a decent investment for the time required. I would suggest reading Duhigg first.

start here, if you are looking to achieve in life
I'll state this, this book should be read, then studied. I'll probably read this book twice a year until my life habits are conducive to the life I desire to live. many times we try to change but life gets in the way. the author provides a framework to overcome the mental aspect towards establishing the habits you want.

Motivational and very well-structured book!
I genuinely enjoyed listening to this audiobook. (which also happened to be my first) Although English is not my first language, I found the reading by the author very clear and well-structured. I also find it very easy to navigate.
As an eternal procrastinator, this book offered me a fresh perspective on habits and their power that I didn’t truly realize. What I like the most about this book, is how action-oriented it is. It is full of tips that everyone can apply immediately in their daily life.
The only negative part is that I didn’t find the pdf resources the author mentioned in the book. Else it is great!! I feel motivated to put some of the advice of the author into practice. 😊

La narration est horriblement monotone
Le contenu est intéressant, mais le narrateur est horriblement monotone et platonique, il est vraiment difficile de suivre le fil des idées tant la voix du lecteur donne envie de dormir, c'est vraiment dommage. Je regrette mon achat.

Rien de nouveau mais intéressant
Des conseils simples et déjà entendu 1000 fois mais agrémentés d'exemples intéressants.
La lecture est correcte mais les résumés trop fréquents à mon goût, ce qui crée de nombreuses répétitions (en plus des "on parlera plus tard" présent au dans les premiers chapitres).
L'auteur est honnête sur les limitations des méthodes expliquées et n'essaye pas d'endoctriner l'auditeur.

Very good book on habits
It may not be rocket science, but it gets the job very well done. It provides you with logical arguments and solutions. Very methodical and easy to apply in order to change your life for the better.

The power of #habits
In this book, the author shows that becoming and epic performer relies less on an innate hability of doing things better than others. instead, if one can identify a field in which they are ready to invest time energy and all, they will become so good that they can't be ignored. the secret of it all relies on sticking to the right habits and building them over time and also getting rid of the wrong ones.

Interessante
Spunti pratici, stimolante.
Fa venire voglia di migliorarsi.
Alle volte forse un pochino semplicistico, ma vale comunque la pena.

Great read
Really helpful but it would be better to read the physical book so you can make notes.
