I usually tend to start a book and don’t finish it because I get bored easily. With this book it took me only one week to finish because it was that good. It is very practical, easy to read and apply. I don’t want to promise anything but this book was one of the best self-help/ self-development books I have ever read. Atomic habits shows how effective it can be to focus on the small habits to improve your whole life. James Clear concentrated on developing a book that goes deep into every step of habit building from a realistic perspective. He believes that these little daily rituals have a huge impact on who we are and what we can accomplish. “ Changes that seem small and unimportant at first will compound into remarkable results if you’re willing to stick with them for years. We all deal with setbacks but in the long run, the quality of our lives often depends on the quality of our habits” This quote of the book summaries it pretty well in my opinion. Not only does he show how important it is to develop those small habits and to know how impactful they are, he also explains how to eliminate the bad ones and how to stick to the good ones. One of the best takeaways is that I have to understand what my trigger is, then what my demand is, how my reaction has to be and what my reward should be. Make it obvious Make it attractive Make it easy Make it satisfying This process should be as simple as possible to get results und to change those habits. What I like about the book is that James Clear suggests to not consider habits as goals or outcomes but as an identity. It is about how you can become your dreams by challenging yourself every day with those small little habits. My personal top takeaways are: Forget about the goals and focus on the system. You have to understand and perfect the system to see change. Change your identity to change your habits. Maybe fake it till you make it is not a bad start. Instead of concentrating on things like what you want to achieve and how you want to get there, focus first on who you want to become if you want to make true change. “Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become” Winners and losers have the same goals. Whatever we succeed or fail has nothing to do with the goals but on the system. How profound is the quality of the system? What I also liked about the book are the summaries for each chapter. The formulas and diagrams during the chapter make it more understandable an the “How to create a good habit” guide that gets repeated and filled in after each law is explained. In my opinion you should definitely get a copy and read the book for yourself. This book is definitely for you if you are having trouble managing your habits. Enjoy reading!
