If you have trouble changing your habits, it is not you that have the problem. That's the problem with your system.

Here, he leverages the most proven ideas from biology , psychology, and neuroscience to create an easy-to - understand guide to make good habits inevitable and unwelcome. Along the way, listeners will be inspired and entertained by the true stories of medalists from Olympic gold, award-winning artists, business leaders, life-saving physicists and star comedians who have used the science of small habits to master their craft and vault to the top of their field.

Book Review:

For two reasons, changing our habits is challenging: (1) we are trying to change the wrong thing and (2) we are trying to change our habits in the wrong way.

The most surprising insight regarding habits is that we don't need to be aware of the cue to trigger the habit.

There are no good or bad customs but only effective customs.

Habit Stacking: A Simple Technique for Revamping Your Habits One of the best ways to build a new habit is to identify a habit that you already do every day and then stack a new action over it.

It is not a wise choice if you want to perform a habit every day but stack it on a habit that only happens on Mondays.

At first, the signs that cause a habit can be very clear, but over time, habits are correlated with the entire environment that supports the behaviour.

Associating a new habit with a new meaning is better than creating a new habit in the face of opposing clues.

This is the secret to self-control: making the good habits related signs evident and the bad habits related signs invisible.

After doing [HABIT THAT I MUST DO], I'll do [HABIT THAT I WANT TO DO] It's a complex task to design a truly irresistible habit, but this simple strategy can be used to make every habit more attractive than it would otherwise.

Reprogramming your habits to highlight their advantages rather than their disadvantages is a quick and easy way to reprogram your brain and make it more attractive to get used.

And the most effective way of repeating this habit is to respect the 3rd Law of Change in Behaviour: make it easier.

Sometimes success is less about facilitating good habits than hampering bad habits.

A tracker of habits is a simple way to measure whether you have adopted a habit.

No matter how you measure your progress, tracking your habits is a simple way to make your habits more satisfying.

And creating a habit contract will be the way to add an immediate cost to a habit.

A contract habit is a formal or written document under which you specify your allegiance to a specific habit and the punishment that you would enforce should you disobey it.

James Clear puts forward a detailed strategy for changing our habits that revolves around the 4 Laws of Behavior Change that are meant to make the habit: indeed, after reading Atomic Habits, I realized how much our habits were related to our environment and that it was enough to change it or even "restructure" it to achieve our objectives.

Atomic Habits has changed my way of looking at my life and my coaching.

Atomic Habits isn't the first book I've read about habits.

"Atomic Habits" will enable you to take stock of your current habits and in particular will give you the keys to get rid of your bad habits and build new ones while devoting a minimum amount of time a day.

I recommend Atomic Habits to get to the point and follow a clear and effective method if you have the impression of drowning in all the information available online for setting up new habits and you have tested all methods.

Atomic Habits will help you take a fresh look at your everyday life by showing you that your life is about your habits.
