Atomic Habits, by James Clear

Tiny changes can build toward remarkable results.

No matter your goals, Atomic Habits will offer a proven framework for making incremental improvement every day. James Clear, one of the world's leading experts on habit formation, teaches practical strategies that will show you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results.

If you're struggling to change your habits, the problem isn't you. The problem is your system. Bad habits have a way of repeating, not because you won't change, but because you have the wrong system for change. You don't rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems. Here, you'll gain a proven system that can take you to new heights.

Clear is known for his skill to break down complex topics into simple behaviors that can easily be 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, readers will be inspired 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.

Atomic Habits will change the way you think about progress and success, and give you the tools and strategies you need to transform your habits. Whether you are hoping to win a championship with your team, or you hope to redefine an industry with your organization, or lose weight, reduce stress, or accomplish any other goal, this book will help you find a way to make it happen.
