Atomic Habits by James Clear: Book Summary

Atomic_Habits_Summary

Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones

by James Clear


About

Atomic Habits by James Clear is packed with powerful and practical advice on how to form good habits and break bad ones. In the book, Clear outlines the latest findings from various fields—including psychology, biology, and neuroscience—to create a simple and effective how-to guide for making good habits possible. “Habits are the compound interest of self improvement…” Prepare to yield massive returns.

Here’s What You Will Learn About In This Summary:

  • How to create good habits and eliminate bad ones
  • How to get motivated
  • How to design your environment for success and growth

Crucial quotes

”This is the meaning of the phrase atomic habits—a regular practice or routine that is not only small and easy to do but also the source of incredible power; a component of the system of compound growth.”

“Goals are good for setting a direction, but systems are best for making progress.”

“When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow, it will split in two, and I know it was not that last blow that did it—but all that had gone before.”

Tweetable summary

Tiny persistent steps over time will breed powerful results. Forget the goal, focus on the process, make high-level changes.
