Atomic Habits by James Clear
Hi, my name is Rya. I am a sophomore and I enjoy reading, swimming and traveling.
When he was a senior in high school, James Clear suffered a severe injury while playing baseball, which affected him for many years. In order to overcome this setback, he began implementing simple habits into his daily life and began to discover their power. Now, James Clear is an incredibly well-respected author, speaker, and overall expert on self-improvement and the power of habits. In his #1 New York Times Bestseller Atomic Habits, Clear compiles all of his knowledge and research into a simple, realistic, and easy way to improve one’s life simply by utilizing the power of habits.
All of the advice in this book is backed by scientific research in neuroscience, biology, and psychology. It is filled with easily implementable systems, with the most important points nicely organized in a grid at the end of each chapter. It is packed with hundreds of helpful little tips and enlightening quotes. Essentially, Atomic Habits is a step-by-step guide to creating major change in one’s life, with stress on the underlying idea that “success is the product of daily habits, not once-in-a-lifetime transformation.”
I highly recommend Atomic Habits as the ultimate guide to creating change of any sort in your life. The science, systems, and tips in this book are applicable to any goal- everything from the desire to eat a more balanced diet or reduce screen time to the dream of building a business or learning a new language.
