Atomic Habits, an incredibly insightful and practical guide to building good habits and breaking bad ones. The author's writing style is engaging and accessible, and he uses real-world examples and anecdotes to illustrate his points. What I appreciated most about the book is that it offers a step-by-step framework for creating lasting change in your life, starting with small, manageable habits that add up over time. Clear breaks down the science of habit formation in a way that is easy to understand, and he provides actionable tips and strategies for implementing these principles in your own life. I also appreciated the emphasis on self-awareness and the importance of focusing on your identity, rather than just your goals. Overall, I found 'Atomic Habits' to be a valuable and practical guide to creating positive change in my life, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their habits and achieve their goals.
Highly recommend this book for everyone!

This book called me many years ago, but never felt was the right moment. Then lately I have decided to purchase it and dig deeper into it.
It is an amazing insights about human habits with a lot of psychological references and very easy to read.
I didn’t finish it yet, but definitely one of my favourite books so far!

For some people, like me, most of what being said in the book is known, but it goes beyond explaining and uses examples, so far I’m at page 50 and I’m loving everything I read and can relate to some (which I believe a lot of people will too) besides the dent I received with the book everything is great (dent under the book from packaging probably, thankfully doesn’t affect what’s inside the book itself).

Solid Skimmer
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on 1 August 2020Verified Purchase
This is a solid skimmer. Just another supposed groundbreaking self-help book from some guy who has been declared an expert by repeating well known ideas to a corporate audience and can effectively write for the masses at a sixth grade level. This book is a pseudo-intellectual approach to the well known. These are all ideas that I have heard expressed better elsewhere and there isn't a single unique idea in the book. It's a book by a guy with a silver tongue, mediocre research skills, and who found a publisher with a good copy editor. It wouldn't be so cringey to read if he didn't refer to concepts as "Laws" which they are not, and proper noun "Principles" which is also barely true. Talk about self aggrandizing.
There is a lot of repetition here as well. This whole book could have been written in 75 pages.
There's nothing wrong with buying this book if you think it will help but I recommend reading the first couple of chapters and then reading chapter summaries to determine if you already know the content. Then you can dive in on anything that is new to you. I spent about an hour going cover to cover. See if you can get it used or at the Library or something. It's not worth spending more than a few bucks on.

Verbose Unoriginal Refurbished Content
Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on 4 January 2021Verified Purchase
A marketing masterpiece.
With all due respect to author's team exceptional ability to better market & monetize original authors' ideas, my two cents is that this is, at its best, a two-page worth of original content which is bulked into an unnecessarily verbose & repetitive three-hundred-something pages book that was mostly a waste of time.
The literature not only targets the average Joe out there, but also repeats itself constantly. Constantly. Constantly. Constantly. Constantly. Constantly. Constantly. Constantly. Constantly. Constantly. And I mean, cons-tant-ly! (I wish this review becomes as successful!)
So, to give you the tldr you'd need and save you the trouble:
The author reads the Duhig's "power of habit" and Eyal's "hooked" books and starts summerizing "his framework" upon those original ideas. As he mentions himself:
"Charles Duhigg and Nir Eyal deserve special recognition for their influence on this image. This representation of the habit loop is a combination of language that was popularized by Duhigg’s book, The Power of Habit, and a design that was popularized by Eyal’s book, Hooked."
Here's the original content and the framework he proposes:
For good habits:
- Make it obvious (cue)
- Make it attractive (craving)
- Make it easy (response)
- Make it satisfying (reward)
Do the opposite for the bad ones. And he calls it "The Four Laws of Behavior Change". And the rest is considerable loads of examples and repeatitions. Yup. Millions of sales. Magic.
Yup, it's totally fine to expand & build upon others' ideas. It's how human knowledge grows. But come on, it's just 4 sentences. Ok, add one paragraph explanation per each, one example per each and then one page conclusion and that'd be a nice blog post I'd enjoy.

I have been chasing to build many habits and experimenting with them a lot but I would always find a bit difficult to stay with my changed behavior and then while browsing on internet studying more on habits formation I stumbled on James's articles and boy this guy has the answer for habit formation.

A good, practical book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 18 October 2022Verified Purchase
The "Atomic Habits" has become almost a constant presence in the best seller's books, both sides of the Atlantic - including an astonishing 150 weeks in the prestigious New York Times Best Seller List. Still recently published (in 2018) the book comes now with a small red note on the cover: "Over three million copies sold!" Is that all deserved? Is it such a good book?
No, if you think of the many books published in the last four years that do deserve more copies sold or to stay in the NYT Best Seller List longer than this one - I could name a few far better books published only one or two months back. But reflections on the market and quality and best-selling charts and sales apart, this is a good book, well written, non-academical, simple, practical and that has managed to find a niche of readers in these hectic, social-media-crazy days and that has touched an obvious nerve. In this field, it's a good book that deserves praise - and to be read.
One of its many merits, as I mentioned above, is that's very practical - it has good and ready examples of ways to improve efficiency and work; and in the way, to feel better. The author has also an obvious talent for expressing abstract notions with just a few words. His main theory, the "cue-craving-response-reward", while not life-changing is at the very least intriguing and looks easy to put in place and to be used as a blueprint for daily routines. The author tries and manages to get to his audience through simplicity - "I knew it, but I never knew how to describe it" is what the reader will say often throughout the text. In this sense is quite similar to another best seller of the self-help milieu: Dr Julie Smith's "Why has nobody told me this before", a far better, deeper book that manages also to reach and help its readers quite effortlessly, and that also has managed to sell in vast amounts. And, to complete the triad of current worthy self-help books, do try also "Can't Hurt Me", by David Goggings, rather different in tone, but very good too, and also funnier. (I've reviewed these two books in this platform).
On the minus side, perhaps the text tries sometimes too hard in being too easy and becomes too basic, almost to the point of looking patronizing. For instance, with the advice on how to use less a mobile phone: by putting it in the next room. The book falls a few times for examples of this sort, too over-simplistic, as if it was addressing an audience of 7 to 12 years old.
Also a flaw, and this one is directed to the publisher, it is obvious the effort in trying to present the book as much larger than it actually is. The book is crowded with charts, blank pages, short bullet points, sentences taking a whole page, etc. It has 270 pages and without all those wasted spaces it should have been 70 or 100 pages less, but then it would look "short", something the publisher obviously tried to avoid (it happens a lot nowadays), as if a book is better for being thicker or longer.
So all and all, a good book that's far from life-changing, but in which everyone will find a few practical tips for everyday life; nothing more, but nothing less than that.

Before starting this book, write down some good habits you want to build and some bad habits you want to break. This book is filled with practical steps and examples. Yes, there are plenty of habit-building books out there (just as there are plenty of diet books but yet there are still more new books published every year). Plenty of people are seeking the right book that resonates with them. The key points in this book are:
* Compound Effect - Very small changes over time will have a big impact.
* Habit Building Techniques - Make good habits into routines; use positive reinforcements and other techniques outlined in the book.
* Monitor and Measure - Keep track of your progress and improvements.
