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).

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.
If you are looking to form a new habit you have to read this Book.
I have never commented online on any of the books that I have read but this one deserves a lot of appreciation.
This one is for you James, in future if you ever read this comment I want to tell you that your work has hugely impacted my life. And I express my huge gratitude towards your work on Atomic Habits and the articles you post. Thank a lot for this :)

Must read book | Measure your growth
Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 13 September 2019Verified Purchase
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.

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 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.

This book is just fantastic!! I am a reader of self development books especially, so I basicly study in details the books that I read, but this book I couldn't stop using my hilighters:) It seems like every idea that I read is important and I want to retain it. Amazing, fantastic, awesome, deserved to be read and kept, even in a decluttered house!! And as a conclusion, I already sstart to see improvements in my behaviours because I start to understand the psychology underneath.
