Publisher Description

Tiny Changes, remarkable Results

No matter your goals, Atomic Habits offers a proven framework for improving—every day. James Clear, one of the world’s leading experts on habit formation, reveals practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results.

If you’re having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn’t you. The problem is your system. Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don’t want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change. You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems. Here, you’ll get a proven system that can take you to new heights.

Clear is known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple behaviors that can be easily 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, listeners will be inspired and entertained 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.

Learn how to:

  • Make time for new habits (even when life gets crazy)

  • Overcome a lack of motivation and willpower

  • Design your environment to make success easier

  • Get back on track when you fall off course

  • And much more

Atomic Habits will reshape the way you think about progress and success, and give you the tools and strategies you need to transform your habits, whether you are a team looking to win a championship, an organization hoping to redefine an industry, or simply an individual who wishes to quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, or achieve any other goal.

"This title is a refreshingly comprehensive and accessible guide to transforming your life. The book's core message is simple: by breaking down our goals into tiny habits and rewarding ourselves for small accomplishments, we can gradually create better and healthier long-term behaviors. But what sets this audiobook apart from other self-help books is the depth of its research. Through numerous interviews with successful people, anecdotes from real life scenarios, examples from history, and scientific studies, Clear provides a comprehensive framework that will help anyone make lasting changes in their lives. As one might expect from an experienced speaker like James Clear, the audio version of Atomic Habits really makes it easy to listen to him discuss topics such as habit stacking and motivation loops without feeling overwhelmed or confused. He also uses simple language to explain complex concepts so that everyone can understand them easily. However, the greatest strength of this audiobook is its focus on actionability; throughout the book, Clear stresses the importance of taking action steps towards making meaningful changes in our lives rather than simply talking about them. He does this by providing concrete examples of how successful people have gone about creating success for themselves and then translates these techniques into practical strategies for the listener. This approach helps ensure that listeners are not just passively listening but are actually engaging with the material in an effort to put what they've heard into practice in their own lives. Atomic Habits contains a wealth of information that you can use to improve virtually every aspect of your life from relationships to careers and even health. Additionally, its conversational tone makes it enjoyable to listen to while still maintaining its effectiveness as an educational tool. Whether you're trying to break old habits or build new ones, I highly recommend Atomic Habits with no reservations."

    " I just finished listening to James Clear's Atomic Habits, and it was an enlightening and incredibly enlightening experience. Clear has written a book that is not only easy to digest, but also provides tangible advice on how to form better habits. His approach is simple yet effective, with the focus being on small changes in your daily routines that can have a big impact over time. The main message of the book is that small changes add up over time; if you want to make big changes in your life, start with small, consistent steps every day. He dives into various concepts like habit formation, behavior change, and goal setting, providing practical tips for how we can take action in our lives. One of my favorite aspects of the book was its organized structure; each chapter builds upon the last one and provides a comprehensive overview of habit building from beginning to end. Clear also does an excellent job at explaining how our environment influences our behavior — how we can use external cues to trigger new habits or break existing ones. Throughout the book he includes stories and examples that helped me create successful change in my life. The audiobook version of Atomic Habits is especially helpful as it allows listeners to multitask while learning a valuable skill. I found myself applying Clear's advice during my own morning routine: going for a walk or making plans for the day. It felt like I had someone by my side helping me stay focused and motivated throughout the day. I truly feel that this audiobook is one of the best resources out there for anyone looking to build healthier habits and make lasting positive changes in their life! "
