Summary-

Atomic Habits by James Clear is a bestseller self-help book and trending search for those looking for methods to create better habits, eliminate bad ones, and change their lives with small improvements. Clear says that change does not happen because of drastic action but due to the addition of small, persistent habits over a period of time. The book presents the idea of "atomic habits"—tiny, easy-to-do actions that add up to big outcomes. Clear explains how habits are created through the four-step process of cue, craving, response, and reward, and provides practical strategies for making good habits automatic and bad habits difficult. He presents the concept of "habit stacking" to insert new habits into current routines and stresses the role of environment in shaping behavior. Clear also writes about the strength of identity in habit creation, contending that actual change occurs when we are concerned with who we wish to be instead of merely what we wish to do. With down-to-earth advice and straightforward examples, Atomic Habits teaches readers how small gains can result in astounding long-term results. This book is now a resource that many refer to as the go-to book for making impactful and lasting changes in either professional or personal life.
