About the Reviews

So many nonfiction books are too full of fluff, too text book-y or just plain too long.

Not Atomic Habits.

Somehow, James Clear has packed it all in:

Innovative, novel concepts with the
Proven science of what’s behind them with
Practical steps for easy implementation and
Memorable, entertaining stories that bring the ideas to life.

I was lucky to get access to the audiobook early, and I devoured it. I’m glad I did.

If this book doesn’t change your life in some significant way, I don’t know what will.

*********************************

The most impactful book I've ever read about habits was The Power of Habit....and then Atomic Habits came along. James takes everything I loved about The Power of Habit and expands on it here. The book is chock full of real, practical, and actional advice anyone can take to add more good habits and tweak bad habits over the long term.

I was able to listen to a copy and James is a clear narrator who tells an interesting story. He mixes the perfect blend of science and stories to get the point across and make you feel like creating new habits is not some daunting task only for special people but for anyone. I found myself nodding along as I listened and stopped it at least a dozen times to take notes.

I got at least 4-5 'a-ha' moments about building habits that shattered the conventional wisdom I'd always thought about before. From realizing that I've been approaching will-power the wrong way and the question that I should ask myself next time I want to lose weight or work out.

I've been thinking about Atomic Habits since I finished it and cannot wait to dig into it again. I've been recommending it to everyone.

*********************************

A long time fan of James Clear's supremely researched articles and helpful newsletter, I've been eagerly awaiting this book. It does not disappoint. Clear's thoughtful approach to a topic that could easily be considered boring, is a delight to read. Not only is the advice in the book practical, Clear explains the science and evidence behind the ideas. When reading a book like this, the real test for me is how often I think about it after I've finished the read; that's when I know it's made an impact on my thinking or behavior. I find myself thinking back on Atomic Habits daily; making connections to the material in my own life and work, and making changes accordingly. Must-read.
