  • Useful, practical, worthwhile read!

    As I've mentioned in previous reviews of self-help books that I've read, I'm always a bit weary when I pick one of these books up because they can be a real "hit or miss" for me in terms of reading experience. I would consider myself "picky" about books in general (mostly because I have a problem abandoning a book once I start it), but even more so when it comes to non-fiction reads, which for me in particular, requires extra effort and concentration.

    With this mindset, I went into James Clear's popular self-help book Atomic Habits not really expecting to get too much out of it – which is why I'm pleasantly surprised at how much I ended up enjoying this one. Of course, as is the case with many self-help books, the concepts that Clear talks about in his book aren't brand new (I'm sure there are dozens of books out there covering the same topic) and in all honesty, there was nothing particularly mind-blowing about the content itself. Having said that, what made this book stand out for me was its simple, easy-to-understand format – basically, Clear took what can be a complicated topic and broke it down in a way that was clear, insightful, and practical. As I was reading, I didn't feel like I had to jump through hoops in order to grasp the concepts or that I had to think too deeply on how to meaningfully apply the ideas to my daily life. In fact, I already started applying some of it and, seeing the results, am motivated to continue. I also really liked the structure of the book, with nice short chapters as well as relevant charts and tools interspersed at the right moments. I also found the summary at the end of each chapter – which listed out main "takeaways" from the chapter in simple bullet points – extremely useful in terms of helping to remember the important points in each section.

    In a way, I guess this is one of those instances of reading "the right book at the right time". Given how chaotic the end of the year usually is for me (both at home and at work), finding the time to read at all can be challenging, so it definitely helps to read a book that I can easily get through and parse, for one, and two, can be readily applied to situations I'm working through currently.

    While quite a few aspects of this book definitely resonated with me, especially in this moment of my life, I'm sure it will be different for others, so I would say keep that in mind when deciding whether to pick this one up or not. I found this book to be a worthwhile read, of course, but even if it doesn't particularly resonate with others, I feel like there are some insights that can be helpful.

  • Actually gives step by step instructions on how to break or create habits

    I have read a ton of books on habits and how to be more productive. This is hands-down, the best book I’ve come across so far. I bought copies to give to my kids…methods are easy to understand and can be utilized for any purpose from personal life to career. My favorite is the “two minute rule” Highly recommend.

  • Try The Ideas, they work!

    I'm a self-help book author, and junkie because my primary identity is "change-agent": I'm a social worker and therapist. People arrive at the office with self-doubt, a sense of failure, because their list of faults is too big. Their efforts to change are heroic failures most of the time. James has a message of encouragement: start small and be consistent. He offers dozens of "hacks" to make it possible, even easy and fun. Never give up, start small, be a daily 1 minute exerciser/meditator/artist and it will grow. https://www.amazon.com/author/cynthiawall

    • EXCELLENT BOOK!

      There are SO MANY great ideas in this book! I listened to it on audible, but had to buy a paper copy to highlight and refer to. It is useful in SO MANY applications!!! Used it for a book club (all those that read it loved it), and shared ideas from it with a young church group (7 - 10 year old girls), and also to a group of kids who are going to age out of the foster care system. This is a book I will NOT declutter.

    • Mostly flugg

      Follows a similar formula to most books: about 3p pages of useful info, and a bunch of boring, drawn-out anecdotes and filler. This book is great is you want a mediocre book that states the obvious over and over, and reads like it was written by a high schooler. Dont waste your money.

    • Best for those new to habit formation

      I recently read Atomic Habits, and while I had high hopes for the book, it fell a bit short of my expectations. While it does provide some useful tips and strategies for developing and changing habits, I found that it didn't offer as many groundbreaking insights as I had anticipated. The concepts presented were often familiar, and I was hoping for more depth and originality in the content. However, I must acknowledge that the book is well-organized and offers practical advice for those new to habit formation, making it a decent starting point for someone looking to improve their habits.

    • Took action immediately! LOVE THIS, Thank you!!!!

      If you're trying to change your life, it starts from changing who you are. Honestly if I can give it 10 out of 5 stars, I would. Book came in perfect condition (rare for Amazon books tbh). I decided to get this book because so many leaders / influential people recommended it, and boy they were right! The moment I read this, I immediately took action - that's how powerful it is! If you don't want to live a mediocre life, but a fulfilling one, please invest in this book, DO IT!! Starts with YOU!

    • Great Idea, Great Practice, Could Be Told In 100 Pages

      Atomic Habits by James Clear delivers an important and powerful message. I did find the book insightful as to his method of self betterment and I can see that being very effective in dealing with overwhelming self improvement. The book does lay out almost like a game plan as to how to conquer problematic attributes of your character through powerful habits. This is found streamlined and helpful.

      However, I believe that the message was quite repetitive while not adding anything to the message each time it was repeated. It just felt drawn out by the time I got two thirds through the book.

      If you need help forming habits to better your life, this is a good start to do so. Sadly, the book was kind of long winded with no satisfying conclusion.

    • Game Changing

      I'm an Executive Coach and thought I knew quite a bit about human behavior. However, Mr. Clear does a masterful job in breaking down how our systems drive our success not just setting goals. Also, his value added insights into the Four Laws of Behavior Change are just brilliant. I believe this is a must read for anyone on their journey through life who want to make a difference and to create positive change, for themselves and others.

      Although I listened with interest as my cousin told me about Atomic Habits, I didn’t read it until about weeks after our conversation. While browsing through the aisles of a local Books-A- Million one afternoon, I spied the book, pulled it from the shelf, and began rifling through the pages. It didn’t take long to realize that I needed a copy of my own. The terminology (implementation intention, habit stacking, and accountability partner, etc.) were right up my alley. I spotted Edward Thorndike’s name, some information about genetic components, and Csikszentmihalyi’s concept of flow and walked to the counter to buy the book.

      On the way home, I perused the contents and was pleased to see a concept I’d heard about at church a few weeks earlier—the aggregation of marginal gains. Buy the book and read more about it in the first chapter. For now, I’ll just say that’s how Dave Brailsford transformed the British Cycling team into a team of world champions. Small improvements produced remarkable results, and I believe James Clear’s advice can work for me/you/us, too.

      The case for building atomic habits and breaking bad ones was well-presented in this research-based volume. And it’s for everyone who wants to improve in any area of life, not just athletes going for the gold. We just need to make the habit-making process obvious, attractive, easy, and satisfying.

      There's plenty of detailed reviews. I don't like reading and you may not either. Get this book and change your life, if only a little bit. Even the audiobook, or a youtube summary. I promise, it can make your life at least 1% better, and what more can you ask for from a book, particularly a non-fiction one?
