A revolutionary guide to using tiny changes in behaviour to transform your life

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Atomic Habits by James Clear is a transformative guide that demonstrates how tiny, incremental changes in behaviour can fundamentally reshape your life. Rather than urging sweeping transformations, Clear advocates for the compound effect of hundreds of small decisions. Whether it’s performing two push-ups a day, waking up five minutes earlier, or making a brief, focused phone call, these minuscule adjustments, which Clear dubs "atomic habits," can produce remarkable outcomes.

This internationally acclaimed bestseller, with over 15 million copies sold worldwide, emphasizes that real change doesn't come from making grand, sweeping moves. Instead, it’s the consistency of tiny, manageable improvements that leads to extraordinary results. Clear illustrates this principle through engaging and inspiring anecdotes, including stories of Olympic gold medallists, top-tier CEOs, and leading scientists, all of whom have leveraged the science of small habits to achieve and sustain success.

Within the pages of this ground-breaking book, Clear introduces a series of simple yet profound life hacks. These include Habit Stacking, where you link new habits to existing routines; the Two Minute Rule, which encourages starting new habits slowly and easily; and the concept of the Goldilocks Zone, identifying the optimal level of difficulty to maintain motivation. Supported by cutting-edge psychology and neuroscience, Clear delves into why these strategies are effective and how they can be applied in practical, everyday scenarios.

Since its release, Atomic Habits has garnered endorsements from notable figures and media outlets. Mark Manson, author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck, praises it as "a supremely practical and useful book." Adam Grant, author of Originals, describes it as "the guide you need to break bad routines and make good ones." The Financial Times adds that Atomic Habits is "a step-by-step manual for changing routines," while Ryan Holiday, author of The Obstacle is the Way, hails it as "a special book that will change how you approach your day and live your life."

Having achieved number one status on the Sunday Times bestseller list in August 2023 and the New York Times bestseller list in April 2024, Atomic Habits has sold over a million copies across all formats according to Nielsen BookScan UK and Circana Bookscan US as of April 2024. It's a must-read that promises to revolutionise your career, relationships, and overall life.
