Atomic Habits Part 1 audiobook

Habits are small, everyday behaviors that we perform automatically, with little or no thought. Habits are also powerful. We are what we do every day. In this way, habits form our identity. So, when repeated daily, even the smallest actions have a considerable effect. That said, positive change requires patience. But you can be confident that good habits keep you on the right trajectory, even if you don’t see results right away. Making significant changes in your life through habits doesn’t require significant upheaval. Tiny changes to your behavior are often enough to lead to the desired results. James Clear argues that big goals shouldn’t be your main focus in life. Instead, you should be utilizing frequent, repetitive actions and systems to help develop habits that stick. The significant changes you want to make in your life depend more on creating small habits than sizable shifts. For example, suppose you want to get in shape. In that case, your best bet is eating slightly better, exercising regularly, and getting enough sleep. Instead of wasting your time setting unachievable goals with drastic changes, all you have to do is make one minor change daily. This theme runs throughout Atomic Habits. The quality of your life depends on the quality of your habits. Some habits are small like an atom. As these atomic habits accumulate, they can make a significant impact in your life.Habits are built through conditioning. In effect, we tend to repeat satisfying behaviors until they become automatic. For example, when you were a baby, you would have sucked your thumb to calm yourself. This calming feeling was the satisfying consequence that encouraged you to repeat the behavior. This is why bad habits can be so hard to break and replace with good habits. Fortunately, you can also use conditioning to help build good habits. As adults, we can engage with habits like going on a morning run because we get an endorphin buzz and feel more productive. We fail to create good habits because humans tend to convince themselves that massive success requires massive action. It is easy to underestimate the value of making minor improvements, like going on a morning run each day. But the benefits will accumulate since the habit is repeated daily. Clear shows us why incremental changes can have a big impact. He explains that 1% of personal improvement each day means you’ll be 37 times better by the same time next year. Here’s the math: 1.01 to the power of 365 days is 37.78 (in other words, 37 times better). That’s how small, everyday improvements become atomic habits that help you reach your goals. The downside is that bad habits can function this way too. Clear shows how getting 1% worse each day results in terrible outcomes over the course of a year, as 0.99 to the power of 365 is 0.03 (near 0). 1 An Easy and Proven Way to Build Good Habits and Break Bad Ones 2 James Clear’s Perspective 3 Introduction 4 The Fundamentals – Why Tiny Changes Make a Big Difference 4.1 What Are Habits? 4.2 Why Is It Hard to Build Good Habits? 4.2.1 Conditioning 4.2.2 Minor Improvements 4.2.3 Compound Interest 4.3 Forget About Goals, Concentrate on Systems 4.4 Habit Loops 5 1st Law – Make It Obvious 5.1 How to Form Good Habits 5.2 How to Keep Your Habits on Track 5.2.1 Option 1: Habit Tracker 5.2.2 Option 2: Contract 6 2nd Law – Make It Attractive 7 3rd Law – Make It Easy 8 4th Law – Make It Satisfying 9 Advanced Tactics 9.1 The Three Layers of Behavior Change 10 Final Review, Analysis, and Criticism of Atomic Habits 11 Rating 12 PDF, Free Audiobook, Infographic and Animated Summary of Atomic Habits 13 Atomic Habits Book Mindmap 14 Related Free Book Summaries ######################## The 5 AM Club by Robin Sharma The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy Tiny Habits by BJ Fogg Millionaire Success Habits by Dean Graziosi 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do by Amy Morin Make Your Bed by Admiral William H.
