Atomic Habits

James Clear

9/10

Finished Dec 15, 2024

My takeaway

Changed how I think about building good habits. Small changes compound.

Notes & highlights

  • Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement. Getting 1% better every day counts for a lot in the long-run.
  • You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.
  • Every action is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.
  • The most effective way to change your habits is to focus not on what you want to achieve, but on who you wish to become.
  • Make it obvious, make it attractive, make it easy, make it satisfying.
