Atomic Habits: The Most Important Book About Combatting Boredom You Need to Read
For the last six years, one book has consistently ranked at the top of Amazon’s bestseller charts.
Want to take a guess at which book it is?
If you guessed James Clear’s 2018 bestseller Atomic Habits you’d be correct.
Dubbed “an easy and proven way to build good habits and break bad ones,” Atomic Habits is arguably the most important book you need to read if you want to make measurable change in your life.
In the book, Clear breaks down the science — and psychology — of habits. He helps you understand why you do what you do and how you can reverse engineer your behavior to create better habits.
What makes Clear’s work so compelling is that he focuses on the root force that shapes all habits — your identity. Habits start not with what you do but who you think you are.
This essay will unpack some key points from Atomic Habits. It’ll give you an overview on everything you need to know to build better — more sustainable — habits.
