Atomic habits are the small things we do every day that determine our lifestyle. They are "atomic" because they are small, and seemingly insignificant on their own, but have a big impact on our future success or failure. Clear goes through specific steps how to create positive habits and eliminate negative ones, and argues persuasively that cultivating the right habits is the only way to achieve life goals.
This is the top "self-help" book on our library's Overdrive account right now. The author is a professional blogger and motivational speaker who first learned about habits when he overcame a serious injury to become a pro-baseball player, and then a successful writer. I didn't find the ideas or information in the book particularly original, but the book is well written and reminding me of things I already believed in a motivational way. I am glad books like this exist and are popular. If someone didn't already understand the importance of personal discipline this kind of book could be life changing. (2018, 306 p.)
