Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones by James Clear
5.0
Really enjoyed this one and it has some helpful resources for people looking to build a habit or break one.
Here are my notable quotes:
Good habits make time your ally- bad habits make time your enemy.
You do not rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems.
Outcomes are about what you get. Processes are about what you do. Identity is about what you believe.
The goal is not to run a marathon, the goal is to become a runner.
Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.
Obvious easy attractive satisfying
Atomic habits scorecard
Implementation intention - “I will ___ at ___ in.”
I will meditate at 1 pm in my kitchen.
There is more circuitry in our brains for wanting than there is for liking
Temptation bundling- pairing what you need to do with what you want to do (example: the Netflix bike)
We imitate the behaviors of the close the many and the powerful
The reward of being accepted is sometimes more than the reward of finding truth
Only once we begin to fit in do we desire standing out
Quantity and quality photo groups - best is the enemy of the good
The cost of good habits as in the present. The cost of bad habits in the future.
Genes do not determine your destiny, they determine you areas for opportunity.
