Why you need to adopt habits submitted by zixyxuan on July 27, 2019, 3:21pm Even though I really enjoyed the message from this book, I personally feel like it's very similar to a lot of other productivity books out there. The author provides a good variety of anecdotes and stories to back his findings, but I feel like this book is better for promoting WHY people need to adopt habit rather than provide insightful methods of breaking/learning habits for life improvement. Still, this is a solid read if you are beginning to look for aspects to change in your life.

Overall rating 3.25 / 5 Stars

Very focused on helping you take action. Very relatable and inspiring.

Motivating and Unique submitted by reaganmalcolm on June 24, 2020, 11:30pm Although there are many books out there that tell you to adopt good habits, this is the rare book that illustrates the power of a small change over time. The examples used have stuck with me, particularly the British cycling team's powerhouse changeover. A great read for anyone.

very helpful submitted by blancharddana on July 16, 2021, 3:26pm The author does a great job illustrating the importance of habits, their impact on our lives, and how to change and build new habits!

Atomic Habits submitted by pbarr on May 28, 2022, 7:49am Haven't finished the book yet, but it already changed my life.
I've been a nail biter all my life, but for the last 6 months I've stopped after the book made me realize that that's not the kind of person I want to be. The process of getting there is a bit more complex, but this book was a big part of creating permanent change. THERE'S HOPE. HABITS CAN BE CHANGED!

Building On "Tiny Habits" submitted by BookNerd on June 28, 2022, 8:06am Using the foundations built by B J Fogg's 20 years of research and Fogg's 2019 book "Tiny Habits", Clear writes in clear and engaging prose about making the tiniest possible change in your daily structure that will create the behavioral changes you'd like to make in your life.

Minimal behavior adjustments tied to existing routines lead to large and lasting shifts. Clear gives step-by-step instructions and simple examples to help you craft your own 'new you'.

Excellent book! submitted by lizgiessner on August 27, 2023, 5:29pm I agree with most of what's been said. I'll just add what an enjoyable read it was while I was on vacation. There were lots of things that were great to share and discuss with my co-vacationers!

Great Book! submitted by melissa4b on July 7, 2024, 10:38am I listened to the audiobook of this book. I still reference the material in this book. Great book for motivation.

Viral Motivation submitted by Oksana on July 13, 2024, 12:28pm This book has a big hype and has gone viral on social midia, and i though that it was so overated, but it is actually really good for motivation and helpfull.

Worth the read-- actionable steps! submitted by rahasudha on August 8, 2024, 1:26pm Organized well and easy to read. Actionable strategies without being too preachy or judgy of where might be at now vs where they want to be. Examples of success stories without it being just a book full of anecdotes. James Clear is really good at articulating a wealth of information about the psychology of habit formation. I love the summary tables of how to build or break a habit. You can pop in and out of any section pretty easily.
