Appreciated the quick summary on this book. Hits the highlights. I definitely got the feel and the main points of the book.

There are some well-researched highlights from the book. For example, how if two people have the same goal, the one who will reach it more often (or in a more efficient or effective manner) is the one who has a process or a system. The author also does a good job of listing and then explaining more complex topics. For example: "The steps to breaking a habit are inversions of the four laws." Then he goes onto explain briefly what the four laws are. A quote often attributed to Winston Churchill goes something like, "I'm sorry for writing such a long speech but I didn't have time to write a shorter one." I don't know the standards for these summary books, but if this is almost 100 pages and the original is 300+, then we're only about a third of the original book. Sure, 100 pages take less time than 300. That said, it is well organized and a fairly easy read and did entice me to read the full original book, which, I suppose is often the aim of these summary books.

Love that this summary hits all the highlights, but I am sure one would need to read the book for the full benefit. This is well written and a fairly quick read. It really got me curious as to how I can rebuild my "system" and keep those annoying habits at bay.

A straightforward enough summary of how you can change small things in your life to develop a lot of habits. The summary kept many of the studies in and simply described the study, what happened, and what it means for habits. While anyone with a background in psychology and have read The Power of Habit will know at least 80% of this information already, it’s a good book on what to change and why it will help.

I am usually not one to even bother reading these kinds of books, as I often feel like I had to plow through hundreds of useless prose and ideas to find one or two nuggets that actually speak to me. This book? I'd say nearly ALL of the advice seemed practical, whether it spoke to me or not, and a good deal of it seemed like something I could use and implement if I actually tried to do it. A worthy read and recommended.

A great book is one that changes you -- helps you understand a great truth that was hiding in plain sight, and helps you use that insight to improve your life. "Atomic Habits" is such a book. Thanks to James Clear, I've shifted from pursuing goals to creating new habits that are helping me become the kind of person I want to be. There's no fat in this book -- every chapter is a diamond-hard gem of insight.

This book is one of the best books I've read on the subject of habits, an area which spikes my interest. I've done my share of research when it comes to automatic behaviour: this book sums it all up in once easy and enjoyable read. I definitely recommend it!

Similar to his articles, Clear’s writing is easy to digest and engaging. His examples are simple and translatable to your daily life, making it easy to connect the dots on how to improve your routine and habits. Atomic Habits is both practical and insightful – you’ll realize how to make an immediate, and lasting, impact on your life.

Fantastic book. I've finished it and I'm grateful I purchased the physical book over the Kindle because this is a manual that I will go back and consult frequently. I can open it to any chapter and refresh my outlook and methods in some specific area of my life. I've been on a journey of constant and never-ending improvement for a while and Atomic Habits has given me golden nuggets for how to create systems rather than goals. Now I understand why some goals I set happen and some just don't, my desire for them was equal but my systems were not.

It was a life changer summary for me. Really happy with this purchase.
