I just finished 50 straight days of starting each day with pushups and stretching. I used a trick from Atomic Habits to visually reinforce my goal and help the new habit stick.
Each day I moved a penny to the done jar. Nailed it. Didn’t miss a single day.

Atomic Habits by @JamesClear should be required reading for everyone.

I must recommend ATOMIC HABITS. This book is one that is written to be lived rather than just read. The drop of 45 lbs. and 8% body fat doesn’t compare to the internal changes. I have enjoyed the journey more than the results. Hope you have similar blessings. Thnx @JamesClear pic.twitter.com/4anLOO53I1

My wife surprised me by buying me the book Atomic Habits by @JamesClear for Christmas.
I just finished it.
It was easily one of the best, most practical books I’ve ever read. I can’t recommend it enough.
Pick up a copy!

I think our grandchildren will look back at Atomic Habits by @JamesClear the same way we revere How to Win Friends or the 7 Habits.
Instant classic, and relevant for 100+ years.

📖 Quotes from Atomic Habits
“Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your new identity.”
James Clear
“You should be far more concerned with your current trajectory than with your current results.”
James Clear
“You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.”
James Clear
“When you fall in love with the process rather than the product, you don’t have to wait to give yourself permission to be happy. You can be satisfied anytime your system is running.”

⭐ Real Reviews on Atomic Habits
positive review
A great read that will change your life
So many nonfiction books are too full of fluff, too text book-y or just plain too long. Not Atomic Habits. Somehow, James Clear has packed it all in.
Innovative, novel concepts with the proven science of what’s behind them with practical steps for easy implementation and memorable, entertaining stories that bring ideas to life.
I was lucky to get access to the audiobook early, and I devoured it. I’m glad I did. If this book doesn’t change your life in some significant way, I don’t know what will.
critical review
Clear and well structured book
I love how the book is clearly structured, making the principles easily applied to day to day life. However, the book is a little dry. The anecdotes were appealing but not entertaining enough.
