Atomic Habits: the life-changing million-copy #1 bestseller

Product Information

The only way to become excellent is to become endlessly fascinated with doing the same thing over and over.

We're all lazy creatures at our core, but some of us are better at streamlining things we don't like to do to make them easier to accomplish. The only reason that I initially picked up this book was that someone was RAVING about it, and I was extremely skeptical. I have been listening to it for about 7-8 years now and it’s truly one of the only things that will calm me down and slow my racing mind.Read the full summary to glean 3 key lessons from Atomic Habits, learn how to build a habit in 4 simple steps, and get a handy reference guide for the strategies recommended throughout the book. At the end of the day, who we are and what we will achieve depends so much on these small habits that we do every day. However, in most of those cases, they failed to sustain the new habits they initially adopted and years later it's like they never read the book.

What the author is trying to tell here is that it is not the long and dedicated hard work throughout the day that is useful, it’s the small habit that a person does every day for a small period of time. Those types of habits don't necessarily get any sort of flashy results right away but you'll be more likely to keep the results that you do get. This book is especially grating as it's filled with cute little platitudes like "the same boiling water will soften a potato and harden an egg".This leads me to the extroverts that might face massive deficits in this regard, as they have the unfortunate tendency to spent much unproductive time with other people, leading to excessive, exponentially growth of sympathy, friendship, contact, dangerous pheromones, endorphins, territorial alpha behavior,… manipulating logical thinking, in the worst case not just resulting in friendships, but love, relationships, and kids bringing the distraction in your home, permanently, reproducing and multiplying it and giving it names, all things that make one ineffective, cost time.
