In Atomic Habits, James Clear reveals how small, consistent actions can lead to life-changing results. Contrary to the belief that big change requires big effort, Clear shows that success is built through the compound effect of tiny habits—like doing two push-ups or waking up five minutes earlier. Drawing on cutting-edge psychology and neuroscience, he explains powerful techniques like Habit Stacking, the Two-Minute Rule, and the Goldilocks Zone. Through real-life stories of Olympians, CEOs, and scientists, Clear illustrates how these simple strategies foster lasting change. Practical, inspiring, and deeply insightful, this book is a blueprint for transforming your life—one habit at a time.
