Michelle’s Review:

Atomic Habits explores that tiny changes, done consistently, create remarkable results through the power of compounding.

Clear shifts focus from goals to systems, using the habit loop—cue, craving, response, reward—to redesign behaviour. He offers the Four Laws: make it obvious, attractive, easy, and satisfying (and invert them to break bad habits).

The kicker: build habits that express your identity (“I’m the kind of person who…”) so change sticks without constant willpower. New helpful patterns of behaviour emerge.

Hands down, one of my favourite books, so much so that my husband and I took it away and studied into over a weekend!
