Atomic Habits

Introduction

A habit is a routine or behavior that is performed regularly, And in many cases automatically

Quality of our lives often depends on the quality of our habits, With same habits, you will end up with the same result But with better habits, anything is possible

A long Series of small wins and tiny breakthroughs. The only way I made progress,— the only choice I had —was to start small

Four-Step model of habits —cue, craving response and reward— and the four laws of behavior change that evolve out of these steps

The framework that I offer is an integrated model of the cognitive and behavioral sciences

Human behavior is always changing: situation to situation, moment to moment, second to second. But this book is about what doesn’t change. it’s about the fundamental of human behavior

The Fundamentals

The Surprising Power of Atomic Habits

It is so easy to overestimate the importance of one defining moment and underestimate the value of making small improvements on a daily basis

We convince ourselves that massive success requires massive action

if you can get 1 present better each day for one year, you’ll end up thirty-seven times better by the time you’re done

if you get 1 present worse each day for one year, you’ll decline nearly down to zero

What starts as a small or minor setback accumulates into something much more

Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement

The effects of your habits multiply as you repeat them

They seem to make little difference on a any given day and yet the impact they deliver over the months and years can be enormous

We make a few changes, but the results never seem to come quickly and so we slide back into our previous routines

The slow pace of transformation also makes it easy to let a bad habit slide

Success is the product of daily habits —not once-in-a-lifetime transformations
