Review - Atomic Habits
I can’t believe I hadn’t heard of this book before! I’m talking about Atomic Habits by James Clear.
I guess I don’t haunt the self-help subject as much as I did years ago when I had so many things about myself that I wanted to improve. Not that I’m perfect now, but I know what it takes to be “happy” and productive and successful.
I still read self-help books to reinforce what I know and to see if they’re books I’d recommend to others especially to the readers of SlingWords.
That’s where this book comes in. It’s about the ideas I’ve been sharing in my 25 for 2025 Updates.
One of the first axioms I learned as a child was something Benjamin Franklin said: “In the beginning man makes the habits, and in the end, the habits make the man.”
That is so utterly true. We are all the product of our habits. If we’re unhealthy it’s probably because we have unhealthy habits like failure to move our bodies and a diet of unhealthy food.
I venture to say you could look at any part of your life that you feel is out of balance and come up with reasons why it’s that way. Chances are those reasons are the habitual way of doing things either by acting or not acting.
In his book, Clear asserts that the reason one can’t change a bad habit into a good one is that a system for doing that hasn’t been learned. The book is a daily “take action” process that teaches the reader how to make time for a new habit despite what’s going on in your life, how to overcome a lack of motivation and/or willpower, how to set up your environment to make success easier, and how to get back on track if you fall off the wagon.
TAKEAWAY TRUTH
Atomic Habits can be a game changer for you. Check it out at the library, find it at a used bookstore, or order it from Amazon which offers it in Kindle or in new and used print editions. In fact, as I write this, the hardcover edition is on sale for $14.85.
