    1. Don't be a victim of your environment;
    2. The actions you take provide evidence for who you are
    3. The goal is not to read a book, the goal is to become a reader

      It's really about forming an identity. Becoming one with the journey as opposed to solely focusing on the end goal. Definitely a "growth mindset" lifestyle.

    Summary:
    a. Noticing - People think they lack motivation, when in fact they lack clarity.
    b. Wanting - Environment plays a role. Create environment for you to succeed in your goal.
    c. Doing - Optimize for the start line, not finish line.
    d. Liking what you do - We repeat behaviors, because we like them.

      Also, identity change is key.
      Ex: don't say "I'm gonna read lots of books", say "I am a reader". This makes setting goals not seem rigid and it'll make it easier to mold daily habits based on personal preference of certain materials.

    This is by far and I mean by far the best author on habits. Clear and concise. I read his book 12 months ago as couldn’t be motivated to The gym. I am totally transformed by remaining consistent and understanding the 1% rule. Even though you can’t see it happening daily I would normally lose motivation. Just never give up. I continually go back to the book as it is so inspiring for me.

      This theory has been discussed in Bhagwad Geeta A Hindu holy book as "Law of KARMA" where lord Krishna says to Arjuna ( who was indecisive regarding participating in the war against evil as many members of his own family were there in evil group). Krishna says a Mantra "Karmaney wadhikaraste ma faleshu Kadachna..... which says focus on your "karma" means your duty not on the "fal"- the fruits.....which may follow automatically n those are not in the domain of your rights. Such an amazing theory! relevant even today n described in the book "The Atomic habbits" by this author so well.

    I like how he approaches motivation. We often think we need to wait until we're "motivated enough" to move forward in a positive direction. Or wait until fear about taking action dissipates. In reality, doing anything that nudges us in the right direction--no matter how small the act or step--is a way to nurture the growth of more motivation and gain more courage. 5:05 is an awesome quote: "The actions that you take provide evidence for who you are." It's another way of saying the old truth "actions speak louder than words".

    "If you can change your habits you can change your life". But if you are really struggling to change your habits, don't despair - you are not broken, and I know things can get better. I don't know your situation, but mine was that I needed safe connection (for me it was therapy, though it could be anyone, even pets) to start to discover who I am and to break out of the cycle of anxiety and low self-esteem from years of playing the golden-child role. For so long I thought I was broken, because no matter how hard I pushed I couldn't even do two minutes of a habit I wanted, but now that I'm more healed I've returned to habits. I make my bed every morning. I tidy up before bed. Small habits, but I'm just getting started again.

    Great share in person vs the book - love your book too, the power of learning via seeing the teacher express it was on a different level for me - gratitude James

    When I first saw him in video , I was carefully checking the scar in his forehead because in his childhood his classmate had brutally fractured his skull with a baseball bat. Good to see that he doesn't have that scar anymore. Just finished reading Atomic Habits. What a great book it is.

    Since 2019 June I am falling sick back to back and I used to workout 6 times a week and I had very good physical and mental health. It all started with dengue followed by complicated internal defects and lead to to 3 major surgeries in 1.5 year of time. I was so out of my habit and I was trying so hard to maintain a regular habit but I was unable to do so. One of my friend suggested me this book, I started reading the book and learnt a lot of things. Still I am not happy with my lifestyle but I am learning everyday and making it better :) thank you sir for writing such a beautiful book.

    This pairs well with David Goggins' book "Can't Hurt Me."
