Atomic Habits
Atomic Habits is one of the first self-improvement books I read, forming what became an obsession with bettering myself in every way possible.
I will continue to update this page as I read the book, expanding on the points I think are most relevant to my journey of recalibrating.
Introduction: My Story
- Atomic means a fundamental building block and also something of great power.
- Habits are involuntary actions resulting from stimuli that we do on a regular basis.
- Habits enable the establishment of control over your life.
- The consistency of forming good habits is key to maintaining stability and achieving self-actualization.
- Positive mental awareness is a crucial aspect of behaviour modification.
- The insights provided in this book are a step-by-step guide to recognizing fundamental aspects of human behaviour and how to change it.
- James also begins to address what is now known as the Creator Economy, an economy that enables the monetization of natural self-expression.
Chapter 1: The Fundamentals, Why Tiny Changes Make a Big Difference
- The aggregation of marginal gains can lead to significant results over time.
- Consistently improving by just 1% each day can lead to drastic improvement over a year.
- Focusing on the trajectory of self-expression and self-actualization is more important than day-to-day results.
- Goals are momentary changes of state, while systems enable changes of state over time.
- Fixing the inputs in a system will automatically lead to better outputs.
- Atomic habits are fundamental changes made on a day-to-day basis that lead to compounding effects over time.
