# Atomic Habits - James Clear Created: 2023_03_26 03:14 Tags: [[Book]] [[Psychology]] [[Neurology]] Atomic Habits is a book by James Clear that offers a framework for creating and sustaining positive habits in our lives. Clear explains that habits are the building blocks of our lives, and that small, incremental changes in our behavior can lead to significant improvements over time. He offers a 4-step model for building good habits and breaking bad ones, which involves identifying the cue, craving, response, and reward associated with a particular habit. Clear emphasizes the importance of focusing on the process of habit formation rather than just the outcome, and offers strategies for making habits more enjoyable and sustainable. He also addresses common obstacles to habit formation, such as lack of motivation and willpower, and provides tips for overcoming them. One of the key ideas in Atomic Habits is the concept of "habit stacking," which involves attaching a new habit to an existing one in order to make it easier to remember and integrate into our daily routine. Clear also stresses the importance of tracking our progress and celebrating our successes along the way. ## References - [[B.J. Fogg Behavior Model]] - [[Hook Model]] - [[zettels/Hooked - Nir Eyal]]
