ATOMIC HABITS by James Clear

This book continues to be a #1 Bestseller year after year and there is a reason why, it's frickin' awesome! I have listen to and read this book multiple times and every time I'm gearing up for a new challenge or trying to implement a new protocol I revisit Atomic Habits.

In this episode I do a deep dive on the book, it's main lessons and tactics.

  • Four essential steps for establishing a habit: 
    • cue, 
    • craving, 
    • response, and 
    • reward, 
  • Awareness as the initial step in the habit-building process. 
  • Habit stacking, temptation building, the 2 minute rule
  • The 4 tactics for establishing positive habits 
    • obvious, 
    • attractive, 
    • easy, and 
    • satisfying 
  •  The 4 tactics for establishing positive habits
    • invisible, 
    • unattractive, 
    • difficult, and 
    • unsatisfying 
  • The importance of tracking & accountability
  • The "Goldilocks" zone

If you are starting a New Year's resolution and you haven't read this book, get it.
