Atomic Habits

Outline

Atomic Habits (2018) shows how tiny changes, repeated consistently, can add up to remarkable results over time.

Using four simple laws, make it obvious, attractive, easy, and satisfying, the book gives readers a practical framework for building good habits, breaking bad ones, and improving by one percent every day.
