3 Key Lessons from Atomic Habits

This section of the Atomic Habits summary presents key points from three of the core themes of the book. 

Lesson 1: Small habits make a big difference

Lesson 2: Forget about setting goals. Focus on your system instead. 

Goals are about the results you want to achieve. Systems are about the processes that lead to those results. I think it worth reading to be honest.

If you’re having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn’t you. The problem is your system. Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don’t want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change.

Lesson 3: Build identity-based habits

The key to building lasting habits is focusing on creating a new identity first. Your current behaviors are simply a reflection of your current identity. What you do now is a mirror image of the type of person you believe that you are (either consciously or subconsciously).

To change your behavior for good, you need to start believing new things about yourself. You need to build identity-based habits. In cbt this what we teach about behaviour change and shifting your mindset.

The more you keep doing the habit the more it becomes natural to you. 

This useful Atomic Habits summary cheat sheet compresses many of the key ideas and insights from the book into a handy reference guide for how to build a good habit or break a bad one.

Summary 

🚀 The Book in 3 Sentences

1. Real change comes from the compound effects of hundreds of small decisions or habits that over time accumulate to produce remarkable results.
2. To achieve our goals we need to first build systems made of single processes and habits that will take us to our goals.
3. Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement – it’s the good and bad things that we do each and every day that compound over time to create real change.

👤 Who Should Read It?

There’s really no limit to who should read Atomic Habits. We’re all “made of” habits therefore this book is inherently about our behaviours and what all of us do every day. That being said, you’ll really enjoy this book if:

• You care about achieving your goals,
• You want to deliberately change your habits,
• You want to discover how habits are formed,
• You want to know how you can build systems that will support your goals.

This should help you to make the choice to read the book 📕 

I highly recommend reading it.
