Atomic Habits: Simplified Edition

The author, who was a promising baseball player in high school, suffered a major accident during practice when he was hit in the face directly by his teammate's baseball bat. As a result of this accident, his facial bones broke into 30 pieces, his left eye popped out, and he was on the verge of blindness. He also experienced cardiac arrest three times. Unable to even walk, instead of falling into despair, the author made up his mind to find the smallest thing he could do right now and repeat it. After practicing walking every day, he was able to regain his ability to exercise after six months, and six years later, he became the top male athlete in college. Based on this experience, he became the world's leading self-development expert, promoting the power of "small habits" that saved him from the depths of despair. This book presents the know-how to transform life through a single habit, incorporating the author's vivid experience and the latest research results in biology, neuroscience, and psychology. If you have resolved to exercise in the new year, according to the author's perspective, this goal is bound to fail. This is because in order to create a habit, the resolution must be clear (Law 1), appealing (Law 2), easy (Law 3), and satisfying (Law 4). The above resolution does not apply to any of these. In order to truly create a habit that can bring about change, your approach must be completely different. This book shows how to quickly, efficiently, and effectively make changes based on these four laws. Whether it's quitting smoking, dieting, or achieving excellent results in business, if you follow the author's suggested methods and gradually develop good habits each day, you will obtain whatever you desire, regardless of your resolution.
