It's another episode for the What Makes This Book Great?! mini-series.
This time, Chad Prevost and Phil Mondy discuss Atomic Habits by James Clear, highlighting its success with over 3 million copies sold and its cultural impact.
The duo explore the book's key principles, such as making habits obvious, attractive, easy, and satisfying, and breaking habits by making them invisible, unattractive, difficult, and unsatisfying.
Phil shares his experiences with habit formation, including morning routines and exercise, and the importance of aligning habits with long-term goals. They also discuss the challenges of breaking bad habits, like daily drinking, and the concept of identity in behavior change.
