You've probably heard of books that will change your life. And a lot of readers agree that the book Atomic Habits (《原子习惯》) will meet your needs.
James Clear, who did a lot of research on formation of habits, is the writer of Atomic Habits. It has sold over 15 million copies and has been translated into more than 50 languages. And his website receives millions of visitors each month.
That's because the book introduces a practical system (系统) for creating good habits and breaking bad ones. Readers everywhere are very interested in Clear's "science of tiny habits".
In the book, file writer suggests trying to get 1% better each day. For example, you'd like to exercise but you don't think you have the time or energy. Clear suggests starting with two minutes a day. Over time, the effects of this habit will increase as you repeat the actions. "All big things come from small beginnings," says Clear.
Clear continues with the following advice: Don't focus on (聚焦) what you want to achieve. For example, two men want to break the habit of smoking. When offered a cigarette (香烟), one says, "No, thanks. I'm trying to give up smoking." The other says, "No, thanks. I'm not a smoker." While the first man still sees himself as a smoker, the second man doesn't. Clear says, "Bad habits will die more easily if you focus on who you want to become."
Atomic Habits will reshape the way you think about progress and success. Slowly but surely, it will have a great effect on your health, job and relationships.
