– ‘identity’ is all about changing your beliefs. – ‘process’ is about changing habits and systems – ‘outcomes’ is focussed on changing results In the book, James outlines the three layers of behaviour change a change in your outcomes, process or a change in your identity. He is engaging and relatable – for me, if someone writes in this way, then what they are writing sticks with me. But it is the way he presents it that makes the difference. I wouldn’t say I learned anything new – much of what James covers has also been explored elsewhere in many other books. Think in terms of processes and journeys rather than fixed, binary goals.

It doesn’t provide you much insight into how habits work in relation to the human mind and psychology, but I’m not sure it needs to. He explains some good practices built around behavioural triggers that can help us reshape our lives. Providing easy to follow actionable advice, it delivers on its promise and offers immense value to its readers.Įssentially James Clear lays out a four-point framework for building habits.

I started small with just 15 minutes a day of reading, stacking it with drinking my coffee and just before my planning for the day. I read Atomic Habits in the way I had first found out about the book. I then spotted Atomic Habits on the Altus bookshelf, having never noticed it before. James Clear, the author of Atomic Habits, spoke about stackable habits and starting with just two minutes. I first heard of Atomic Habits when listening to a podcast.
