Summary of Atomic Habits: An Easy and Proven Way to Build Good Habits and Break Bad Ones by James Clear

Changes that seem small and unimportant at first will compound into remarkable results if you’re willing to stick with them for years.

Yesterday, I got this book as a Goodreads gift and instantly settled down to read it. I'm still very skeptical about self-help books because they sometimes don't get to the heart of the issues. This one did it. James Clear's main arguments are that habits are a compound interest in self-improvement and that your personality derives from your habits. So, you must experience a shift in identity for your habits to hold. This made a lot of sense to me, but I do think that Clear should have addresses deeper emotional issues and gave readers resources so as not to mislead them into believing that they can change their identity by action (repeating new habits) alone
