BUT unless you start applying what you've learned, nothing will change in your personal and professional life. Watch this animated summary, take action, apply the tactics to your life and you'll see dramatic results. I had the intention initially to do an Atomic Habits summary PDF, but honestly, an animated video review is so much more fun to create, and consume.

Atomic Habits Book Review | James Clear

Atomic Habits by James Clear, now so far I’ve read around 21.56% of this book, and if you know about the 80-20 rule, usually 20% of the book contains 80% of the information. 1. Core Idea of a Habit and what it is - A habit is an action that is repeated over and over. Like a routine - The reason habits are important, is because it’s a way for the brain to memorize the most effective way to get the results you want How habits work: 4 steps to habit - Cue: this is the trigger to habit. ( it can be when you first get home, or when you get stress) – its predicting rewards is coming - Cravings: is you looking forward to the feeling you’ll get, whether its having a clean mouth or whether its relief after smoking - Response: it’s the actual habit you perform, brushing your teeth or smoking - Reward: what you get to satisfy your craving a fresh mouth or moment of calm with a smoke. 2. Improving your Life - It only takes Tiny changes, change your life - He focus on a lot on the 1% rule, that if you improve just by 1% each day because of compound interest, in a year you will be around 37 times better - But in the short term, you wont see those improvements Compound interest affect of habits - Applies to the gym: you go to the 3 times a week but see no results, in the first month, but the end of the year its obvious 3. Progress - Is not linear, its curve - Where you have two things happening, effort and time - You have to give your efforts time to turn into success For example - It's like bamboo that is barely visible for the first 5 years, but if you waeer it and take care of it - When it explodes itll grow over 90 feet in a matter of 6 weeks - Its like progress, you spend a PART of your time pursuing it and it seems like your not doing anything, but in reality your setting up the foundation and acquiring the knowledge you need. Plateau of latent potential - He talks about this when it comes to creating habits - And not getting results as fast as you want - The idea is to work at it until you break the plateu - And when you do, people will see it like an overnight success but you know the truth 4. Forget about goals and focus on systems - This is very interesting because I was doing this without knowing - Sure I set a goal every year of subs I want to get - But I focus more on the system I have place to get their For example: - If your goal Is to get A’s in your classes but you have a terrible studying system then you won't get their - But if you have a great schedule for sleeping, for studying - Then the grades will take care of themselves 5. Types of habits - I didn’t before reading this book that there were two types of habits - And no I'm not talking about good and bad There are two types: Outcome-based habits: Identity-based habits: The core idea is that when creating a habit there are 3 layers of change: - Identity in the center: what you believe - process as the second layer: what you do - Outcome: What you get The problem: - Usually, we build outcome-based habits, where we think about the process and the outcome, and once we get the results we stop the habit and go back to 0 - Its like going to the gym to loose to 20lb and then gaining back 3 months later However: - We do identity-based habits - We focus on who we are and what we believe ( I believe eating and working on out is going to give me a healthier life) - Pro cess is just eating healthy and working because that’s what you believe - And then the outcome comes naturally, you get a healthier and better body, and you don’t gain back the weight because your focus on the system, * PRO TIP* INFORMATION IS EVERYTHING 💲1 on 1 Talk + My Budget + Stock Investments💲 https://www.patreon.com/tommybryson 👕Merch👕 https://teespring.com/stores/tommybryson ✅2 FREE AUDIOBOOKS✅ https://amzn.to/2Enayo8¬¬¬ 🎁ACORN FREE $5🎁 Link: https://acorns.com/invite/38EYSU ⚡FREE KINDLE UNLIMITED⚡ (traditional reading) Link: https://amzn.to/2VGbxt9 👨🏽‍💻DISCORD PRIVATE GROUP👨🏽‍💻 https://discord.gg/EcZEHpA My Camera Gear: https://amazon.com/shop/tommybryson ✔ Help Us Reach 250,000 Subscribers: https://goo.gl/0wvm6w 😎All My Social Media😎 Link: https://linktr.ee/tommybryson *Some of the links and other products that appear on this video are from companies in which Tommy Bryson will earn an affiliate commission or referral bonus.

Each cat did what you’d think — scrambling around for minutes and freaking out! Clawing at walls. There was a lever that when the pressed door would open cat eventually found. Thorndike kept doing it to the same cats that escaped successfully. The response was after 20 or 30 times doing this avg cat escape in 6 seconds. It became habitual. Cats learned the power of habits - became conditioned and almost automatic. Saved all the panic of “OH MY GOD GOTTA ESCAPE!” -- Also got what they wanted FASTER with LESS effort: Out You might be thinking: “Won’t habits make my life dull? Robotic? Where’s the fun/spontaneity/freedom!?” -- It’s the opposite. (i.e. me filming content first thing in the morning vs. stress no schedule have to) - discipline gives you freedom ACTION // IMPLEMENT What is ONE habit you KNOW would help you in 2.0 journey? (START DOING) What is ONE habit you KNOW is holding you back at 1.0? (STOP DOING) THINK ABOUT IT: Winners and losers have the SAME GOALS! Habits are what determines if you WIN or LOSE — NOT goals! THE GOAL IS NOT TO read one book BUT TO become a reader THE GOAL IS NOT TO make $1M dollars BUT TO become financially free THE GOAL IS NOT TO workout daily BUT TO become someone at 10% body fat Dopamine Addiction In 1954 two neuroscientists ran an experiment testing desire - using electrodes that blocked the release of dopamine in rats… what happened? Less motivated? Lazy? Fat? WORSE! They DIED. NO desire to eat, drink, reproduce, or do anything else — died of thirst. All of them.
