Follow Friday – James Clear – Atomic Habits

“Obsess about the process, not the end results. You don’t get results by focusing on results, you get results by focusing on the actions that get results.”

Craig Groeschel

For those of you who know me or have been following me for a while, you know I’m a productivity nut. I have been studying productivity for close to 20 years. In teaching people about productivity, I have a handful of books that I typically recommend to people. I now have a new #1 book that I will be recommending, Atomic Habits by James Clear.

I have read The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg and thought it was a good book, but it didn’t take things quite far enough for me. In Atomic Habits, James Clear acknowledges Duhigg’s contribution and makes it clear he intends to build on top of what Duhigg has already stated. The build on top of Duhigg’s work is what gives Atomic Habits the extra edge I have been looking for in a book on habits.

I don’t want to steal James’ thunder so I’m not going to go any further, however, what I will say is if you’re looking to make meaningful changes in your life, you need to get Atomic Habits by James Clear.
