Customer Reviews Summary

Atomic Habits is one of the most interesting books I have ever read. Every page I learned something new, or a new way to think about something. There are many instances when I read a sentence and then thought to myself “Wow, I have never thought of that in that way.” I also found myself guilty of a lot of bad habits. For example: I get an impulse to clean my room and I clean it. It stays clean for 2-3 days and then it goes back to being messy. Clear describes this as “treat[ing] the symptom without addressing the cause.” If you don’t make it a habit to clean your room, it will become messy again and will remain dirty until another burst of energy makes you decide to clean it again. It would be easier if you just made a habit of cleaning your room every day, so you don’t need a burst of energy to clean your room and use your energy for something else in your life.I really think this book is great for all ages. I am eighteen and I learned a lot of things that I could apply to my life and how I can change some of my habits. I think someone 20 or even 60 years older than me can learn a lot from this book because everyone wants to change some of their habits and want to learn better ways on how they can stick to their goals.The format of the book makes it an easy and pleasurable read. I like how most of the chapters start off with a story of a specific person that corresponds with the topic of that chapter. Also, the real life examples of an everyday average person really helps this book make sense to the average person and makes it easier for people to relate to the topics talked about. I also thought the habit cheat sheets were extremely useful and a great way to capture what was talked about in the chapter. I also think someone could copy one of those cheat sheets for their own goal and put it on their own desk computer, refrigerator, or bathroom mirror. It would definitely be an easy way to remember your habit goals if it was right in front of you reminding you what to do.There are a couple strategies to make good habits that I am going to try to apply to my own life. For example: I really liked the idea of having a buddy or partner change all your passwords to social media for the weekdays. I feel like it creates so much free time to explore or find new things when you do not have a choice to go on social media when you are bored. I thought it was a great way to limit you from going on social media during the weekdays. Also, after you stop having someone change your passwords, it creates a habit of not going on your phone so much because you are not used to it anymore. I think this is a really good habit that a lot of young people should try out because teenagers usually can’t separate from their phone and social media very easily. Another habit that I found very interesting was about the business man who moves a paperclip to a separate bowl every time he made a sales call and would not stop until all 120 paperclips were moved to the other bowl. I couldn’t believe how much that paper clip strategy helped his productivity. It was amazing to see such a small change to his work day (or a small habit) made such a huge difference for his entire life.I would strongly recommend this book to any person of any age. I believe this book can really teach many different people from different backgrounds a lot about how to develop good habits, but also learn how to get rid of the bad habits. Lastly, I think the author did a great job of motivating people in this book. He calls people out for being lazy if they are on their phone for more than 20 minutes scrolling through social media, but then he gives tips on how to change that bad habit. I remember reading that the average person spends 2 hour on their phone per day. That is over 700 hours per year spent on your phone. I found that statistic very powerful!I would rate this book a 5/5 stars and would definitely recommend taking the time to read it!
