Atomic Habits

James Clear

When we want something, we want it now. We expect big and immediate results. Unfortunately, personal transformations do not come quickly. Frustrated with the work involved to make a habit change, we might grow impatient and possibly just give up. While you may want fast and big life transformations, altering your small, “atomic” daily habits is the best way to bring about lasting changes. The same is true for your prayer life. Are you growing in your relationship with God, or do you need to make small changes to your prayer life? “Atomic,” as used in the book, describes tiny but powerful atom-like habits that when combined with other habits, result in lasting change. Instead of setting unrealistic goals, Atomic Habits shows you how to focus on who you wish to become instead of achieving certain end results.
