Atomic Habits

I know the word "atomic" means small or tiny in this book, but I couldn't help but think about explosions every time I read the term "atomic habits".Anyway, the idea is that small changes done consistently and with the right system will lead to extraordinary results.I was already familiar with the concepts of habit formation (cue-routine-reward) described in the book "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg so I must say I didn't see too many new insights in Atomic Habits.James Clear presents the idea of the habit loop: cue-craving-response-reward. These four steps create a motivational loop that allows us to create habits. The cue triggers a craving, which leads to a response that satisfies the craving and that will become associated with the cue.He presents a method to create good habits and break bad ones based on this habit loop.So for creating a long lasting habit we must make:- the cue obvious- the craving attractive- the response easy- the reward satisfying.And to break a bad habit we must make:- the cue invisible- the craving unattractive- the response difficult- the reward unsatisfying.I found the anecdotes at the beginning of each chapter to be uninteresting as the book progressed. Maybe the predictability threw me off. Overall it is a great book for someone who has never read about habits formation and it brings lots of practical examples.
