A menudo pensamos que para cambiar de vida tenemos que pensar en hacer cambios grandes. Nada más lejos de la realidad. Según el reconocido experto en hábitos James Clear, el cambio real proviene del resultado de cientos de pequeñas decisiones: hacer dos flexiones al día, levantarse cinco minutos antes o hacer una corta llamada telefónica.
Clear llama a estas decisiones "hábitos atómicos": tan pequeños como una partícula, pero tan poderosos como un tsunami. En este libro innovador nos revela exactamente cómo esos cambios minúsculos pueden crecer hasta llegar a cambiar nuestra carrera profesional, nuestras relaciones y todos los aspectos de nuestra vida.
Useful and insightful. Actionable insights and advice that make me see what the hubbub is all about.
Hay cosas que me han gustado mucho y cosas que no tanto. 3'5 estrellas para mí. Me ha sorprendido que la historia sea tan diferente a la historia popular que el cine ha metido en nuestras cabezas. Me ha decepcionado algunas cosas de la narración, como el propio momento "nacimiento" del monstruo. Creo que se le notan los años más de lo que esperaba. Me ha parecido curioso el nivel de anidamiento de narraciones (cartas donde se cuentan historias de otros, que cuentan cartas e historias de otros). Me ha gustado el desarrollo quijotesco de los personajes.
Me gusta leer este tipo de libros de vez en cuando, aunque lo haga con mirada crítica, siempre aprendo algo. Es verdad que fomentan ese tipo de sociedad hiperproductiva que odio, así que lo dicho, ojo con caer en la autoexplotación que promueve el sistema, y la mirada del éxito desde el "hacer mucho". De cualquier modo, si intentas generar nuevos hábitos, hay buenos y útiles consejos. Lo recomiendo
Die Idee gewünschte Verhaltensänderungen so klein runterzubrechen, dass die entsprechenden einzelnen Gewohnheiten sehr klein und schaffbar sind ist nicht neu, aber trotzdem gut.
Hilfreich ist die Methodik wie man sich neue Gewohnheiten zulegen kann oder eben schlechte Ablegen. Das habe ich auch gleich ausprobiert und in zwei von drei Fällen hat es funktioniert. Die dritte Habit war auch einfach nicht griffig genug.
Das Buch ist auch ganz gut geschrieben, es ist schnell durchgelesen, aber auch - typisch amerikanisch - sehr schematisch und wiederholend.
I think this might be an annual read for me while I'm trying to adjust my habits to lose weight. It's a smart book and full of good stuff about breaking and making habits. Highly recommend.
Like many self help books, this could be an article and just as usefully make all the points. I've found what was said to be true to my learning about creating and keeping productive habits. So it is useful if this is what you are trying to do - or at least would be to someone like me. I think you can probably generally just skim, dive into interesting parts, and read chapter summaries to save time.

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.

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.
