In light of the New Year, we’re reading James Clear’s “Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones,” which might help you be the person you’ve wanted to be, that you know deep down you are. And good news: to get there you only need to consistently do small things. “Success is the product of daily habits — not once in a life time transformations,” Clear writes. He reminds readers: “We all deal with setbacks but in the long run, the quality of our lives often depends on the quality of our habits. With the same habits, you’ll end up with the same results. But with better habits, anything is possible.”In the first episode of a three-part series, we’ll introduce Clear’s four-step process for building better habits, the role identity plays, and the powerful influence of your environment.
