Atomic Habits: Breaking Down Habits Until They're Mind Numbingly Simple
4 stars
This book isn't necessarily one that taught me a lot, I read a lot of the authors that Clear pulls from during my masters program and I noticed that there are a lot of things that Clear discusses that I had already started implementing in my life, but having it verbalized definitely helps to understand how to really go about building great habits. Definitely recommend this for someone who needs a little more guidance on building long lasting habits.

Atomic Habits: Tiny Changes, Big Wins (and No More Feeling Like a Hamster on a Wheel)
5 stars
Forget those self-help books promising a complete life overhaul in 30 days (spoiler alert: it's a lie). James Clear's Atomic Habits takes a different approach, one that ditches the dramatic makeovers and focuses on the real magic: tiny tweaks that lead to massive wins in the long run. Think of it like compound interest for your personal growth – small changes snowball into big results, without leaving you feeling like a hamster stuck on a never-ending wheel.
The Habit Loop: Why We Do What We Do (and How to Hack It)
Clear starts by breaking down the "Habit Loop," the neurological circuit that controls our behavior. It's a four-step cycle: cue, craving, response, reward. A cue triggers a craving for a particular reward, then the response (the actual behavior) gets you that reward, reinforcing the loop and making you more likely to repeat the behavior.

Excellent explanation of problems with forming good habits and stopping bad ones. There are solutions for each of the problems. He starts off with a key for me which I'd say is basically to concentrate on my system rather than on goals. That shifted my mindset to something I can do now rather than focusing on what will be in the future. This book was filled with information-not one of those that just harps about one thing with complaints about the ways some other expert has it all wrong. This is a solid book with sensible information with a bit of encouragement and some good examples added.

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.
