Books which you should definitely read!

 Atomic Habits by James Clear

This book is a great book to read if you are looking to bring change to your lifestyle. This book would be really helpful if you want to get rid of certain bad habits and build some good habits. This book will motivate you with its examples and help you to grow yourself. This book talks about the concept of Compounding which is very important in our lives. It says that in long run, our habits whether good or bad have a huge effect on us. Our daily decisions do impact us all later on. This book suggests various methods to get rid of your bad habits and build good habits.

After reading this book, I learnt the concept of 10000 hours which says that to excel at a skill you have to work for a minimum of 10000 hours. Various leaders have worked more than that limit, which is one reason for their success in their respective fields.

Additionally, why the book is named Atomic Habits? The name means that a very small change would have significant results in long run. So, it is important to maintain discipline. Lastly, your identity is a sum result of what activities you do, what hobbies you have and how you are managing your day. So, if you are writing say journals every day, you would feel more creative. If you work out every day, you would feel more fit and happy. If you make your bed every day, clean your surroundings and yourself then you would find yourself more organized. So, the thing is that things which you do affect your own image of yourself.
