The Surprising Power of Atomic Habits
- Habits are small and may seem useless, but when done regularly, they can bring powerful change.
- Change happens slow and it will seem like nothing is changing. That's the time when energy and potential is building up.
- Focusing on goals will not lead to long-term change.
How Your Habits Shape Your Identity (and Vice Versa)
- There are three layers of behavior change: a change in your outcomes, a change in your processes, or a change in your identity.
- Habits which do not align with your identity will not last.
- The more you repeat a behavior, the more you reinforce the identity associated with that behavior.

- Your habits shape your identity, and your identity shapes your habits.
- Habits [..] are not about having something. They are about becoming someone.
