The book in three sentences or less

Arguably the most successful “self-help” book of the 21st century – almost certainly the most widely read – it explains in simple, digestible terms how the small actions we take every day (our habits) are what really make a meaningful difference to the course of our lives. Author James Clear presents his “Four Laws of Behaviour Change” which detail how to build and stick to any habit: make it obvious; make it attractive; make it easy; make it satisfying.

Quotes from the book

• “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.”

• “It is so easy to overestimate the importance of one defining moment and underestimate the value of making small improvements on a daily basis.”
