252 // Habits Deep Dive / Why Simple Changes Compound into Big Results (Atomic Habits by James Clear) {Best Of}

<p>It can appear like people who are successful at achieving their goals simply possess an incredible amount of self control. That kind of belief lets us off the hook from creating the life we really want--we simply lack the self discipline, right? Well, it turns out that as we create habits that add value to our lives, we actually require LESS self control, not more. As we change our environment and our cues and rewards, we have the power to eliminate negative habits and build positive ones that can transform our life. Habits are the key to making our goals a reality. We discuss the science behind habits and explore the work of experts on the subject. We break down the steps for creating a good habit (or ridding yourself of a bad one), and give you applicable tips that you can use right away in your life. We share what has really worked in our own lives as we have experimented with habits and unlocked the magic of things like habit stacking.</p> <p>Books that inspired us:</p> <p><a href="https://amzn.to/3ZxCfm9" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Atomic Habits </a>// James Clear</p> <p><a href="https://amzn.to/3Zu8hPY" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Deep Work</a> // Cal Newport</p> <p>Essentialism // Greg McKeown</p> <p><a href="https://amzn.to/3PuV19d" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Getting Things Done</a> // David Allen</p> <p><a href="https://amzn.to/3rkCW5Y" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">The Power of Habit </a>// Charles Duhigg</p> <p>Our Related Episodes:</p> <p>Habits for High Performance</p> <p><a href="https://www.findthemagic.co/homepage/236-systems-and-values-for-easier-days-and-stronger-family-connections-entitlement-trap-by-linda-eyre-and-richard-eyre-best-of" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Systems and Values for Easier Days and Stronger Family Connection</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.findthemagic.co/homepage/236-systems-and-values-for-easier-days-and-stronger-family-connections-entitlement-trap-by-linda-eyre-and-richard-eyre-best-of" target="_blank" r
