The reason I like Ali is he's being so honest. Like even if it offend himself.

This book changed my life. I follow good habits and track them in my journal for four months, I feel so satisfied with how I use my day constructively.

[@studyrvse]

same here

[@asikotimer]

‘Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement’ love that!

[@daudaabubakar2857]

Good habits rather than just habits

[@harshjindal0]

One of the best books I have ever read!

[@Parissaintss]

I wish you the very best you’re doing amazing 🫶🏼

[@DontDistract_for_IIT]

Can't compete any book to quaran. Quran is the most powerful book in the world 🌎🌎🌍🌍😊😊😊

[@marsgizmo]

Great book recommendation! A small tip, add the top links also as a Pinned Comment here, it’s way easier to access them than the description, which is a bit difficult to find , when you’re in Shorts Viewing mode :)

[@blackslicedbyred5351]

True

[@noexcuseschristians]

One of the best books I've read. Great recommendation!

[@TACSmom]

Yes. I came to the comments looking for the link. I’m still looking for it.

[@rajeswarynarasimman3728]

I like Ali's videos because he never beats around the bush. He does not waste the time of people watching his videos, delivers quality content. He is amazing

[@tabasumiman8552]

I am in the process of breaking my four bad habits and i am also in the way of making good habits wish me luck

[@SimonFogg]

The best personal development book I have ever read! Written in a way that makes you want to apply the book there and then as you are reading. I recommend Marshall Goldsmith's Triggers as an amazing double act with Atomic Habits.

[@ericsevo7997]

Should I read both at the same time?

[@simplyphotoshop8035]

I actually tried to make a habit of drinking water more often as I was reading the book, applying the laws one by one. After 3 days I finished reading the book and I definitely remember to drink water more often, but wouldn’t say it’s a full on habit yet.

[@kevinharig2292]

It’s the mind not the action. Behind each goal and action lies the mind/thought. You are what you think and believe.

[@hekkrjs2698]

It’s actually the other side of the same coin. Some people argue it’s about the action, which is true, while others emphasise the determined mind, believing you can do it, as the first step leading to action, making it possible.

[@deliciouspeshawar]

best ever book for replacing bad with good habits, needs reading again and again

[@savad4837]

I wanna teach my family each point from this book. It helps me al lot to revise the points of this book so much. Thankyou Ali for your your valuable content❤

I wanted to read the book, but I watched Masterclass (Small Habits That Make A Big Impact On Your Life by James Clear Masterclass), and I'm daily implementing those 4 Laws, for reducing cues and making better life. Kudos to James Clear sir! 💖

[@farhannabil8487]

These tips are helping me to implement the methods

[@samirbasfor9696]

One of the best books I have ever red

[@montero8996]

Loving your content it gets me motivated 🙏

[@yalazha]

I'm reading this book now, and highly recommend reading it yourself. I've heard about this book for years and have listened to many book summaries from YT-ers, but I get a different takeaway from this book than their summaries, maybe because I am looking to improve myself in different ways and have different questions when I'm reading this book. For example, the plateau of latent potential, or Ali's first point here. Yes, of course we understand that habits will lead to big results over time, but I didn't think about how many people lose the desire to keep going and despite seeing no tangible "success" from their hard work, each small task is incrementally contributing to the big result, with examples from the book. This made me rethink something that I used to think was just pure common sense, or at least made me stop to think about it and how I can relate or apply this.

[@bravo6going702]

Still one of the best books ive read

Hi, Patrick here - great video! Sounds like an interesting book to read....

[@jonasview]

Thanks for the short summary 🙌🏼 Currently reading Atomic Habits - it’s a great book & I can recommend it to read for yourself (there are charts and tables in the book which explain how to build good habits and break bad ones more in detail)

[@thebookproject3774]

Great summary! I've also read the book and am currently giving quick lessons on the main ideas in my Atomic Habits' series.
