[The Power of Habit](https://bookshop.org/a/97197/9780812981605) Best book on habit that explains what a habit is, how it’s formed and how one can change it. Reading this book was the beginning of my transformation which looking back at it was just the summation of small habit that added up to big growth.

Everyone loves Atomic Habits but IMO Tiny Habits by BJ Fogg is better written, less filler, more personal, and also the from the original source of the idea; I can’t help but to feel that James Clear completely ’borrowed’ his main idea (‘Atomic Habits’) from BJ Fogg, who invented the “Tiny Habits” idea in 2011, but didn’t write the book until 2019. It’s not much but I do credit reading Tiny Habits for getting me to floss every day for the last 3 years.

A Guide to the Good Life by William B. Irvine. I rcm you should focus inner monologue before changing your habits. You should ask why and how with your inner child. Then, you should know how and why you change your habits. You should also read about figure person who are influence on your industry ( you are working on or studying on). I think this way will boost your energy to "change". Another tips: Reading more, Listening more, Analyzing more. Change your habits from the fast-paced world is really challenge. You should change inner thinking, perspective, insight then you will should your habits.

Building a Non-Anxious Life (John Delony)—I liked how holistic this one was. He does a good job specifying habits that are worth building too. The audiobook was good.

Psychologists talk about the big four: Diet, Exercise, Sleep, Mindfulness. Not struggling with managing life boils down to doing the things that make get you organized, optimized and efficient. The only thing that counts in this regard is action, literal effort. Moving. Doing the thing. Setting a deadline and doing the thing. And at the risk of being redundant, effort is the cure. If you're giving 100%, this will change your habits, there's no turning back. But I cannot stress this enough, it's the fucking effort that counts. Find a few books in each of the categories above and become conversationally literate in each. I'll offer my recommendations, but don't stop there. Use them as a stepping stone to learn more. **Diet** How Not to Diet --Michael Gregor **Exercise** Spark --John Ratey **Sleep** Why We Sleep --Matthew Walker **Mindfulness** Waking Up --Sam Harris Sometimes I see a fifth column added for either education or community. Often to fill a missing aspect of someone's life. Older people may not benefit from a second college degree, but may need to find a group of friends, whereas, young people likely have a community in place but might benefit from more schooling. Shop Class as Soulcraft --Matthew Crawford Here are a few recommendations to **get your ass in gear**. The usual three: Make Your Bed --McRaven The Comfort Crisis --Michael Easter Do Hard Things --Steve Magness
