I first met today’s guest in September 2015 as he and I sat together on a panel at the first-ever Tribe Conference put on by mutual friend Jeff Goins. His name is James Clear, and he is best known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple behaviors that can be readily applied to daily life and work. I love that, in this New York Times bestseller, he draws on ideas from biology, psychology, and neuroscience to create an easy-to-understand guide for making good habits inevitable and bad habits impossible. That new and bestselling book is called Atomic Habits: An Easy and Proven Way to Build Good Habits and Break Bad Ones (Tiny Changes, Remarkable Results). It’s going to reshape the way you think about progress and give you the tools and techniques you need to transform your habits and achieve a success that lasts.
