Could this best-selling self-help book actually be the best introduction to behavior analysis for a mainstream audience? Though many of us expected James Clear's "Atomic Habits" to share some lightly-spiced tips for changing behaviors, we were all impressed with the level of research and personalization that Clear put into his program for analyzing and building new behavioral habits. From a basic belief that doing a little bit of something good is better than nothing, Clear lays out some important, real-world examples of analyzing your own ABCs and sprinkles in some acceptance practice to explain an actionable series of steps to create lasting behavior change with in the areas of most significance to you. But don't take our word for it…or do, but only after a full two-hour discussion of our thoughts and in-depth review of the book.
