Any single change is not going to transform your life overnight. It's really about the collection of changes, the system of habits that you build, and that's what ultimately starts to compound over time.

I like to refer to habits as the compound interest of self-improvement.

And the reason that I use that phrase is that the same way that money multiplies through compound

interest, the effects of your habits multiply as you repeat them across time. and where we'll be bringing you the greatest teachers and thought leaders on the planet

to discuss the world's most powerful ideas and personal growth for mind, body, spirit, and work.

Hi, Mind Valley fans and welcome back to the Mind Valley podcast. Our guest today is The

Brilliant James Clear. James wrote a book that came out in 2016 called Atomic Habits. This past week it crossed a million in sales.

And I picked up this book in around February or March this year.

It has turned out to be one of the best most fascinating books I've ever read.

Now let me tell you, Atomic Habits is a book all about habit hacking. It's about how to build the right habits in your life so you get better and better and better every day.

But the way James approaches habits is so unique, it's so brilliant, you cannot help but win. He really shows you that in many ways we are like

human machines and with the right input, the right habit hacks you can without a doubt make your habits so effortless, so easy

that you become the man or woman you always aspire to be. And there's an

important reason why James speaks of identity. He speaks about how when you change your identity, everything else in your life changes.

And I got to say, this book is just absolutely astounding. It's no wonder it's sold a million copies. Check it out. Atomic habits and please let's give a big round of applause to James Clear. I'm Viscian Lachiani and this is the Mind Valley podcast.

Hey James, welcome to the Mine Valley Podcast.

Thank you.

It's great to be here.

So I know I do bring on a lot of authors, but I got to say when I say a book is one of the best books I've read in a year I really mean it I never

exaggerate to my audience so congratulations on such a beautiful beautiful piece of work.

Oh thank you so much. That means a lot.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.
