My daughter has just finished reading 'Atomic Habits' and I have started to observe a few changes in her behavior, most notably, she is now better prepared for Sat 7AM swim session. Her swim bag and costume are right by her bedside the night before. I was impressed by this tiny

change so asked her to summarise the book for me. I found it very impactful for behavior change and building new habits so sharing here

1. A large portion of our daily actions are influenced by our automatic habits, habits that have been formed through repetition over the course of our entire life. There are healthy and productive habits that serve us and negative ones that work against us.

2. We are what we repeatedly do and the quality of our lives often depends on the quality of our habits.


Lesson 1: Tiny changes lead to big improvements


“Atomic habits” is all about showing how small and seemingly unimportant changes and adjustments can lead to a massive

3. transformation. If you make a tiny 1% improvement to something on a daily basis in the course of just one year, you end up being 37 times better...37 times better health, 37 times better finances or relationships, even a fraction of that will significantly transform your life

10 Powerful Lessons of the book “The Art of Thinking Clearly”

| Thread 🧵

1. Never underestimate the hard work and lower probability of success, just because we are shown more successful people than many more actual failures.

It does not mean, in any way, that you should not dream big. It just says that dont get overawed by the number of success stories you read and assume that success would be easy. No one prints the failure stories.

2. Confirmation bias is the mother of all misconceptions.

It is a tendency to interpret new information so that it becomes compatible with our existing theories.

Warren Buffet has seen people losing money with this because they ignore facts which contradict the theory in the mind of the investor.

Dis-confirming evidence must be seeked out to beat this theory.

9 Best Lessons From "48 Laws of Power" by Robert Green

- 𝙏𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙-

1. Always Say Less Than Necessary

The more you talk the more likely you will say something foolish.

- Ask questions and listen more
- Control what you reveal about yourself
- Avoid revealing your weaknesses to others

2. So Much Depends on Reputation – Guard It With Your Life

You can use it to intimidate and win.

But it can also kill you and the opportunities that present themselves to you.

Being unpopular and going against what's popular might seem cool, but it can harm you too.

3. Win Through Your Actions, Never Through Argument

Any triumph you gain through argument doesn't have much value, won't last long and is a waste of time.

The more you think about this, you realize how true it is.

Focuso on your actions.

4. Avoid the Unhappy and the Unlucky

Emotions can be as infectious as a pandemic.

Avoid people who portray themselves as victims. You won't be able to cure them, so don't sink trying to save them.

Surround yourself with happy and ambitious people.
