The Atomic Habits 6-Week Challenge

About the Challenge

If you’re anything like most people, you read (or listened to) the book, you loved the book, and… you don’t remember anything! 

A quick poll of friends who read the book, found that not a single person could recall the 4 Laws of Habit Change! In other words, the book is full of great information but it’s not written to truly teach people to build “good” habits and break the “bad” ones. That’s where this Challenge comes in! 

If you’ve never heard of Atomic Habits, the book is one part personal development and one part lessons in human nature. Written in 2018, Atomic Habits is a #1 NYT best-seller and has sold over 15m copies worldwide! On Amazon the book has 4.8 stars on 120k reviews!

Taking a self-help book and actually implementing its teachings can be a transformative experience. It’s one thing to read a book and gain knowledge, but it’s another to actively apply the principles and create real change in your life. 

By teaching and discussing the concepts from a book like Atomic Habits within a Challenge, we can take the ideas further and explore how they can be put into practice. This collaborative approach allows for a deeper understanding of the material and provides accountability and support as we strive to incorporate “atomic” habits into our daily lives. Through sharing our experiences and insights, we can inspire and motivate one another to make meaningful progress on our personal development journeys.

(And, in case you were wondering, the 4 Laws of Habit Change are: 1). Make it Obvious, 2). Make it Attractive, 3). Make it Easy, 4). Make it Satisfying).

 👉 “Your level of success will seldom exceed your level of personal development.” -Jim Rohn (Author & Motivational Speaker. 1930-2009.)

Habits: Tiny Changes, Remarkable Results

Habits are essential for shaping our lives and determining our “success” (which you will define in this Challenge). Ideally, habits automate our behaviors, making them effortless and consistent over time.

“Good” habits provide structure, routine, and discipline; eliminating the need for constant decision-making and conserving mental energy for more important tasks. “Bad” habits, on the other hand, can hinder our progress and lead to negative outcomes, long term. Bad habits often involve behaviors that are counterproductive or harmful to our well-being. They can be difficult to break without conscious effort and intervention.

Understanding the importance of habits and harnessing their power is key to personal growth and success. Our daily routines shape our future, and by leveraging the science of habits, we can create intentional change in our lives.

 👉 “You cannot hope to make progress in areas where you have taken no action.” -Epictetus (Greek Stoic Philosopher. Died 135 AD)
