Habits that have a high rate of return in life: - sleep 8+ hours each day - lift weights 3x week - go for a walk each day - save at least 10 percent of your income - read every day - drink more water and less of everything else - leave your phone in another room while you work
“Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.” (Atomic Habits). I also like the amz workbook called 30 days to Reduce Stress by Harper Daniels.

The same can be said about backsliding ever so slightly. Before you know it, your at the bottom again if your not careful. Plus the momentum in any direction builds and compounds. This looks like a great book.
I am reading through Atomic Habits now and just the first chapter made an impact for me. Looking forward to reading the rest of the pages. Brian great video thanks for making and sharing this with everyone 👍
This channel is fantastic!. My critique is towards these books that say "Become better 1% per day", but the main problem is that is virtually impossible to get better 1% each day. It is more like big plateau periods, and you have to plan how to jump to the next plateau.
The plateau just works till you make the habit, so it's nonsense to talk about more than just one. Once the habit is strong enough it can support itself through practice.
I agree that 1 percent is a lot for one day but how about a week or even a month that's not a lot to do most of us know few things that can get us 1 percent better in a month... i disagree on your jumping idea...i still think it's more of a gradual thing that accumulate over time...jumping is good but also risky-ish.
Atomic Habits is definitely an A+ book.I really like how mentions that your "environment" matters more to your success than "motivation." So he gives you a realistic framework to work with. Once you understand the process of Atomic Habits its easy. But like the ICE Cube Analogy in his book it takes time. But it does not take forever. Most goals can be achieved within 3 -5 years. I expanded his math equation below to illustrate my point. Between years 3-5 it just explodes of the chart. Hope this helps. 1.01^365 = 37.78 1.01^730 = 1427.59 1.01^1095 = 53939.17 1.01^1460 = 2,038,007.24 1.01^1825 = 77,002,912.75
Small correction that I think is pretty important - it’s 37% improvement over a year not 37 times or X improvement Pretty big difference in meaning But you did an awesome job summarizing the book 🤙
Excellent breakdown of this chapter! Thanks Brian! I am working this way to build my TH-cam channel... Every day I am leaving 1 more comment on someone else's video than I did before!

That's it January will be the 1st month of my Optimize year as a member. I hope to see my book collection grow as much as myself and relearn what I used to know !
OMG! James Clear + Brian-sensei... My heart's gonna explote of awesomeness. I have followed James journey like for 5 years or so, watching him grow and still using his wise tips like the Seinfield method and other bunch of great ideas. It's so cool to see this video from you about his book. Many blessins for both of you :)
Half way thru this book. Really like the 1% rule which sounds like coach wooden and Dr.Edward Demmings philosophy. Tony Robins talks about the power of CANI " Constant and never ending improvement"
Hey Brian, thank for your notes. I have one small improvement for your videos. In the end could do stand somewhere beside blackboard so we can make a screenshot of the notes?

Great book but getting 1% better in a day is much more than it sounds. It's easy to get 1% better at something you've just started but to get 1% better as a person? Like overall? Not so easy. Then as you get better it's harder and harder to get that 1% increase. Think how hard it is for a 100m sprinter to get "1% better" that's a lifetime of work. So yeah it doesn't compound in that way. The principle is good to think about though because there is definitely some amount of compounding effect to improvement but it's not as neat as it sounds.
Just finished reading this book, great book makes me want to read more books, only I am afraid that other books will fail in comparison. Can anyone suggest some books to prove me wrong?

Atomic Habits is truly a great work of nonfiction. I highly recommend the book. As for reaching 1400 times better, it is unlikely since the problem of Comfortable Competence will creep in just a Cal Newport (So Good They Can't Ignore You )said.

Just finished this book. It was decent. I really hate cliches and trends though. Saying things like “compounding 1%” is absolutely ridiculous and childish. Numbers are compounded, not action. It literally makes zero sense. The author did a great job laying out the topic, I’m glad I read it I just wish people were mature enough to recognize how childish it is to come up with catch phrases like compounding your action. It really ruins his credibility. A quick look around the web and you can see multiple people making this claim. I understand the desperation to come up with new material but talking like that is hipster talk, in the real world that’s just not the case.
Hi Michael! Thank you for your comment! Totally appreciate your opinion and I understand that given your reality that it might seem unreasonable. Hope you can still pull out a positive takeaway from the idea! :) Zak | Team Optimize Optimize is now free! Sign up/tell your friends! www.optimize.me
First time watching, enjoyed the video. In the future when drawing graphs, please consider using different graphs, or coloured chalk to illustrate your point, possibly a bigger graph.
It's awesome to question things! I think the latent potential built up over a long time brings HUGE results. That seems like the point to me! Keep optimizing! -Zak | Team Optimize Optimize is now free! Sign up/tell your friends! www.optimize.me
Amazing content on TH-cam brother💯💯 High quality content, pure information and great personality behind all of it. Formula for staggering success! Just uploaded a visual summary on this book. Let me know what you think🔥 Keep posting great content like this!
How do you turn something subjective into a percent 🤔I’m not sure all that math makes any sense except to make you feel hope and satisfy people who think they can make sense out of life with math equations. I’m not trying to pop anyone’s balloon and I think the overall point of using that percentile math is to motivate you but I see an awful lot of misplaced math in life equations in these self help videos. In my experience, life never fits into those equations. If it helps you, awesome!
So if i save a penny a day for 100 years and then my child save a penny for a 100 years and my grandchild saves...blah, blah, blah. Lets extrapolate miniscule amounts to infinity for dramatic effect. Effect.
Habits that have a high rate of return in life:
- sleep 8+ hours each day
- lift weights 3x week
- go for a walk each day
- save at least 10 percent of your income
- read every day
- drink more water and less of everything else
- leave your phone in another room while you work
Dr S Ranjan MBBS Acupuncturist I do 80% of this without reading any book,, interesting 😀
Nice. I hope ppl would add more to the list for great habits ideas
Meditate, journal, practice gratitude
Listen to music or sing 15 mins a day. Stretch your body every morning.

Do you think is better to buy the book 📖 or buy the audiobook?

How do you quantify 1% of an activity?
Great book but getting 1% better in a day is much more than it sounds. It's easy to get 1% better at something you've just started but to get 1% better as a person? Like overall? Not so easy. Then as you get better it's harder and harder to get that 1% increase. Think how hard it is for a 100m sprinter to get "1% better" that's a lifetime of work. So yeah it doesn't compound in that way.
The principle is good to think about though because there is definitely some amount of compounding effect to improvement but it's not as neat as it sounds.
diminishing returns
Yeah i agree, 0.1% is more realistic in my opinion. Still pretty impressive on the long term if you do the math...
@@kedrickization Yeah it's more like reverse compounding imo the gains you can make in a day become smaller the better you get.
thanks for this!!!

I find it so similar to the book “ Stick with it “ for a prophesier and an expert ! Which one before the other ?
It's not important at all. Tautology can be a positive trait.
The 10year compounding ruins the whole concept, proves that there is a flaw in the whole theory. Unless I'm becoming God.
It's awesome to question things! I think the latent potential built up over a long time brings HUGE results. That seems like the point to me!
