Transform your life with tiny changes in behaviour, starting now. People think that when you want to change your life, you need to think big. But world-renowned habits expert James Clear has discovered another way. He knows that real change comes from the compound effect of hundreds of small decisions: doing two push-ups a day, waking up five minutes early, or holding a single short phone call. He calls them atomic habits. In this ground-breaking book, Clears reveals exactly how these minuscule changes can grow into such life-altering outcomes. He uncovers a handful of simple life hacks (the forgotten art of Habit Stacking, the unexpected power of the Two Minute Rule, or the trick to entering the Goldilocks Zone), and delves into cutting-edge psychology and neuroscience to explain why they matter. Along the way, he tells inspiring stories of Olympic gold medalists, leading CEOs, and distinguished scientists who have used the science of tiny habits to stay productive, motivated, and happy. These small changes will have a revolutionary effect on your career, your relationships, and your life.

Titles In This Set: 1. The Courage To Be Disliked 2. The Courage to be Happy Description: The Courage To Be Disliked Can we be happy? Psychology might just hold the key ... Millions have already read and benefited from the wisdom dispensed in The Courage To Be Disliked, its simple yet profound advice showing us how to harness our inner power to become the person we would like to be. Using the theories of Alfred Adler, one of the three giants of twentieth-century psychology alongside Freud and Jung, a philosopher and a young man have a discussion. Their conversation reveals a profoundly liberating way of thinking: by developing the courage to change and to ignore the limitations so frequently imposed upon us, it is possible to find happiness. The Courage to be Happy The sequel to the bestselling international phenomenon The Courage To Be Disliked, The Courage To Be Happy offers a profound insight into the way we should live our lives. As with The Courage To Be Disliked, we follow a conversation between a philosopher and a young man. The philosopher believes the key to a life of happiness and fulfilment lies in changing the way we think. Patiently, he explains to the doubtful young man the 'psychology of courage', taking him through the mental steps necessary to achieve it, and demonstrating the changes it will bring to the way we live our lives. This is a work that is truly life-changing in its power, and universally applicable in its scope.
