I recently read Atomic Habits by James Clear, and I must say it was a truly eye-opening book. It talks about how tiny changes in our everyday habits can lead to big improvements in the long run. The author explains that we don’t need to completely change our lives overnight—just focusing on small, consistent improvements can make a huge difference over time.
What I liked most about the book was how simple and relatable the language was. Even though it is written by a foreign author, it doesn’t feel heavy or complicated. There are many real-life examples and stories that make the concepts easy to understand. One idea that really stayed with me was about building habits based on the kind of person we want to become. For example, instead of saying, “I want to study better,” we can say, “I am someone who enjoys learning and focuses well.” This small shift in mindset actually makes a big difference.
After reading the book, I’ve started trying to wake up earlier and reduce screen time during study hours. It’s not perfect yet, but I can already see small improvements. The book also taught me that even if we fail once in a while, it’s important to get back on track rather than give up.
I would definitely recommend Atomic Habits to other teenagers, especially students in India. It is a very practical and motivating book that can help anyone improve their habits and achieve their goals.
