Resource: James Clear

James Clear, Atomic Habits, ducks Wikipedia. What?

Maureen wants to talk about James Clear, Atomic Habits: Small  Changes Make Big Differences.  Pierre explains that there is no Wiki entry for James Clear. Has he somehow taken control of the Internet?  Good for him!

His book sold 10+ million copies.  

3 key points in Atomic Habits, according to Maureen:

1. Small changes make a big difference. Just 1% improvement compounding over days, months, years makes a big change.
2. Forget about goals; focus on systems. Goals are about results; systems are about processes that lead to results! Focus on how you are going to get there.  'You don’t rise to the level of your goals; you fall to the level of your systems.'
3. Lasting habits are made from identify based change.  Who are you? Who do you want to be?  “Every action is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.”  Like Aristotle:  “You are what you repeatedly do.”

Maureen explains on a practical level how James Clear and new habits can bring change to people - helping people facing challenges.  

Maureen:  We all know we are going to the grave. Question is: who do you want to be along the way?

Maureen says:  "No dawg."  Really she said that?  Yup, she did. 

Pierre closes out with terrible jokes / puns. Thank goodness Maureen mercifully ends it:  "Bah bye now." 

Check it out, folks.  Another resource.  Practical advice. Maureen and Pierre kicking it.
