I would like to talk about a book that really influenced my life. It's called Atomic Habits, written by James Clear. I read this book about a year ago when I felt unmotivated and struggled with preparing for exams, especially in my math and English exams. The book focuses on the power of small habits and explains how tiny changes, if repeated consistently, can lead to remarkable changes in our lives. Instead of just encouraging big goals, the author suggests improving just 1% each day. He also explains how habits are formed and how the environment plays a crucial role in shaping our behavior. Now, what impressed me in this book? For example, the author shares a powerful personal experience. When he was a teenager, he was playing on a baseball team. During a game, he was hit by a baseball bat, which caused a serious injury and a long-term recovery process. During this time, he realized that small and consistent improvements were more effective than trying to recover quickly. This experience later inspired him to create the habit-building system explained in the book, which shows how tiny daily actions can lead to long-term changes. As a result, I became more disciplined and more productive than before.
