Atomic Habits: Tiny Changes, Remarkable Results!


Chapter 2 Summary


  • There are three levels of change: outcome change, process change, and identity change.

  • The most effective way to change your habits is to focus not on what you want to achieve, but on who you wish to become.

  • Your identity emerges out of your habits. Every action is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.

  • Becoming the best version of yourself requires you to continuously edit your beliefs, and to upgrade and expand your identity.

  • The real reason habits matter is not because they can get you better results (although they can do that), but because they can change your beliefs about yourself.
