Jumia Books Atomic Habits By James Clear Business And Growth White

One of the best keynote speeches I’ve seen is Seth Godin’s presentation for his book Linchpin. On one of the slides, he shows a baseball bat flying into the stands, with people ducking away and raising their  hands in terror.

While Seth uses the picture to make a point about our irrational fears, in some rare cases, those fears come true. James Clear was one of those cases. When he was in high school, a loose bat smashed right into his face. Broken nose, dangerous brain swellings, dislocated eyes, fractures, his recovery took months.

To get his own baseball career back on track, he had no choice but to rely on the power of small gains. In college, he slowly accumulated good habits and eventually managed to become one of 33 players for the All-American Academic team. Wow!

Today, he is one of the most popular habit researchers, reaching millions through his blog at JamesClear.com. His first book, Atomic Habits, is now the definitive guide on the topic and has quickly become a New York Times bestseller!
