Atomic Habits Summary (by James Clear) - Summary

Atomic Habits by James Clear explores how small changes in behavior can lead to significant long-term improvements. The book introduces the Four Laws of Behavior Change (Make It Obvious, Make It Attractive, Make It Easy, Make It Satisfying) as a framework for building good habits and breaking bad ones.
