Atomic Habits: Tiny Changes, Remarkable Results : An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones

This book by James Clear is another one of those I thought really useful for shifting your mindset about how to change your behavior. Focusing on systems, he tells lots of stories about how making tiny changes--i.e., setting the barriers very low--can begin to move you in desired directions. He talks about the "compound interest" of 1% changes, either in negative or positive directions. These tiny changes don't often result in visible results in the short term but have profound effects in the long run.  If you want to do something, make it obvious, make it easier to do, change your environment to support the new behavior. Lots of straighforward advice.
The Wall Street Journal sings the books praises.
