 Atomic Habits, by: James Clear Discussion Questions: *What is a habit? (p. 6) How would you define it? *Do you think it is easy to form a habit? What is the debate with good habits vs. bad habits? *Do you agree or disagree with this statement: "Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. No single instance will transform your beliefs." *What are the 3 layers of Behavior Change? (see p. 30) *What is habit stacking? How will you make that work for you? *Do you believe you could create a Habits Scorecard & stick to it? A template is available at: atomicHabits.com/scorecard *Why is setting goals generally less successful than forming habits? *What is your opinion on emotional intelligence after reading & absorbing this statement: ”Our feelings & emotions tell us whether to hold steady in our current state or to make we change. They help us decide the best course of action.” *What are the 4 laws of habit change? *What is "the Goldilocks Rule" & how can it motivate us in our goals to form habits? *What is the the hardest part about forming a new habit (for you)? Favorite Book Quotes/Passages: "Your outcomes are a lagging measure of your habits. You get what you repeat. Bad habits can cut you down just as easily as good habits can build you up, which is why understanding the details is crucial." "You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems." "Habits reduce cognitive load & free up mental capacity, so you can allocate your attention to other tasks." **His website for many of the resources he provides (including a habit tracker) can be found: https://jamesclear.com/3-2-1

Quotes: "Scores of Marylanders led by Major Gist, held off the British long enough to help save a corps of Washington's troops & arguably the bulk of the nascent American army from destruction. The Marylanders' forlorn assaults delayed a British attack on American fortifications at Brooklyn Heights & allowed hundreds of Americans to escape to the temporary safety of their entrenchments. The soldiers who participated in that unorthodox assault would become known as the Immortals or the Maryland 400. With their blood, these men bought, in the words of one American, 'an hour, more precious to American liberty than any other in its history.'" "These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier &t he sunshine Patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country, but he, that stands it now, deserves the love & thanks of men & women." -Thomas Paine "But your country is at stake, your wives, your houses, & all that you hold dear...If you will consent to stay one month longer, you will render that service to the cause of liberty & to your country which you probably can never do under any circumstances." -Washington "I thank you sir for your generous sympathy, but I die the death I always prayer for: the death of a soldier fighting for the rights of man." - De Kalb to Cornwallis {After Washington turned to the president of Congress & handed him his commission} "Those in attendance understood that Washington's resignation was a momentous event in the establishment of the young nation & in the history of the world. Rather than remain in control of the army, possibly setting himself up as a dictator, the general chose to keep the army under civilian control. Those present felt a wellspring of emotion,. as the event marked the culmination of their cause, the realization of the liberty from Great Britain they had fought so long to attain." |
