#660: James Clear LIVE! At Ohio University

James Clear is the author of one of the most influential books of our generation, Atomic Habits. He’s sold more than 25 million copies worldwide.

Some of what we covered: The Four Laws of Behavior Change, Systems vs Goals, Building Better Habits, Mastering the Two-Minute Rule, Having a Great Marriage, & The Plateau of Latent Potential.

If you’re building a company or any sort of organization, take a few moments to reflect on the qualities that the people you most enjoy working with embody and the user experience of new people joining your organization, from the offer letter to their first day.

Inside The Process...

From Shane Snow: "I wouldn’t mind if we got rid of 99.999% of podcasts out there. But if Ryan Hawk’s The Learning Leader ever went away, I would be heartbroken. It’s the greatest business podcast, hands down." CLICK HERE to read an interview I did with Shane about my writing process.
