He& #39;s known for Atomic Habits, but his wisdom goes far beyond behavior change.
I spent the last few weeks going through his best essays and interviews.
Here are the 10 mental models that stuck with me.
THREAD...
1/ THE FOUR LAWS OF BEHAVIOR CHANGE
1. Cue - make it obvious.
2. Craving - make it attractive.
3. Response - make it easy.
4. Reward - make it satisfying.
Atomic Habits does one thing better than any book.
It teaches you how to do the things you say you& #39;re going to do.

2/ THE IMPORTANCE OF COMPOUNDING
• Every huge success is the result of compounding small successes.
• The first rule of compounding: Never interrupt it unnecessarily.
• Successful people never let a day pass without doing something that will benefit them in a decade.

3/ CONSISTENCY > INTENSITY
• Long-term results come from consistency, then intensity.
• To run a marathon, start by running a mile every day.
• To write a book, start by writing 500 words every day.
To win long-term, start with consistency, then build the intensity.

4/ SUCCESS IS WHAT YOU AVOID
Inversion: instead of trying to guarantee success, find what guarantees failure. Then just avoid those things.
• Health is the food you don& #39;t eat.
• Wealth is the money you don& #39;t spend.
• Happiness is the things you don& #39;t desire.

5/ MACRO GOALS, MICRO ACTIONS
• Keep your goals macro: big, audacious, long-term goals.
• Keep your actions micro: tiny, simple, daily actions.
Focus on creating a system of micro-actions that make the achievement of your macro-goals inevitable.

6/ THE IMPORTANCE OF FRICTION
Friction is the world& #39;s most underappreciated force.
Leverage it.
• To do more of something, reduce the friction.
• To do less of something, increase the friction.
Minimize start-up costs, maximize effectiveness.

7/ THE DEFINITION OF WEALTH
There are four types of wealth: money, status, freedom, and health.
Wealth is the ability to choose:
• What you work on.
• What you think about.
• How you spend your time
• Where you spend your time.
• Who you spend your time with.

8/ READ THE BEST SPEECHES
• Speeches strike the perfect balance of being evergreen, practical, and concise.
• Now I& #39;m replacing podcasts episodes with classic speeches.
• Lindy Effect: if a speech is still around, it is worth listening to. https://jamesclear.com/great-speeches ">https://jamesclear.com/great-spe...

9/ CHANGE YOUR TRIBE
• Changing your habits requires changing your tribe.
• Every tribe has a set of expectations that can be difficult to go against.
• Ditch the tribe that encourages your worst habits.
• Find the tribe that reinforces your best habits.
