Atomic Habits / 原子習慣

Introduction: My Story?

[HOW I LEARNED ABOUT HABITS]

We all face challenges in life. This injury was one of mine, and the experience taught me a critical lesson: changes that seem small and unimportant at first will compound into remarkable results if you’re willing to stick with them for years. We all deal with setbacks but in the long run, the quality of our lives often depends on the quality of our habits. With the same habits, you’ll end up with the same results. But with better habits, anything is possible.

我們在生活中都會面臨挑戰(zhàn)。這次受傷是我的一次精力，這次經(jīng)歷給我上了重要的一課：如果你愿意多年堅持下去，一開始看起來微不足道的改變會累積成顯著的結果。我們都會遇到挫折，但從長遠來看，我們的生活質(zhì)量往往取決于我們習慣的質(zhì)量。同樣的習慣，你會得到同樣的結果。但是有了更好的習慣，一切皆有可能。

[HOW THIS BOOK WILL BENEFIT YOU]

The backbone of this book is my four-step model of habits—cue, craving, response, and reward—and the four laws of behavior change that evolve out of these steps.?

這本書的主干是我的四步習慣模型——提示、渴望、反應和獎勵——以及從這些步驟演變而來的四個行為改變法則。

WHY SMALL HABITS MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE

為什么小習慣會產(chǎn)生大的影響

The difference a tiny improvement can make over time is astounding.

隨著時間的推移，一個微小的改善所能帶來的差異是顯而易見的。

Here’s how the math works out: if you can get 1 percent better each day for one year, you’ll end up thirty-seven times better by the time you’re done. Conversely, if you get 1 percent worse each day for one year, you’ll decline nearly down to zero. What starts as a small win or a minor setback accumulates into something much more.?

原理是：如果你能在一年的時間里每天進步1%，那么當你完成任務的時候，你會進步37倍。相反，如果你一年里每天都退步1%，你會下降到幾乎為零。一開始的小勝利或小挫折會累積成更大的成就。

1%BETTEREVERYDAY

1% worse every day for one year. 0.99 for 365 days = 00.03

1% better every day for one year. 1.01 for 365 days = 37.78
