James Clear

James Clear began publishing a weekly newsletter on habits in 2012; the book grew out of those short, practical posts.

Feels like hope, curiosity and society.

A few degrees at takeoff, a different city entirely.

The impact created by a change in your habits is similar to the effect of shifting the route of an airplane by just a few degrees. Imagine you are flying from Los Angeles to New York City. If a pilot leaving from LAX adjusts the heading just 3.5 degrees south, you will land in Washington, D.C., instead of New York. Such a small change is barely noticeable at takeoff—the nose of the airplane moves just a few feet—but when magnified across the entire United States, you end up hundreds of miles apart.
