Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones is a 2018 self-help book by writer James Clear on habit reversal. Its general assertion is that the willpower a person needs to overcome a negatively-affecting habit, such as an addiction, is most easily developed by slowly replacing it with a small and minimally exerting positive habit—"getting 1% better each day".
