Even if the goal is the same, the habits must be different!If you're a night owl, can you develop the habit of waking up at 5 a.m. every morning to exercise? Even if your goal remains the same, your habits should be tailored to your unique characteristics.
Let's change not only our behavior but also our lives with the new rules of habits that have been highlighted by Amazon, the New York Times, and others.

★★★ Published in 65 languages worldwide!
★★★ Amazon's best-selling books of 2021 and 2023!
★★★ #1 Amazon Bestseller for 31 Consecutive Weeks!
★★★ New York Times Bestseller, 260 consecutive weeks!
★★★ Selected as '2019 Book of the Year' by Kyobo Bookstore, Yes24, and Aladdin!
The most scientific and easy habit system proven by 25 million people worldwide!
Amazon's most talked-about book that rewrote the self-help book formula!
The bible of habits, "The Power of Small Habits," which immediately became the #1 Amazon bestseller upon its publication in 2018 and has changed the lives of 25 million people around the world, has returned with a special edition to commemorate surpassing 500,000 copies sold in Korea.
Even seven years after its publication, this book is still loved by readers around the world because it presents a scientific and concrete system that shows that success begins not with grand resolutions but with very small, repeated actions.
This special edition uses the same image as the original overseas book, which visualizes 'small habits' as 'atoms', to further emphasize the book's essential message.
The author, who was a promising baseball player in high school, suffered a serious accident during practice when he was hit in the face with a teammate's baseball bat.
The accident left him with 30 broken facial bones, his left eye bulged out, almost blinding him, and he suffered cardiac arrest three times.
Instead of giving in to despair, the author, who couldn't even walk, decided to find something small he could do right now and repeat it.
After that, I practiced walking every day and was able to exercise in six months, and six years later, I became the best male athlete in college.
Based on this experience, he became a leading self-development expert who spread the word about the 'power of small habits' that saved him from the abyss of life.
This book combines the author's vivid experiences with the latest research in biology, brain science, and psychology to offer tips for transforming your life with a single habit.
If you've decided to "work out this New Year," this goal is doomed to fail, from the author's perspective.
Because in order to form a habit, the decision must be clear (Law 1), attractive (Law 2), easy (Law 3), and satisfying (Law 4).
Your resolution doesn't apply to any of these.
To create truly transformative habits, your approach must change completely.
This book will teach you how to change quickly, efficiently, and reliably based on these four laws.
From quitting smoking and dieting to achieving business excellence, if you build good habits a little each day using the author's suggested methods, you'll achieve whatever you set out to do.

Into the book
If everyone has the same habits, everyone will get the same results.
But if you have better habits than others, you can produce better results.
Of course, there are people who have achieved incredible success overnight.
But at least there is no such person around me.
I'm not that kind of person either.
From the day he fell into a coma until he was selected as a member of the All-American college team, there was not a single dramatic turning point.
Over a long period of time, countless moments have been turning points that have made me who I am today.
Small victories and minor breakthroughs add up to incremental progress.
--- 「Prologue.
From “The Beginning of a New Life”
Habits work like a compound interest.
Just as money grows with compound interest, habits, when repeated, multiply their results.
What may seem like a tiny difference at one moment or another can have a huge impact over the next few months or years.
Think about 2, 5, 10 years from now.
The power of good habits and the cost of bad habits will make a significant difference.
But it can be difficult to feel and appreciate this every day.
We ignore small changes.
Because it doesn't seem that important at the moment.
--- 「Chapter 01.
From "How did ordinary players become the best in the world?"
We don't change just by making a tiny effort or deciding to change completely.
We change little by little, day by day, one by one.
The ego continually evolves in very subtle ways.
Each habit says this:
“Hey, this feels like me.” If you’ve read a whole book, you probably like reading.
If you go to the gym, you probably like to exercise.
If you've ever practiced playing the guitar, you probably love music.
Every action suggests some type of person I want to be.
--- 「Chapter 02.
From "Identity, the Greatest Secret that Moves People"
Life inevitably hinders us from maintaining habits at some point.
It's impossible to be perfect.
Before long, an emergency arises.
I might get sick, I might have to go on a business trip, or my family might be taking up my time.
When things like this happen, I keep a simple rule in mind.
The rule is 'never filter twice'.
(…) My first mistake never ruins me.
But then again, you might make a mistake.
One filter is an accident.
Filtering twice is the beginning of a new habit.
--- 「Chapter 16.
From "How to Repeat Every Day"
We start a habit and stick with it, but there comes a day when we definitely want to quit.
You start a business, and one day you don't want to go to work.
You go to the gym and suddenly you don't feel like finishing your workout.
It's time to write, but one day you suddenly don't feel like typing.
Moving forward when you're angry, in pain, exhausted, or whatever.
This is what makes the difference between a professional and an amateur.
--- 「Chapter 19.
From “Where does the strength to keep going come from?”
The secret to sustaining results is to never stop improving.
If you don't stop working, you can achieve results.
If you don't stop exercising, you will get healthy.
If you don't stop learning, you will gain knowledge.
If you don't stop saving, you will accumulate wealth.
If you don't stop being considerate, you will gain friendship.
Small habits don't add up.
They grow with interest.
This is the power of very small habits.
The changes are minimal.
But the results are beyond imagination.
But if you have better habits than others, you can produce better results.

From "If you repeat it 100 times, it becomes your weapon"
Publisher's Review
A relay of recommendations from domestic influencers! A life-changing project created through small repetitions!
“If you do the same thing 100 times, it becomes your powerful weapon!”
This book has established itself as a "must-read" in Korea through overwhelming recommendations from numerous famous influencers and self-development experts and strong word-of-mouth.
This is the result of a proven habit system that has proven its popular influence across all fields, from ordinary readers to aspiring leaders.
Diet, studying English, exercising… .
This year, you may have resolved to do something.
I wrote down ambitious goals in my new diary and declared to those around me, "I'm going on a diet starting tomorrow."
A month later, your previous resolutions have fizzled out and you're still eating late at night and not exercising.
I feel a little embarrassed because of the boasts I made to people, but I rationalize it by saying, 'I'm not good at keeping resolutions,' and go back to my old routine.
But there are people who, once they decide to do something, will definitely achieve it.
At some point, they even boast about their healthier bodies, saying, "I recently went on a diet and lost about 10 kg."
Are they particularly vicious? Or do they have incredibly strong willpower? Both are wrong.
They are neither more toxic nor more willpowerful than you.
I just repeated a few very small habits every day.
So how can we be different like them?
James Clear, the author of this book, says that to turn a habit into your weapon, you only need to remember four things.
These are the 'Four Laws of Behavior Change': all habits must be clear (Law 1), attractive (Law 2), easy (Law 3), and satisfying (Law 4).
The author experienced amazing changes with this rule.
I developed the habit of eating an apple every morning, which I often forgot to do.
The author tried to eat an apple every day for a healthy diet, but every time he bought an apple, he would put it in the fruit drawer of the refrigerator and forget about it, and then throw it away without eating it all.
But when I made it a clear habit to 'eat an apple every day', a change came.
The author placed the apples on the table so that they were clearly visible.
As a result, I found myself not forgetting to eat apples whenever I had the chance.
The method introduced by the author allows you to achieve your desired goals by making only a few changes to your current habits without any special willpower.
But as we live, variables sometimes arise in our daily lives.
There will inevitably come a time when you will not be able to carry out the habit you resolved to do today.
The author encourages us that in such cases, it is okay to boldly give up on one mistake.
Instead, we urge you to stick to the rule of 'never skipping twice in a row'.
Because if you break that habit twice, you start another new bad habit.
Furthermore, in this book, the author shatters our prejudices about the myth of the '10,000-hour rule'.
Typically, we believe that change requires a significant investment of time.
But what makes a huge difference is not the 'time' but the 'number'.
It doesn't matter whether it's 21 days, 30 days, or 300 days.
It is important to repeat this often, even if it is just for two minutes.
Repeating a habit twice in two days produces vastly different results than repeating it 100 times in two days.
“One in ten Americans has read his newsletter at least once!”
How to use habits praised by the world's best minds, including Google, Facebook, and Apple!
The book immediately created a sensation across the United States upon its publication, drawing significant attention from various media outlets, including Amazon, The New York Times, and Forbes, as well as from corporations.
In particular, the lecture he gave at Stanford University at which he was invited is still widely remembered to this day.
In addition, the author was the first in the world to integrate cognitive science and behavioral science in this book to explain habits, and prominent American media outlets such as the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post gave it a series of reviews calling it the best book on habits.
This means that the paradigm of habits has changed from a theoretical explanation of habits to one that anyone can easily put into practice.
For the author, who had dramatically recovered from the abyss of life, 'a very small habit' was the last chance and the key to salvation.
The little things in life that seemed insignificant, but when they piled up one by one, they brought about changes he could not have imagined.
This book offers concrete, practical tips for those who want to make small changes but are lost and unable to find the way, and for those who dream of taking a leap forward in life.
I hope that you, like the author, will experience the miracle of very small habits with your whole body.
