She checks morgues compulsively and revisits a flat she once shared with her mother. She gets stuck on the word “break”, comparing her memories of Sarah to the task of defining awkward words.

When Julian is mugged one night on a London street, he believes it was an anti-Semitic attack, and takes it as a message that he may be Jewish after all. One of them is that Julian continues to express a respect and sincere curiosity about Judaism that his Jewish friends do not share.

Success is a product of the daily habits and not once in a lifetime transformations. We often dismiss small changes because they seem to matter little at the time. They seem to make little difference on any given day, yet the impact they deliver over long periods of time can be enormous. The same way money multiplies over time, the effects of your habits improve as you repeat them. Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement. Conversely, if you get worse by 1% every day for a year, you’ll decline nearly down to zero. If you can get 1% better every day for a year, you’ll end up 37 times better by the end of the year. The difference a tiny improvement can make over time is astounding. Little changes are almost unnoticeable at the time but can be more meaningful and significant especially in the long run.

An atomic habit is a little habit that is a part of a bigger system. This is the first part in a series of posts documenting the most important concepts from the “Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones” book by James Clear.Ītomic habit refers to a tiny change, a marginal gain, a 1% improvement.

Life in the village seems perfect but things are about to change. The village elders display an incredible insight into the human mind and all its potential.
