No matter your goals, Atomic Habits offers a proven framework for improving—every day. James Clear, one of the world's leading experts on habit formation, reveals practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results.

If you're having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn't you. The problem is your system. Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don't want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change. You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems. Here, you'll get a proven system that can take you to new heights.

Clear is known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple behaviors that can be easily applied to daily life and work. Here, he draws on the most proven ideas from biology, psychology, and neuroscience to create an easy-to-understand guide for making good habits inevitable and bad habits impossible. Along the way, readers will be inspired and entertained with true stories from Olympic gold medalists, award-winning artists, business leaders, life-saving physicians, and star comedians who have used the science of small habits to master their craft and vault to the top of their field.

Learn how to:
<ul>
 	<li>Make time for new habits (even when life gets crazy)</li>
 	<li>Overcome a lack of motivation and willpower</li>
 	<li>Design your environment to make success easier</li>
 	<li>- Get back on track when you fall off course</li>
 	<li>...and much more.</li>
</ul>
Atomic Habits will reshape the way you think about progress and success, and give you the tools and strategies you need to transform your habits--whether you are a team looking to win a championship, an organization hoping to redefine an industry, or simply an individual who wishes to quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, or achieve any other goal.

We’ve all been there: you launch a world-class leadership program, the feedback scores are off the charts, and yet… six months later, nothing has changed on the ground.
In Designing for Behavior Change, Stephen Wendel tackles the "Intention-Action Gap" head-on. This isn't a book about the psychology of why people want to change; it’s a rigorous, practical manual on how to design environments that make change inevitable. For ELE members, this represents a shift from being "content providers" to "architects of behavior."

<h5 style="font-size: 1.75rem; color: #1a1a1a; margin-top: 2.5rem; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; border-left: 5px solid #cc0000; padding-left: 15px; text-align: left; line-height: 1.3;">The Blueprint: Understanding the CREATE Model</h5>
Wendel moves beyond vague theories of habit-building and introduces the CREATE framework—a mental checklist for any leader trying to influence how their team operates. To drive a specific action, an individual must go through these stages:

<ul style="padding-left: 25px; margin-bottom: 2rem;">
 	<li style="margin-bottom: 1rem;">Cue: Is there a clear trigger that tells the person it’s time to act?</li>
 	<li style="margin-bottom: 1rem;">Reaction: What is their immediate, intuitive response to that trigger?</li>
 	<li style="margin-bottom: 1rem;">Evaluation: Do they consciously see the value in performing the action?</li>
 	<li style="margin-bottom: 1rem;">Ability: Is the action actually easy to do, or is there too much "friction"?</li>
 	<li style="margin-bottom: 1rem;">Timing: Is the person being asked to act at the exact moment they are able to?</li>
 	<li style="margin-bottom: 1rem;">Experience: Does the action feel rewarding enough to make them want to do it again?</li>
</ul>
<blockquote style="background-color: #fdf2f2; border-left: 5px solid #cc0000; padding: 20px 30px; margin: 2.5rem 0; border-radius: 0 8px 8px 0; font-style: italic;">
The Core Insight: Most corporate training focuses heavily on "Evaluation" (convincing people it matters), while neglecting "Ability" and "Cues" (making it easy and obvious).

<h5 style="font-size: 1.75rem; color: #1a1a1a; margin-top: 2.5rem; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; border-left: 5px solid #cc0000; padding-left: 15px; text-align: left; line-height: 1.3;">Why It Matters for the ELE Community</h5>
As senior leaders in HR and Talent, your product isn't just "training"—it’s transformation. Wendel’s approach is relevant to ELE members for three specific reasons:

<ul style="padding-left: 25px; margin-bottom: 2.5rem;">
 	<li style="margin-bottom: 1.2rem;">Moving Beyond Motivation: We often blame "lack of engagement" for failed initiatives. This book argues that if an employee isn't changing, the problem is likely in the system design, not the employee's willpower.</li>
 	<li style="margin-bottom: 1.2rem;">Data-Driven Design: Wendel provides a structured way to measure and iterate on behavioral outcomes, turning "soft" HR initiatives into hard, measurable results.</li>
 	<li style="margin-bottom: 1.2rem;">Practical Lab Alignment: This aligns perfectly with ELE’s "Action Lab" philosophy. It gives us a shared language to deconstruct complex organizational challenges and rebuild them into seamless employee experiences.</li>
</ul>
<div style="font-style: italic; color: #444; background-color: #f4f4f4; padding: 30px; border-radius: 12px; border-right: 5px solid #cc0000;">Designing for the future of work requires us to move past mere information delivery and toward intentional habit architecture. By applying these behavior design principles, we can shift the needle on culture and performance in a way that is both measurable and sustainable. It’s time to stop asking if our people are "learning" and start asking if our design is making it easy for them to succeed.</div>
