7
2. The source of immense energy or power.
8
Habit means a routine or practice performed regularly, an automatic response to a specific situation.
9
Introduction.
10
My story.
11
On the final day of my sophomore year of high school, I was hit in the face with a baseball bat.
12
As my classmate took a full swing, the bat slipped out of his hands and came flying toward me before striking me directly between the eyes.
13
I have no memory of the moment of impact.
14
The bat smashed into my face with such force that it crushed my nose into a distorted U-shape.
15
The collision sent the soft tissue of my brain slamming into the inside of my skull.
16
Immediately, a wave of swelling surged throughout my head.
17
In a fraction of a second, I had a broken nose, multiple skull fractures, and two shattered eye sockets.
18
When I opened my eyes, I saw people staring at me and running over to help.
19
I looked down and noticed spots of red on my clothes.
20
One of my classmates took the shirt off his back and handed it to me.
21
I used it to plug the stream of blood rushing from my broken nose.
22
Shocked and confused, I was unaware of how seriously I had been injured.
23
My teacher looped his arm around my shoulder, and we began the long walk to the nurse's office.
24
Across the field, down the hill, and back into school.
25
Random hands touched my sides, holding me upright.
26
We took our time and walked slowly.
27
Nobody realized that every minute mattered.
28
When we arrived at the nurse's office, she asked me a series of questions.
29
What year is it?
30
1998, I answered.
31
It was actually 2002.
32
Who is the President of the United States?
33
Bill Clinton, I said.
34
The correct answer was George W.
35
Bush.
36
What is your mom's name?
37
Uh.
38
Um.
39
I stalled.
40
10 seconds passed.
41
Patty, I said casually ignoring the fact that it had taken me 10 seconds to remember my own mother's name.
42
That is the last question I remember.
43
My body was unable to handle the rapid swelling in my brain, and I lost consciousness before the ambulance arrived.
44
Minutes later, I was carried out of school and taken to the local hospital.
45
Shortly after arriving, my body began shutting down.
46
I struggled with basic functions like swallowing and breathing.
47
I had my first seizure of the day.
48
Then I stopped breathing entirely.
49
As the doctors hurried to supply me with oxygen, they also decided the local hospital was unequipped to handle the situation
50
and ordered a helicopter to fly me to a larger hospital in Cincinnati.
51
I was rolled out of the emergency room doors and toward the helipot across the street.
52
The stretcher rattled on a bumpy sidewalk as one nurse pushed me along, while another pumped each breath into me by hand.
53
My mother, who had arrived at the hospital a few moments before, climbed into the helicopter beside me.
54
I remained unconscious and unable to breathe on my own as she held my hand during the flight.
55
While my mother rode with me in the helicopter, my father went home to check on my brother and sister and break the news to them.
56
He choked back tears as he explained to my sister that he would miss her eighth grade graduation ceremony that night.
57
After passing my siblings off to family and friends, he drove to Cincinnati to meet my mother.
58
When my mom and I landed on the roof of the hospital, a team of nearly 20 doctors and nurses sprinted onto the helipadon wheeled me into the trauma unit.
59
By this time, the swelling in my brain had become so severe that I was having repeated post-traumatic seizures.
60
My broken bones needed to be fixed, but I was in no condition to undergo surgery.
61
After yet another seizure my third of the day I was put into a medically induced coma and placed on a ventilator.
62
My parents were no strangers to this hospital.
63
Ten years earlier, they had entered the same building on the ground floor after my sister was diagnosed with leukemia at age three.
64
I was five at the time.
65
My brother was just six months old.
66
After two and a half years of chemotherapy treatments, spinal taps, and bone marrow biopsies,
67
my little sister finally walked out of the hospital happy, healthy, and cancer-free.
68
And now, after 10 years of normal life, my parents found themselves back in the same place with a different child.
69
While I slipped into a coma, the hospital sent a priest and a social worker to comfort my parents.
70
It was the same priest who had met with them a
71
decade earlier on the evening they found out my sister had cancer.
72
As day faded into night, a series of machines kept me alive.
73
My parents slept restlessly on a hospital mattress one moment they would collapse from fatigue, the next they would be wide awake with worry.
74
My mother would tell me later, it was one of the worst nights I've ever had.
75
My recovery.
76
Mercifully, by the next morning my breathing had rebounded to the point where the doctors felt comfortable releasing me from the coma.
77
When I finally regained consciousness, I discovered that I had lost my ability to smell.
78
As a test, a nurse asked me to blow my nose and sniff an apple juice box.
79
My sense of smell returned, but to everyone's surprise the act of blowing my nose, forced air through the fractures in my eye socket, and pushed my left eye outward.
80
My eyeball bulged out of the socket, held precariously in place by my eyelid and the optic nerve attaching my eye to my brain.
81
The ophthalmologist said my eye would gradually slide back into place as the air seeped out, but it was hard to tell how long this would take.
82
I was scheduled for surgery one week later, which would allow me some additional time to heal.
83
I looked like I had been on the wrong end of a boxing match, but I was cleared to leave the hospital.
84
I returned home with a broken nose, half a dozen facial fractures and a bulging left eye.
85
The following months were hard.
86
It felt like everything in my life was on pause.
87
I had double vision for weeks, I literally couldn't see straight.
88
It took more than a month, but my eyeball did eventually return to its normal location.
89
Between the seizures and my vision problems, it was eight months before I could drive a car again.
90
At physical therapy, I practiced basic motor patterns like walking in a straight line.
91
I was determined not to let my injury get me down, but there were more than a few moments when I felt depressed and overwhelmed.
92
I became painfully aware of how far I had to go when I returned to the baseball field one year later.
93
Baseball had always been a major part of my life.
94
My dad had played minor league baseball for the St. Louis Cardinals, and I had a dream of playing professionally, too.
95
After months of rehabilitation, what I wanted more than anything was to get back on the field.
96
But my return to baseball was not smooth.
97
When the season rolled around, I was the only junior to be cut from the varsity baseball team.
98
I was sent down to play with the Sophomores on junior varsity.
99
I had been playing since age four, and for someone who had spent so much time and effort on the sport, getting cut was humiliating.
100
I sat in my car and cried as I flipped through the radio, desperately searching for a song that would make me feel better.
101
After a year of self-doubt, I managed to make the varsity team as a senior, but I rarely made it on the field.
102
In total, I played 11 innings of high school varsity baseball, barely more than a single game.
103
Despite my lackluster high school career, I still believed I could become a great player.
104
And I knew that if things were going to improve, I was the one responsible for making it happen.
105
The turning point came two years after my injury, when I began college at Denison University.
106
It was a new beginning, and it was the place where I would discover the surprising power of small habits for the first time.
107
How I learned about habits.
108
Attending Denison was one of the best decisions of my life.
109
I earned a spot on the baseball team and, although I was at the bottom of the roster as a freshman, I was thrilled.
110
Despite the chaos of my high school years, I had managed to become a college athlete.
111
I wasn't going to be starting on the baseball team anytime soon, so I focused on getting my life in order.
112
While my peers stayed up late and played video games, I built good sleep habits and went to bed early each night.
113
In the messy world of a college dorm, I made a point to keep my room neat and tidy.
114
These improvements were minor, but they gave me a sense of control over my life.
115
I started to feel confident again.
116
And this growing belief in myself rippled into the classroom as I improved my study habits
117
and managed to earn straight A's during my first year.
118
A habit is a routine or behavior that is performed regularly and, in many cases, automatically.
119
As each semester passed, I accumulated small but consistent habits
120
that ultimately led to results that were unimaginable to me when I started.
121
For example, for the first time in my life, I made it a habit to lift weights multiple times per week, and in the years that followed,
122
my 6-foot Fowrench frame bulked up from a featherweight 170 to a lean 200 pounds.
123
When my sophomore season arrived, I earned a starting role on the pitching staff.
124
By my junior year, I was voted team captain, and at the end of the season, I was selected for the all-conference team.
125
But it was not until my senior season that my sleep habits, study habits, and strength training habits really began to pay off.
126
Six years after I had been hit in the face with a baseball bat, flown to the hospital, and placed into a coma,
127
I was selected as the top male athlete at Denison University and named to the ESPN Academic All-America Team.
128
An honor given to just 33 players across the country.
129
By the time I graduated, I was listed in the school record books in eight different categories.
130
That same year, I was awarded the university's highest academic honor, the President's Medal.
131
I hope you'll forgive me if this sounds boastful.
132
To be honest, there was nothing legendary or historic about my athletic career.
133
I never ended up playing professionally.
134
However, looking back on those years, I believe I accomplished something just as rare.
135
I fulfilled my potential.
136
And I believe the concepts in this book can help you fulfill your potential as well.
137
We all face challenges in life.
138
This injury was one of mine, and the experience taught me a critical lesson.
139
Changes that seem small and unimportant at first will compound into remarkable results if you're willing to stick with them for years.
140
We all deal with setbacks, but in the long run, the quality of our lives often depends on the quality of our habits.
141
With the same habits, you'll end up with the same results.
142
but with better habits, anything is possible.
143
Maybe there are people who can achieve incredible success overnight.
144
I don't know any of them, and I'm certainly not one of them.
145
There wasn't one defining moment on my journey from medically induced coma to academic all-American, there were many.
146
It was a gradual evolution, a long series of small wins and tiny breakthroughs.
147
The only way I made progress, the only choice I had was to start small.
148
And I employed the same strategy a few years later when I started my own business and began working on this book.
149
How and why I wrote this book.
150
In November 2012, I began publishing articles at jamescleer.com.
151
For years, I had been keeping notes about my personal experiments with habits, and I was finally ready to share some of them publicly.
152
I began by publishing a new article every Monday and Thursday.
153
Within a few months, this simple writing habit led to my first 1,000 email subscribers, and by the end of 2013,
154
that number had grown to more than 30,000 people.
155
In 2014, my email list expanded to over 100,000 subscribers, which made it one of the fastest growing newsletters on the internet.
156
I had felt like an imposter when I began writing two years earlier, but now I was becoming known as an expert on habits,
157
a new label that excited me, but also felt uncomfortable.
158
I had never considered myself a master of the topic, but rather someone who was experimenting alongside my readers.
159
In 2015, I reached 200,000 email subscribers
160
and signed a book deal with Penguin Random House to begin writing the book you are reading now.
161
As my audience grew, so did my business opportunities.
162
I was increasingly asked to speak at top companies about the science of habit formation, behavior change, and continuous improvement.
163
I found myself delivering keynote speeches at conferences in the United States and Europe.
164
In 2016, my articles began to appear regularly in major publications like Time, Entrepreneur, and Forbes.
165
Incredibly, my writing was read by over 8 million people that year.
166
Coaches in the NFL, NBA, and MLB began reading my work and sharing it with their teams.
167
At the start of 2017, I launched the Habits Academy,
168
which became the premier training platform for organizations and individuals interested in building better habits in life and work.Star.
169
Fortune 500 companies and growing startups began to enroll their leaders and train their staff.
170
In total, over 10,000 leaders, managers, coaches, and teachers have graduated from the Habits Academy.
171
And my work with them has taught me an incredible amount
172
about what it takes to make habits work in the real world.
173
As I put the finishing touches on this book in 2018, Gimesclere.com is receiving millions of visitors per month,
174
and nearly 500,000 people subscribe to my weekly email newsletter.
175
A number that is so far beyond my expectations when I began that I'm not even sure what to think of it.
176
How this book will benefit you.
177
The entrepreneur and investor Naval Ravikant has said, to write a great book, you must first become the book.
178
I originally learned about the ideas mentioned here because I had to live them.
179
I had to rely on small habits to rebound from my injury, to get stronger in the gym, to to perform at a high level on the field,
180
to become a writer, to build a successful business, and simply to develop into a responsible adult.
181
Small Habits helped me fulfill my potential, and since you picked up this book, I'm guessing you'd like to fulfill yours as well.
182
In the pages that follow, I will share a step-by-step plan for building better habits not for days or weeks, but for a lifetime.
183
While science supports everything I've written, this book is not an academic research paper, an operating manual.
184
You'll find wisdom and practical advice front
185
and center as I explain the science of how to create
186
and change your habits in a way that is easy to understand and apply.
187
The fields I draw on biology, neuroscience, philosophy, psychology, and more have been around for many years.
188
What I offer you is a synthesis of the best ideas smart people figured out a long time ago,
189
as well as the most compelling discoveries scientists have made recently.
190
My contribution, I hope, is to find the ideas that matter most and connect them in a way that is highly actionable.
191
Anything wise in these pages you should credit to the many experts who preceded me.
192
Anything foolish, assume it is my error.
193
The backbone of this book is my four-step model of habits Q,
194
craving, response, and reward and the four laws of behavior change that evolve out of these steps.
195
Readers with a psychology background may recognize some of these terms from operant conditioning.
196
Which was first proposed as stimulus, response, reward by B.F.
197
Skinner in the 1930s, and has been popularized more recently as Q, routine, reward and the power of habit by Charles Duhigg.
198
Behavioral scientists like Skinner realized that if you offered the right reward or punishment, you could get people to act in a certain way.
199
But while Skinner's model did an excellent job of explaining how external stimuli influenced our habits, it lacked a good explanation for how our thoughts,
200
feelings, and beliefs impact our behavior.
201
Internal states our moods and emotions matter, too.
202
In recent decades, scientists have begun to determine the connection between our thoughts, feelings, and behavior.
203
This research will also be covered in these pages.
204
In total, the framework I offer is an integrated model of the cognitive and behavioral sciences.
205
I believe it is one of the first models of human
206
behavior to accurately account for both the influence of external stimuli and internal emotions on our habits.
207
While some of the language may be familiar, I am confident that the details
208
and the applications of the four laws of behavior change will offer a new way to think about your habits.
209
Human behavior is always changing.
210
Situation to situation, moment to moment, second to second.
211
But this book is about what doesn't change.
212
It's about the fundamentals of human behavior.
213
The lasting principles you can rely on year after year.
214
The ideas you can build a business around, build a family around, build a life around.
215
There is no one right way to create better habits, but this book describes the best way I know an approach that will be effective,
216
regardless of where you start or what you're trying to change.
217
The strategies I cover will be relevant to anyone looking for a step-by-step system for improvement, whether your goals center on health,
218
money, productivity, relationships, or all of the above.
219
As long as human behavior is involved, this book will be your guide.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
