MCC Wellness Council - Book Club

The Wellness Council's first activity for the month of May is the start of our own book club. We will be reading Atomic Habits by James Clear. This book is a New York Times best seller and will help you build good habits and break the bad ones.

This book club will run the month of May and we will have our final discussion on Wednesday, June 1. If you are interested in joining our club, please email MCCWellness@monroecc.edu.

If you are taking part of our Wellness Punch Card - you will receive two punches. One for starting the book and the other for finishing and taking part in our final discussion. Need a punch card, indicate that in your email and we will get it over to you. If you'd like to just read the book along with us this is wonderful too. Please still email us so we can make sure you are a part of our final discussion.

You can find this book on Amazon, Audible, Target, etc.

 

Here is additional information on Atomic Habits:

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, listeners 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:

  • Make time for new habits (even when life gets crazy)
  • Overcome a lack of motivation and willpower
  • Design your environment to make success easier
  • Get back on track when you fall off course
  • And much more

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.
