This event is by invitation only and is all expense paid by the American Architectural Foundation.

The Foundation and their experts will be assisting us in looking at how to best capitalize on the tiny home and rehabilitation trends to increase values in older neighborhoods.

REPORTS BY CITY MANAGER, CITY COUNCIL, STAFF, COMMITTEES
Assistant City Manager James A. "Pete" Peterson reported back on issues brought forward at the last City Council meeting. He reported that Elm Avenue isn't a viable alternate route for River Street as it experiences a similar flooding pattern.
He also reported that the logistics involved in changing the hazardous waste collection to pick up after a flooding event make it prohibitive since this is done on a cooperative basis through VPSSA. The City may, however, make additional collections needed in times of emergency on an as needed basis. Vice Mayor Curtis reminded citizens that they can always take those items to collections hosted by other localities. Mr. Peterson indicated the City will attempt to do a better job of advertising and communicating these opportunities.
Councilman Moffett shared that an event for homeless vets is scheduled for November 7th at Y. H. Thomas Community Center.
Mayor Wallace also shared that there is an environmental impact study is being done by the state highway department in connection with potential expansion of the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel. The Mayor indicated that all work will be done within the existing right of way.
Councilman Tuck recognized a gentleman in the audience, Retired Major Anthony Grant, a veteran of both World War II and the Korean War.
Miscellaneous New Business

I find that I bring home fresh flowers (or pick them, when I can) on a regular basis during the spring. While the stores are still full of flowers during the winter, the change in season really makes me want to bring a little more of nature indoors. Another way to decorate with flowers is to use a specialty pan to turn ordinary teacakes into springtime treats. This pretty Nordic Ware Flower Petits Fours Pan allows you to easily make 20 floral-themed petit fours to decorate your dessert table. To give you a sense of scale, each cavity produces a cake that is about the size of a mini muffin and can be eaten in 1-2 bites. The interior of the pan is nonstick, which will help ensure you get a clean release from the pan and plenty of detail on your finished cakes. As usual, however, I recommend greasing and flouring your pan to ensure that you get as much detail as possible from every nook and cranny of the detailed design.
These cakes will look best with a relatively plain cake filling – lemon, almond, vanilla, chocolate, red velvet – that has no mix-ins or only contains mix-ins that are quite small. Berries and chocolate chips tend to get stuck to the edges of the pan and prevent you from seeing the finished design clearly, though the cakes will still taste delicious. I would top these off with confectioners' sugar, rather than icing, just to keep those lovely flowers as visible as possible.

Vidalia softball comeback falls just short
Published 12:46 am Saturday, July 17, 2010
SHREVEPORT, La. — The Vidalia 9-10-year-old softball All-Stars rallied from an eight-run deficit to tie the game at 14-14 heading into the bottom of the fifth inning.
Unfortunately, Blanchard batted last and scored the one run it needed to as it defeated Vidalia 15-14 Friday night in a Louisiana Little League State Tournament game that lasted nearly three grueling hours in excruciating heat.
Vidalia 9-10s coach Wesley McCarver compared this near-comeback to the one in which it rallied from an early 12-0 deficit to defeat Avoyelles 16-15 on its way to winning the district championship.
"We fought back hard. We never gave up," McCarver said. "We walked too many batters. Our pitchers had trouble finding the plate."
Even though Vidalia's bats finally got going in the latter stages of the game, McCarver said his team got too far behind.
"I'm proud of them. Couldn't ask for more," he said.
The Vidalia 9-10-year-old All-Stars will take on Shreveport in an elimination game today at 7 p.m.
Vidalia 13-14s 20, Blanchard 0 (5 innings)
JONESBORO, La. — Taylor Rodgers and Taylor Perkins combined to pitch a one-hit shutout as the Vidalia 13-14-year-old softball All-Stars annihilated Blanchard Friday night in the first round of the Louisiana Little League State Tournament.
"My two pitchers, Taylor and Taylor, did an excellent job. Strong pitching and strong defense is what did it for us," Vidalia 13-14s coach Tommy Milligan said.
Rodgers, who picked up the win, struck out five in two innings while Perkins struck out one in three innings.
Vidalia scored all of its runs in the first three innings — five in the bottom of the first inning, eight in the bottom of the second and seven in the bottom of the third.
Karlee Woodruff went 2-for-3 with a double and a triple while Mackenzie Watts went 3-for-4 with a double to lead Vidalia's 11-hit attack.
"As far as hitting the ball, we put a lot of runners on base by playing small ball. We stole some bases," Milligan said. "We haven't had a chance to play in six weeks. I don't think it would have mattered who marched in tonight. Our kids were ready."
The Vidalia 13-14-year-old All-Stars will take on Jackson Parish today at 6 p.m.

Guest editorial by Alberto SoliñoPenetration testing is a highly scientific, metrics-driven approach to IT security that has been in practice since almost the dawn of the modern computing era when programmers first began conducting organized tests, or "hacks" of their own, or others' technologies to test their performance and reliability.
Penetration testing is a highly scientific, metrics-driven approach to IT security that has been in practice since almost the dawn of the modern computing era when programmers first began conducting organized tests, or "hacks" of their own, or others' technologies to test their performance and reliability.
From nearly the start, as developers attempted to assess the tolerance levels of their technologies to different forms of input, and some user organizations, including governments, did the same, they realized that this process was helpful not only in terms of allowing them to design more stable products, but also in securing these technologies to prevent them from being broken or improperly accessed.
As government agencies and businesses that handle proprietary and sensitive data continued to adopt computing more broadly, and demand that these systems were hardened against undesired interruption or accessibility, both by their developers and internal IT security staff, the formal process of penetration testing was born.
Decades later, penetration testing stands as one of the most established and demonstrative methods for gauging the security posture of nearly any type of software program imaginable. However, based largely on misconceptions about the specific techniques involved in the process and the types of skill sets needed to practice it, pen testing remains something of a mystery to the uninitiated.
Penetration testing, and its own subsequent technological offspring – automated penetration testing, is increasingly being recognized by mainstream authorities – including numerous standards bodies and leading IT security practitioners – as the most effective manner of calculating a system or organization's level of IT-based risk and garnering actionable data to drive management of those vulnerabilities.
What follows is a listing of some of the leading myths and misconceptions that have been applied to penetration testing, and the reasons why they are now – or never were – valid.
1. Pen testing is unsafe from an overall security and reliability standpoint.
While it is true that when conducted improperly or insufficiently managed, penetration testing may have unintended consequences, this is a matter of its practical application, not the process of testing itself. Pen testing can be an intrusive exercise and sometimes has unexpected consequences, but when carried out with the necessary level of planning and due diligence, and using products that have been vetted using thorough QA processes, it's as safe as any other form of security or systems assessment. In particular, by arming those IT staffers responsible for performing tests with commercial-grade solutions that have themselves been tested to ensure that their exploits can be trusted to execute only a controlled set of actions, and that they will not have any unexpected or residual effects on the assets being tested, organizations can feel confident about carrying out assessment on live, production systems without generating unexpected side-effects.
2. The only way to conduct thorough pen testing is via outsourced services.
Penetration testing originated as an internal process for technology developers, government agencies and other organizations as a method of targeted self-assessment; only after the process began being consumed by larger numbers of organizations who did not have internal security expertise, or whom were forced to seek third-party assessments by regulators, did it become a practice delivered widely by consulting services providers. With the emergence of automated penetration testing software, many organizations – with widely varying levels of internal expertise – have moved to more broadly embrace pen testing as a central element of their internal IT security and risk management programs, including as a means of preparation for audits. In addition to having the flexibility to perform testing on their own timetable, proponents would also argue that internal testing also allows for assessment without exposing vulnerabilities to third parties.
3. Pen testing always takes a long time.
Like any form of analysis, penetration testing timeframes can vary based on many factors, including the scope of individual projects, the assets being tested, and any other parameters dictated by its practitioners. However, it is not a prerequisite, or even a common rule-of-thumb, that these assessments must encompass lengthy periods of time. Like many other areas of IT, this misconception has been driven in part by the desire of services providers to extend engagements and boost billable hours related to performing tests. The advancement of automated penetration testing solutions has had a dramatic affect on this entire proposition, in particular. In addition to allowing inexperienced testers to conduct assessments, these solutions also automate many manual time-consuming testing tasks, allowing skilled testers to speed their work, from necessary preparatory information gathering to reporting of results.
4. You need experienced staff to conduct extensive pen testing.
Traditionally, formal penetration testing has largely been considered the domain of highly experienced IT security professionals and specialized consultants, but this has changed radically in recent years with the emergence of automated penetration solutions. Today, with improvements in pen testing software and the emergence of products offering everything from pre-test intelligence collection and target selection, through testing itself and even reporting of results, organizations can rapidly begin using this process to help isolate and validate their vulnerabilities. While organizations seeking to run highly customized or independent reviews may still desire for more experienced users or consultants to carry out those specialized projects, many types of pen tests can now be run on a frequent basis by internal IT staff armed with the appropriate solutions.
Based on the type of work that penetration testing involves – the attempted exploitation of security vulnerabilities, most often using the same tactics employed by criminal hackers and malware programs – and the level of confidentiality required in safeguarding assessment results, many people have harbored the notion that testing is a something of a black art, practiced in back rooms by secretive people with highly specialized skills and elevated security clearances. The heavy use of penetration testing among government and military agencies has helped contribute to this perception. However, penetration testing is actually a highly ethical, logical, scientific approach to determining the vulnerability of programs by attempting to exploit their weaknesses just as a real-world attacker would. Today, many mainstream organizations conduct regular pen tests performed by internal IT security staffers who have been trained and certified to carry out the work, or who use automated software solutions to do so.
6. Pen testing results are difficult to understand.
Before the emergence of penetration testing solutions, it may have been valid to conclude that assessment results were often hard to understand, largely based on the customized manner in which individual testers tailored their projects and the results that they sought to achieve. However, with the introduction of automated software programs used to carry out pen tests, some of which include the ability to automatically create detailed summaries of the assessments they complete and the outcomes of those reviews, organizations can get their hands on the valuable strategic security intelligence provided via the process in easy-to-understand formats. And whereas in the past combining results from multiple tests to determine trends was a lengthy manual process, today's solutions allows organizations to garner this type of data rapidly at the push of a button.
7. Pen testing and vulnerability scanning are comparable, versus complementary.
As IT security programs have evolved over time, penetration testing has been included in the range of functions categorized under the general terminology of "vulnerability assessment," which also encompasses practices such as source code review and the use of vulnerability scanners. One offshoot of this development has been that some people mistakenly perceive that penetration testing and vulnerability scanning produce the same types of results, and are comparable. In reality, the two practices are very different, yet almost wholly complementary. Simply put, vulnerability scanners test programs for any type of potential security exposure they can find and produce voluminous results that offer little insight into the severity of those issues or how they might be exploited. Penetration testing shows assessors which vulnerabilities can be exploited by real-world attacks, how they can be exploited, and what level of risk they represent, such as what types of underlying data they may expose and when multiple flaws might be targeted in concert.
8. Pen testing results create new problems for IT security.
Some people familiar with the efficacy of penetration testing in unearthing exploitable vulnerabilities have arrived at the conclusion that the process creates more problems than it is worth, in that it can call-out a wide range of issues that may be difficult to effectively remediate. However, organizations can no longer afford to swear-off a highly productive form of security assessment based on fears of the work it might create, specifically as cyber-criminals are working ceaselessly to discern methods by which to take advantage of the same issues it elevates, and both government and industry regulators will not accept the argument of deniability when organizations are successfully attacked. Pen testing shows organizations which of their vulnerabilities are most available to potential attackers and allows them to prioritize remediation efforts accordingly.
9. It's hard to sell pen testing to management.
Based on some of these preconceived notions about penetration testing, some people maintain the opinion that while it might be effective, the process is too invasive to advocate to either IT or business management, therefore making it impossible to pursue, or to get financial support for. However, unlike many other IT and security programs, pen testing is actually a practice that involves processes, goals and benefits that are easy to explain and defend to leadership. In today's security environment, executives are very concerned with ensuring that hackers and malware attacks cannot take systems offline or steal valuable data, and with meeting regulatory compliance mandates that place legal responsibility for preventing such activities squarely upon their shoulders. Penetration testing is a safe, proactive method of assessing IT security posture in the face of real-world attacks and data theft attempts.
10. Pen testing is a luxury, versus a must-have.
In previous years when penetration testing was a more specialized process, and required the hiring of experienced staffers or outside consultants, the practice was considered a pursuit that was nice to engage in if you could afford it but impractical for many organizations. However, with the emergence of penetration testing solutions that allow organizations to use existing IT staffers to conduct assessments on a regular basis, most organizations can now afford to embrace the practice without adding significant overhead expenses. Further, with the continued evolution of the cyber-crime ecosystem and increased demand from regulators for organizations to become more proactive in securing IT assets, including those guidelines that specifically require pen tests, the process is no longer the domain of a select few but rather a standardized, mainstream best practice that they will soon be expected to incorporate into their regular operations. * Alberto's Soliño director of consulting services at Core Security.

Last in the series of 8v8 3-3-1 positions is the center forward, or striker.
Forwards are the most celebrated players in the team because they are often the ones who score goals. Accuracy, head ability, and ball control are the typical qualities of a forward. A forward does not have to do as much work as the midfield or defense but he must be able to convert when his teammates give him the ball.
Center-forwards (CF) are positioned closest to the opponent's goal. They have two roles: first, they score goals through passes from teammates; second, they distract the defense to give room for the attacking midfielder or winger to attack.
A striker must be brilliant at receiving and controlling the ball, must be strong, and capable of winning the ball in the air. Skills at playing with the back to the goal is a prerequisite.
The opponents in blue have the ball in our zone on our right side. You can see the CF in the center circle in line with their defenders but not offside. If our right fullback is able to win the ball, he can pass up to the right midfielder and then get a sharp pass through the opponents defenders into the space behind them, allowing our striker to run into space and attack the goalkeeper one-on-one, where the odds are strongly against any goalkeeper. As mentioned earlier, control is key for a striker, especially dribbling and shooting while on the run.
When our defense holds and we begin our counter attack, the CF will be in position for a breakout if a through-pass gets made. The striker needs to be aware of his positioning and make sure he's not offside. We had more than a few cases in our first game where our forward was caught offside and it killed our attacks, including one goal called back.
One problem we see a lot is with one-on-one defending when an opponent is bringing the ball into our zone. Too often our defenders will run up and try to stab at the ball, which is absolutely the wrong thing to do. If the attacker has control of the ball, he/she will easily just dribble around the tackle attempt. This leaves our defender doing the splits and unable to recover, meaning now the attacker has one less (or even no one) covering him/her.
What we want to do is pressure and contain the attack, slowing them down and forcing them to one side away from the goal. Remember, the sideline is a defender's teammate. If you can direct an attack toward the side and contain it, there's a good chance the ball will be turned over out of bounds. Otherwise the attacker might have to stop and pass back, or the attacker will make a bad touch and we could win the ball. Either of those three scenarios is a defensive win. Don't try to take the ball unless the attacker makes a bad touch and the ball is loose! The defender MUST be patient in this situation and remember that his job is not to tackle the ball every time, but rather to slow the attack, direct it away from the goal and pressure the attacker into making a bad play or pass back.
As we begin our season, we need to make sure we have the fundamentals in place to play soccer, and it doesn't get any more fundamental than passing the ball to a teammate, and trapping (or receiving) a pass from a teammate. So often a bad pass or bad touch can lose an advantage by either slowing the attack or turning the ball over. We need to be a solid passing and trapping team in order to do anything else.
In this post we'll discuss basic passing and trapping techniques to give the kids an idea of what we're looking for going into the first practice.
In this post we'll focus on the defense, which means the backs and goalkeeper.

A Smashing Cocktail
for St. Patty's Day
Arnaud's Basil Smash from Chris Hannah of Arnaud's in New Orleans, Louisiana. Photo by Christina Oxford.
New Orleans is renowned for its celebrations like Carnivale and Mardi Gras, St. Patrick's Day and Jazz Fest. At the center of the festivities in the Big Easy is an abundance of music, outrageous parades and a thriving food scene. Arnaud's has been a part of the celebrations for almost 100 years since French wine salesmen Arnaud Cazenave opened the doors in 1918 with the goal of serving authentic Creole cuisine. Today, the current owners of Arnaud's, the Casbarian family, now in their fourth generation of ownership, share that same goal. Arnaud's is legendary for their Creole cuisine and impeccable service as well as serving some of the best cocktails in town at the adjoining cocktail bar, French 75. Chris Hannah is at the helm of the cocktail program at French 75. He mixes the classics—a mean Sazerac and French 75—but has also developed a menu awash with inventive concoctions including his cocktail for toasting the luck of the Irish, Arnaud's Basil Smash.
"Smashes are generally refreshing and since it is expected to be mild down here in New Orleans, the style of the cocktail is fitting, as is the color: green. I chose an Irish Whisky, for obvious reasons, which coupled with the other ingredients makes for a balanced main spirited cocktail," Hannah says.

Dolphin how much money? For this question we spent 11 hours on research (Wikipedia, Youtube, we read books in libraries, etc) to review the post.
Total Net Worth at the moment 2019 year – is about $120,4 Million.
:How tall is Dolphin – 1,83m.
Dolphins are cetacean mammals closely related to whales and porpoises. There are almost forty species of dolphin in 17 genera. They vary in size from 1.2 m (4 ft) and 40 kg (90 lb) (Mauis dolphin), up to 9.5 m (30 ft) and 10 tonnes (9.8 long tons, 11 short tons) (the orca or killer whale). They are found worldwide, mostly in the shallower seas of the continental shelves and are carnivores, eating mostly fish and squid. The family Delphinidae, the largest in the order Cetacea, evolved relatively recently, about ten million years ago during the Miocene.

So she sent him to Winchester College, where his sporting talents were recognised and he became captain of the cricket team amongst other things but not once did his mother show any interest at all and eventually he gave up. She constantly criticised and slated him and she didn't reward him with praise when he got top grades in academic subjects, she just told him he could do better. As a result he never felt good enough and despite trying there was nothing he could do to get her approval or any unconditional love. So he developed a narcissistic personality disorder and at the age of 12 began to drown his pain in drugs and alcohol.

The Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R) Use for Psychopath Diagnosis — A Study of a Sample of Italian Female Offenders Deemed a Danger to Society
After attending this presentation, attendees will recognize characteristics of Italian female offenders deemed a danger to society. This presentation will impact the forensic science community by identifying any psychopathological and phenotypic gender-specific factors related to psychopathy. In Italy, the treatment of mentally ill offenders found not guilty (or partially guilty) by reason of insanity and at risk for recidivism ("a danger to society") is entrusted to the Judicial Psychiatric Hospital (OPG). The OPG is a high-security hospital, directly managed for more than 100 years by the Department of Justice and at present managed by the Department of Health. Their cultural and treatment profile has been maintained even after the reform law on assistance to the mentally ill in 1978, which in Italy determined the closure of psychiatric hospitals and the establishment of a community psychiatric-assistance model; however, a recent law ratified the closure of the OPGs, scheduled for March 31, 2015, and planned the transfer of the patients from the OPGs to community facilities located in their own regions. The six Italian OPGs accommodated approximately 1,500 patients, mostly men. The OPG of Castiglione delle Stiviere in northern Italy is the only one that admitted women; all women who have committed a crime on Italian territory and are at risk for recidivism are sent to the OPG of Castiglione. From this unique trait of the Castiglione OPG, came the idea for research on possible gender-specific factors related to psychopathy. The lower prevalence of psychopathy in women than in men may be due to several causes: sampling errors; errors related to gender differences in assessment tools; and differences in the phenotypic expression of antisocial behavior due to biological, cultural, and social variables. Several studies have reported a significant correlation, more prevalent in women than in men, between psychopathy and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). It has been suggested that BPD in women represents the phenotypic expression of psychopathy.

What if God was only kind to us when we expressed appreciation? What if He said, "That person wasn't grateful for the last breath I gave them. I won't give them another." If we only had tomorrow what we were thankful for today, how much would we have?
Jesus said, "The Father is kind to the unthankful." (Luke 6:35) Right before He told us to be merciful because God is merciful. God-honoring kindness is based on the nature of the God who gave it to us, not on the nature of those with whom we share it.
Kindness. The gift none of us deserve, but all need.

The instant New York Times best-seller.
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.
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.
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.
This book complements my other favourite book 'The Power of Habit' by Charles Duhigg.
While 'The Power of Habit' answers the 'how' and 'why' of habit change and accompanies research, 'Atomic habits' shows us how to apply these changes with much needed everyday examples.
This book is basically a much needed sequel to the above mentioned book, complete with an instruction manual on how to initiate and stick with habit changes, along with other resources for a common person.
I'm glad I bought it and heard it start to finish.
I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook, it was the first audiobook I finished in less than a week without getting bored. I recommend this to anyone who wants to understand how we can make tiny changes to become great in every aspect of our lives. A must listen especially for the younger generations!
I can't recommend this book enough.
James Clear gives a you a no nonsense approach to truly getting more from life.
It was a pleasure to hear twice. And I'm sure I'll revisit it again in the future.
Pleasantly surprised not all principals were entirely obvious. And those that were came along with practical application suggestions. Really enjoyed it. More importantly, I know I will benefit from this knowledge. Each chapter is summarized at the end but still found gems within the text. I'll be going online to access see of the tools. Check this out. you won't regret it.
I really enjoyed this book as it was just as practical as it was informative. I really enjoyed going a bit deeper into the theory and having actionable steps attached. Well worth the time invested and a huge thanks to the Author.
Awesome nuggets of wisdom and actionable items.
There is too much great insight in this book to mention. I am putting these tactics to work in order to multiply my effectiveness.
Great book with real steps to better habits!
if you liked/loved the compound effect by Darren Hardy, you'll love this book too. It suggests real steps to help you get better habits in your life and acknowledge that it won't be easy. It gives good examples of other people who have done it before you and how they did it. I really enjoyed it and will probably listen to it a couple more times.
I bought this as an audiobook and have listened to it twice and plan on listening to it more!
The knowledge and techniques of implementing small life changing habits are mixed with science of human behavior. I not not only learned the how, but the why.
I also learned how to create better habits and to stick with them. How to work with my nature, not against it. How to make small changes in my daily habits to reach goals, reduce my work stress, create healthy eating and exercise routines and build stronger relationships.
I believe anybody could benefit from reading or listening to this book at least once. However I think once you've listen to it once I'm sure you will want to read or listen to it again!
Treasure trove of performance improvement methods!
James Clear shares with us his many years of research and exploration of the effective and proven methods behind his massive personal success. Learn how very small habit changes, James calls Atomic Habits, are the secret to produce continual incremental performance improvement. I believe everyone would benefit from something in this book!
Changing it fast makes you fail on doing on and on but making it slowly and little by little helps and tracking it feels motivated and great.
Excellente narration. efficace et précis. a lire avec les autres livres sur les habitudes qui posent les bases scientifiques. ce livre est un bouquin d'application très efficace.
Went through twice sequentially - notations the second time. This summarizes the major topics of many of the books I've really enjoyed (Peak, Power of Habit) into a usable form.
Break habits into small parts, and focus on not breaking the chain. Seems so obvious, but it really shines in this format. Examples of both positive(carrot) and negative(stick) ways to apply the principles.
Don't set goals, focus on habits that you want to incorporate.
Survivor bias - everyone who wins a gold medal has it as a goal, but so do all of the other competitors who didn't win. Every day you don't achieve the goal is a bit of a failure. Not so if the goal is the good habit itself.
So - instead of losing weight, focus on the habit of not eating between meals, and then on meal composition. I'm the kind of guy who doesn't snack. I'm the kind of guy who eats healthy. The weight will happen.
In the weight room - if you add only 1 lb per week, that's 52 lbs in a year. That certainly seems doable. Focus on the tiny habits.
A must read for anyone interested in making long lasting changes.
This book not only helped me learn how to create lasting habits, but it helped me to give myself some grace over the fact that I haven't been able to maintain many of my good habits up until now. I have spent years and years becoming so depressed over the person I've become; mourning the loss of the driven, accomplished teenager I once was, and wondering "how did I turn into this?" I've spent way too much time thinking that I was just becoming lazy, unproductive, and incapable of success - wondering why I didn't have the grit and willpower I did when I was younger. But this book clearly explained the science of human behavior in a way that made me realize - I'm just like everyone else, EVEN SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE. The difference is that they know how to create situations for themselves to allow themselves to succeed. Now I know how, and I can't wait to get to work. Thank you, James, for this brilliant book, and for being the light I've been desperately searching for to pull me out of this dark place I've been in. I can't tell you how much it means to me!
This book was well written by James and presented in a way that anyone who applies the techniques to adopt good habits and stop bad habits can accomplish whatever they set their mind too. Some of the key takeaways for me are to start very small, whether it's doing 1 pushup on the way to doing 100, write for 5 minutes if you have trouble with writers block, start meditating for 1 min at a time if you cant sit still. All in all a fast read with very useful information.
I haven't even finished yet and I have used some of the information. If you want to begin a new habit or stop an old habit, look no further. The book is short and concise. The subject matter is very clear an easily understood. The author tells where to go for downloads, but I wish there was a PDF download with Audible. That is the only problem I have encountered so far. I think you will need the downloads. As a low vision user, the easier the process is, the better for me. I seldom do a review; so, you know I highly recommend this one.
I like the fact that author read his book. He read clearly and is easy to follow. I devoured this book in two days and will now focus on implementing he's strategies. I love the included templates. I will most definitely listen this again during this week while I'm working on building my habit system.
I'll state this, this book should be read, then studied. I'll probably read this book twice a year until my life habits are conducive to the life I desire to live. many times we try to change but life gets in the way. the author provides a framework to overcome the mental aspect towards establishing the habits you want.
Great book on habits. It contains information on how to create habits, keep them, and break them.
I was skeptical about another habit book but this contains original content.
My biggest gripe with the book is that the author constantly asks you to reference his website for more information. It often makes the book feel incomplete. I don't like when it feels like a book is attempting to build an audience for another platform.
That being said I still recommend the book.
I am only about halfway through this book (just bought it yesterday), but I couldn't help put in at least a partial review. I absolutely LOVE reading this! James Clear has a phenomenal understanding of human behavior, and specifically how our habits define our identities. For me personally, he has offered a completely new way for me to understand WHY I continue my bad habits when in my head, I know they're bad, and why I find it so difficult to start good habits. Furthermore, he offers very specific strategies for how to change those habits so I can make myself into the person I know I should be. It's not about "will power," "motivation," "perseverance," or any of those traits we so often attribute to people who kick bad habits and start good ones. Instead, it's all about behaving in a way most consistent with the person we wish to be.
As James Clear says, our habits are actually neither GOOD nor BAD. Instead, they are either consistent or inconsistent with our desired identities. If I see myself as a healthy and successful professional and happy father and husband, then I have to closely examine each of my current habits and ask myself if those behaviors are consistent with how I'd like to identify myself. If they are not, then I need to modify those habits. The specifics of how to go about doing that is where I am in the book now. I'll update this review in a few weeks (or maybe months), after I have finished the book and had a chance to try out the strategies. But for now, I feel like I'm having an epiphany, and I haven't felt this way about a book since...well...ever. Amazingly, after one day of reading only half of his book, Mr. Clear, a man who doesn't know me at all, has shown me more about my own behavior than any psychologist or therapist I've ever met in my lifetime.
It's a great work, with a point of view more practical then the usual habit books I ever read and this is a compliment. If you want something more profound and with more scientific data you should read something like The Power of Habit, because this one is more a step by step to Implement and change the habits you want. The autor made some really good and unexpected appointments. A really nice audio book overall.
One of the best habit books out there. But the author makes reference to an atomichabits.com repeatedly in his writing and it does not appear to exist! When you search for it you end up at jamesclear.com which is not the same. So some of the resources he mentions using are no where to be found.
