Book Review: Atomic Habits

 THE PHENOMENAL INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER: OVER 1O MILLION COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDE



Transform your life with tiny changes in behaviour, starting now.

People think that when you want to change your life, you need to think big. But world-renowned habits expert James Clear has discovered another way. He knows that real change comes from the compound effect of hundreds of small decisions: doing two push-ups a day, waking up five minutes early, or holding a single short phone call.

He calls them atomic habits.

In this ground-breaking book, Clears reveals exactly how these minuscule changes can grow into such life-altering outcomes. He uncovers a handful of simple life hacks (the forgotten art of Habit Stacking, the unexpected power of the Two Minute Rule, or the trick to entering the Goldilocks Zone), and delves into cutting-edge psychology and neuroscience to explain why they matter. Along the way, he tells inspiring stories of Olympic gold medalists, leading CEOs, and distinguished scientists who have used the science of tiny habits to stay productive, motivated, and happy.

These small changes will have a revolutionary effect on your career, your relationships, and your life.

Book Review 

1. Don't set Goals : Writer kehte he ki goal set karne ki bajay ek system pe focus karna chaiye
Goals set krna achi bat he lekin us goal ko achieve karne k liye system ko behtar banana padega jo hame us goal tak pahuchayega.
Agar British Cycling team ki bat kare to gold medal jeetna to unka goal shuru re raha tha, lekin Dave ne jab system ko better banaya, to goal apne ap achieve ho gaya.
Maan lijiye apka room bikhra pada he. Ap ek goal set krte ho ki mujhe room clean karna hee to ek bar room clean ho jayega, lekin agar ap apni chijo ko sahi jagah rkhne ki adat bana lo to apka kamra kabhi bikhra milegha hi nai.

2 – Change your Identity :
Apni buri adato ko change krne ke liye hame adto ko chang karne s pehle apne aap ko change karna ki jrurt hoti he .
Hamari adte hamari identity ko follow krti he .
Example k liye –
Man lijiye ek insan cigarette chodne ki koshish krta he . Is douran jab use koi cigarette offer karta he to vo ye kahta he “ nahi yar, me cigg chodne ki kosis kar raha hu’
Usnea bhi tak apni identity nahi badli. Vo apne ap ko abhi bhi smoker manta he.
Lekin, agar vo ye kahe ki “ nahi yar, me cigg nahi pita” is se vo apni identity change kar leta he. Ab vo apne ap ko non smokere consider karta he . This new identity motivates that person to stick with it.

3 – Change your Environment -
Hamare sath akshar esa hota h ki ham kitchen me jate to paani pine k liye, lekin hamari nazar chips k packet pe padti he or ham use khane lagte he .
Hairani ki baat ye he ki hame na to bhookh lagi thi or na hi chips khane ki ichha hui thi.
Malls vale yahi technique use krte he, mehange or profitable products racks me upar or ankho ki range me rakhi jate he jo customer ko easily notice ho jate he .
And chances are that customers in products ko jrurt na hote hue bhi kharid lete he.
Isi technique se ham bhi kisi bhi habit ko abopt kar skte he ya kisi bad habit ko chord bhi skte he.
Fruits jyada khanee h ? to fruit basket ko vaha rkho jaha ap apna din ka sabs jyada time spnd krte ho. Jab fruits apki ankho k samne rahnge to ap automatically unhe consume krne lag jaoge.
Padhai krt krte distract hote h to padhai k liy alag room, ya room me alag table ko study zone bana do. Yani padhai bed pe nhi usi enviorment m kroge, to apka mind kam distract hoga qki usko pata h k aap study zone m ho.

4. Don’t run for the best: Ek choti si interesting si story share krta hu. Florida University ke ek professor ne apne photography students ko 2 groups me divide kiya. Pehle group ko yeh challenge diya ki unko pure semester jyada se jyada photos submit karne he , 100 photos submit krne vale ko A grade, 90 vale ko B.
Or dusre group ko challenge diya to submit only 1 photo but that has to be the perfect one. Jiska photo sabse perfect hoga usko A grade, or us se kam vale ko B grade milega.

Interesting.
At the end of the semester saare best photos surprisingly first group se aye.
Aap bhi soch rahe honge k esa kese hua, dusra group jisne pura semester ek photo ko perfect krne me lagaya unke photos best rank me q nahi aye ?

Because jaha dusra group ek hi photo ko perfect banana me laga raha, pehle group ne jab bahot sare photos click kiye to isi ke sath unki skills bhi enhance hoti rahi. Vo har photo me experiment karte rahe or apni hi mistakes se sikhte rahe.

Agar apko business krna he ya startup krna he or best idea ya best opportunity k liye ruke he to ap kabhi start hi nahi kar paynege,
Jo bhi idea he jesi bhi opportunity he uspe jab mehnat ki jayegi to vo hi best ban jayega.

Book Review - Rich Dad Poor Dad

"Rich Dad Poor Dad" is a personal finance book written by Robert Kiyosaki, which challenges the traditional views of financial success and offers a unique perspective on the importance of financial education.


The book revolves around the lessons Kiyosaki learned from his "rich dad" (his best friend's father) and "poor dad" (his biological father) who had two very different approaches to money management. Through anecdotes and personal experiences, Kiyosaki highlights the value of financial literacy and how it can lead to greater financial freedom and security.

One of the most significant takeaways from the book is the idea that it's not about how much money you make, but rather how much money you keep and how well you invest it. Kiyosaki emphasizes the importance of investing in assets that generate passive income, such as rental properties, stocks, and businesses. He also stresses the need to avoid liabilities that drain your finances, such as credit card debt and car payments.

Another key lesson is the value of taking calculated risks and embracing failure as a learning opportunity. Kiyosaki encourages readers to think outside the box and to take calculated risks in order to achieve financial success.

While the book has been criticized for oversimplifying complex financial concepts and promoting a "get rich quick" mentality, it nonetheless serves as an excellent starting point for anyone looking to improve their financial literacy and mindset.

Overall, "Rich Dad Poor Dad" is a thought-provoking and inspiring book that challenges conventional wisdom about money and provides practical advice for achieving financial freedom. Whether you're just starting out on your financial journey or looking to improve your existing financial situation, this book is definitely worth a read.

International Conference on Multidisciplinary Research (ICMR) 2023

International Conference on Multidisciplinary Research (ICMR) 2023 will bring together academics and industry practitioners from a wide range of disciplines and backgrounds (including robotics, engineering, AI, computer science, social science, humanities, design, and law). Defining autonomous systems as systems involving software applications, machines, and people, which are able to take actions with little or no human supervision, the workshop will explore different definitions and individual aspects of trust from a multidisciplinary perspective. We are interested in several factors contributing to the trustworthiness of autonomous systems, which include but not limited to the following: robustness and resilience in dynamic and uncertain environments; the assurance of the design and operation of autonomous systems through verification and validation processes; the confidence the systems inspire as they evolve their functionality, their explainability, accountability, and understandability to a diverse set of users; defences against attacks on the systems, users, and the environment they are deployed in; governance and the regulation of their design and operation; and the consideration of human values and ethics in their development and use.


Trust is a multi-dimensional issue and is conceptualised differently by a range of disciplines. Hence, we invite novel contributions (short and regular papers with 2-4 and 6 pages respectively) as well as already published journal/conference papers covering a wide set of topics that will be attractive to both technical and non-technical audiences:

  • Methodologies to certify autonomous systems
  • Public perception of autonomous systems
  • Explainable and Interpretable AI solutions for real-world applications
  • Safety and security of autonomous systems
  • Trustworthy and resilient human-machine teaming
  • Regulation
  • Notions of trust in autonomous systems
  • Responsible Research and Innovation for trustworthy AI and autonomous systems
  • Transparency of AI systems
  • System of humans
