Atomic Habits | James Clear

If you want to start a new habit, it means that you have a new challenge. If you need a supporter for this challenge, your main supporter might be a book. And if this might be a book, this will probably be this book: Atomic Habits, by James Clear.

In this blog post, you will find more than the average highlights that I share because this book is full of great insights. Here are just some of these awesome quotes which will make you take action.

Tiny Changes, Remarkable Results

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.

No Way No Way, Do Not Say, No Way No Way (biography) | Şenes Erzik

I recently completed listening to Turkish Football Federation’s Honorary President, FIFA and UEFA Honorary Member Şenes Erzik's biography book "Don't Say No, No Way" on storytel. Cüneyt Kıran performed the reading of the biography which lasts for more than twelve hours. I learned Erzik's important anecdotes not only about his life but also about the world of football in his biography, which accompanied me while working and walking.

In his biography, Şenes Erzik sends a message that we must be rational for the rest of our lives without giving up. In other words, he tells his reader not to do what we can't do, but to measure it well.

I think it was his first turning point when he took the Robert College exams for high school education with the encouragement and support of his older brother Necati Erzik at the age of 14. The universal education he received in a respected school, the strong connections and network he built, was obviously a good investment for him.
