Atomic Habits (Bengali) (Paperback, Bengali, by James Clear (Author), Pratik Kumar Mukherjee (Translator))

Clear argues that true, lasting behavior change comes from changing who you believe you are (your identity), not just what you do (your outcomes).Goal: The goal is not to read a book, but to become a reader.Process: Every small action you take is a "vote" for the person you wish to become, gradually reinforcing your new identity.2.

Forget Goals, Focus on Systems11Clear shifts the focus from achieving goals (which are momentary) to building systems (which are continuous processes).12 The system is the process that leads to the result.13The Bengali translation by Pratik Kumar Mukherjee makes these powerful, science-backed systems and strategies highly accessible to the Bengali-speaking audience, empowering them to overcome procrastination and achieve long-term success through consistency.
