And then they dig into some real strategies about how to make that happen. In this first episode, they talk about identity-based habits and how we can become the architects of our habits, not the victims of them. And it’s interesting because most of the time when we do a two-part series, we get into the conversation and then we decide, “Oh, we need to have one more episode,” but Brené knew before we even got started with James that she had so many questions she wanted to ask him that we just asked him from the beginning, “Can we do two episodes?” and he was all in. Y’all, I took literally almost six pages of notes during this episode. James shares his story with us and gives us some more insight into how he develops his deep understanding of the importance of consistency over intensity when establishing habits to last.

So many of us have read Atomic Habits, and it’s so good.īG: But in this episode, we’re going to get to meet the man behind the book. This is part one of a two-part series that Brené is doing with James Clear on habits and his book, Atomic Habits, which has sold more than 5 million copies worldwide and has been translated into more than 50 languages. More to come, I think we’re going to talk more about the book on the podcast in the upcoming weeks, but I did get to sneak away so that I could introduce the podcast for you this week. It’s really a culmination of Brené’s work over the last 25 years. Bryan and Cookie have been here trucking boxes up and down the stairs, getting ready for launch, and we could not be more excited about this book, y’all. We got four pallets full of our new book, Atlas of the Heart, that comes out November 30th. We’re still not fully back, but there are a few of us here from time to time, and this week we got the most special delivery. I’m up here at the office, I was just going to start with a little sneak peak into what’s been going on with us this week. Barrett Guillen: Hi everyone, I’m Barrett Guillen, and this is Dare to Lead.
