James Clear grew up dreaming of being a professional baseball player. But after suffering a serious head injury from being hit in the face with a baseball bat in high school, he had to re-group and figure out how best to play the cards he had been dealt. Thanks to his diligent work ethic, he rebounded to become a college pitcher before embarking on a career as a writer, blogger, best-selling author, and expert on habits. In today’s episode, James will share his story, the rocky road to his bestselling book Atomic Habits, and how you can break your worst habits.
