《Atomic Habits》《原子习惯》 英文读书会 bookclub, Language meetup
交流无国界,友谊亦无边,英缘际会,语挚情深, 欢迎参加2026年1月25日城市部落英文读书会,社交英语角 weekly Language exchange & bookclub meetup Topic discussion主题讨论: 《Atomic Habits》《原子习惯》 英文读书会 Atomic Habits: The life-changing million-copy [#1]() bestseller。。A NEW YORK TIMES AND SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER,或许成功不是源自偶尔的壮举,而是来自日复一日微小习惯的重复。 ⚡️ 为什么改变总是难以持续? 也许,你只是还没把习惯“变成自己的一部分”。本周,我们以《Atomic Habits》为起点,探索微小行动如何撬动长期自我进化——不止读书,更在对话中实践“习惯的复利”。 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. 参加请扫码报名: Venue: People Square in Shanghai 上海人民广场 Cost: 早鸟小红书转发分享活动公益免费,空降票50元/人,. Date & time: Jan 25th 上午 10:00-12:3 'Atomic Habits is a step-by-step manual for changing routines.' Books of the Month, Financial Times,'James Clear has spent years honing the art and studying the science of habits. This engaging, hands-on book is the guide you need to break bad routines and make good ones.' Adam Grant, author of Originals。。These small changes will have a revolutionary effect on your career, your relationships, and your life. 《原子习惯》《Atomic Habits》,量变引起质变,微小习惯改变巨大命运。改善是暂时的,除非它们成为你的一部分。习惯是自我提高的复利。从长远来看,每天进步1%的效果不容小觑。 你的身份来自你的习惯。每个行动都是你在投票给你想成为的人 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. 作者詹姆斯·克利尔用比较严谨的数据,揭示了习惯的力量。在这本书籍中,教我们如何克服惰性,在微小中慢慢改变,小小的改变最终可能改变平庸的自己。 作者以各种例子说明,每日清晨按下闹钟,刷牙洗脸,喝杯水……这些看似微不足道的行为正以一种几乎察觉不到的方式塑造着我们的健康、事业和人际关系。让我们以一种细腻的思维重新思考这些微小习惯的力量。 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. “Atomic Habits” is a breakthrough in the skill of making tiny, gradual adjustments. James Clear presents the idea of atomic habits — tiny, seemingly insignificant behaviors that, when added together, have the capacity to completely change people’s lives. The little choices we make on a daily basis that ultimately determine our fate are more important than the large ones. The book makes a point of saying that our habits as a whole, rather than a single, significant act, define who we are. Little habits like going to the gym, reading one page a day, or choosing the stairs over the elevator may not seem like much, but they add up to a big difference over time. The 1% Rule: James Clear presents the concept of the 1% rule, which promotes appreciating the value of small gains. It represents a significant shift from the idea that the only way to succeed is to make drastic changes. Rather, “Atomic Habits” suggests that striving for 1% improvement each day can result in notable and long-lasting advancements in areas such as personal relationships, profession, and fitness over time. I could really relate to this idea. Realizing that I don’t have to muster superhuman strength every day is freeing; steady, incremental progress is the secret to long-term success. The Four Laws of Behavior Change: Cue, Craving, Response, and Reward are the Four Laws of Behavior Change upon which “Atomic Habits” is built. These laws serve as the foundation for the development of habits, offering an organized process for creating and breaking bad habits. Recognizing the signs that set off our habits, developing desires for favorable results, planning deliberate reactions, and savoring the results create a feedback loop that reinforces both negative and positive behaviors. With skill, Clear dissects this psychological dance and provides useful advice on how to positively rewire our habit loops. Identity-Based Habits: By supporting identity-based habits, the book offers a significant paradigm change. Clear urges readers to take on the identity of the person they want to be rather than becoming fixated on particular objectives. Becoming healthy is more important than reducing weight. This change in emphasis from results to identity modifies the story we tell about our behaviors, strengthening and authenticating them. For someone who has always struggled to stick to strict goals, the idea of identity-based behaviors was a welcome change of perspective. Being is more important than just doing. “Atomic Habits” explores how the environment affects behavior and exhorts readers to consciously create an environment that encourages the development of healthy habits. We may make desirable behaviors more difficult to engage in and unpleasant behaviors more difficult to follow by changing our surroundings. Stacking habits is another clever strategy that the book presents. We make use of associations by integrating new habits into preexisting routines. This approach simplifies the incorporation of constructive behaviors into our life, much like constructing a tower of habits. Breaking Bad Habits: James Clear takes a practical approach to overcoming the obstacle of breaking harmful behaviors. He presents the concept of habit reversal, which is recognizing the cues and rewards associated with negative habits and substituting them with positive ones. This recognizes that breaking old habits is hard and instead emphasizes substitution. For someone who battled indolence and aimless browsing, the habit reversal idea offered a concrete means to reorganize my brain connections and focus my efforts on more worthwhile endeavors. **Event schedule活动环节安排:** 本活动参与人群定位为上海工作和生活的喜欢英语、热爱交流分享的青年白领,及高校师生。 Other Schedule 其它环节: Heads up words guessing欢乐猜词, MBTI自我介绍 What is your personality, Never have I ever我有你没有, 英文私董会 Mentor for each other.

For someone who battled indolence and aimless browsing, the habit reversal idea offered a concrete means to reorganize my brain connections and focus my efforts on more worthwhile endeavors. **Event schedule活动环节安排:** 本活动参与人群定位为上海工作和生活的喜欢英语、热爱交流分享的青年白领,及高校师生。 Other Schedule 其它环节: Heads up words guessing欢乐猜词, MBTI自我介绍 What is your personality, Never have I ever我有你没有, 英文私董会 Mentor for each other.

Not at all. If you plan to read or have read it, that’s great; if you haven’t touched it, you’re still more than welcome to join. Come and meet like-minded people and connect over the topic as well as the book. **How can I contribute to the discussion if I haven’t read the book?** The book is simply a conversation starter - our discussions often branch out into related themes, personal experiences and broader topics of interest. Our gathering is more about socialising and engaging in decent conversations with book lovers, rather than a formal seminar. **Can I also discuss my own fav book or the book I recently read?** Absolutely! Our gatherings are all about open conversations, and we’d love to hear your thoughts on any book that’s been captivating to you. **Is this group open to everyone?** Yes - this is a friendly and inclusive group, welcoming everyone regardless of gender, sexuality, or background. The event is designed to make it easy to meet and connect with fellow book lovers in our community. **What if I'm shy about speaking in front of the group?** No pressure! You're welcome to participate in the way that feels most comfortable for you. Whether you share your views or just listen, your presence is valued. A lot of people come alone - so don't be shy!!

POSTPONED-Profs & Pints Northern Virginia: Satanic Panics
POSTPONED-Profs & Pints Northern Virginia: Satanic Panics
**In response to inclement weather this talk has been rescheduled for March 1st, with tickets for that date available at** [https://www.ticketleap.events/tickets/profsandpints/nv-satanic-panics2 ](https://www.ticketleap.events/tickets/profsandpints/nv-satanic-panics2). **Anyone who purchased tickets to attend this talk on January 25th will be getting a refund in the next week to ten days.** [Profs and Pints Northern Virginia](https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc) presents: **“Satanic Panics,”** a look at waves of fear of demonic activity as an American tradition, with Luxx Mishou, cultural historian and former instructor at the U.S. Naval Academy and area community colleges. The 1980s found the United States gripped by fear of Satanic cults targeting children. They were believed to be corrupting young ones in daycare centers and tempting teens through subliminal messages on heavy metal albums or through the quiet inclusion of demonic rituals in role-playing games. Satanic serial killers supposedly stalked the suburbs. Doctors helped patients uncover what were claimed to be repressed memories of ritualistic satanic abuse. Parents, police, and politicians were urged to protect impressionable youths from both moral and physical danger. With Satanic cults deemed to be a real and material threat, it was a frightening time for everyone, including those who suddenly came under suspicion for doing evil deeds. Then, suddenly, it all faded from public consciousness, just as surely as did eighties fads such mullet haircuts, leg warmers, and Cabbage Patch Kids. Why did it all start? Why did it stop? And has this happened before or since? Hear such questions tackled by Luxx Mishou, a cultural historian and media specialist who has long researched the devious and villainous in cultural artifacts. She’ll discuss moral panics as a longstanding cultural tradition, with each new one stemming from fear of cultural shifts and shaped by the time and place where it occurred. Among the panics we’ll look into are the Red Scare of the 1950s and the public response to the gruesome 1969 murders committed by the Manson Family. Delving into the 1980s panic, Mishou will describe how it began with the 1980 publication of psychiatrist Lawrence Pazder’s memoir *Michelle Remembers*, detailing the suppressed memories of ritualistic abuse reportedly suffered by a patient. As that book quickly became a best seller, its ideas saturated American culture. A California daycare center became the focus of a three-year investigation, followed by three years of trials, based on allegations that its owner had engaged in secret ritualistic abuse of the children in its care. Mishou will lead you through the media that convinced the public that devil worshipers were among them, and she’ll talk about how reactions to imagined threats can have very real social costs. (Doors: $17, or $15 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. The talk starts 30 minutes later.) Image by Canva.
Rosie's Farm Sanctuary Volunteer Day
Rosie's Farm Sanctuary Volunteer Day
Join us for a volunteer day helping the animals at Rosie's Farm Sanctuary in Potomac, MD. Before attending this event, you must sign a liability waiver. Please use this link https://waiver.smartwaiver.com/w/b5nky2tonaovjqgjn6ap5p/web/ The chores you will be doing are physical. You will be working on big projects that require many volunteers like removing old bedding, sanitizing stals and replacing with new bedding, along with the daily clean up chores. Wear boots and clothing you don’t mind getting dirty. Feel free to bring a filled water bottle. On sunny days a brimmed hat and sunglasses may be helpful. Sunscreen is also suggested. Please do not bring any food or yummy-smelling items on your body or in your bag as our animals love to eat and are on special diets. Out of respect for the animals, we do not allow any food with animal products to be consumed at Rosie’s Farm Sanctuary. Please ensure that all edible items are plant-based (no dairy, no cheese, no cow’s milk ice cream, no meat, no fish, no eggs). Thank you for your cooperation and respect for this. It is very important to us. There is a gift shop where you can browse and warm up during the event. Please post your pictures and tag Rosie’s Farm Sanctuary and Rockville Vegans! We are limited to 30 volunteers, so please change your RSVP if you cannot attend. If there is interest, we may go out to eat in one of our local vegan restaurants afterward.
