Bar crawls can be a fun and exciting way to explore a new city or nightlife scene, but they can also be challenging if you're not prepared. Here are some tips to help you survive a bar crawl: Read The Communication Beforehand: we will send out information to you via email before the Crawl to know where and when to go to check in and register. Arrive On Time: If you arrive late to registration you might miss out on some of the fun. Pace Yourself: It's essential to pace yourself and drink responsibly during a bar crawl. Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water can help you stay hydrated and reduce the risk of a hangover the next day and help with your overconsumption of alcohol during the Crawl. Eat Beforehand: Eating a substantial meal before the bar crawl can help absorb alcohol and prevent you from getting too drunk too quickly. Dress Comfortably: Wear comfortable shoes and clothing that allows you to move freely and stay cool. Stay Safe: Stick together with your group, and make sure to have a designated driver or plan for transportation at the end of the night. Conclusion In summary, a bar crawl is an event where a group of people visit multiple bars or pubs in a single night. And it can be a great time as you travel from bar to bar. Now that you know what the bar crawl experience is all about, you can make your crawling experience even more fun by join us

《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.

Frequently asked questions:
**Do I have to finish the book to attend**?
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!!

'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.

**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.

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.

### Review
"A wonderful book."―Sam Harris, Making Sense with Sam Harris
“a fun introduction to a number of debates… Mr. Koch’s book provokes questions… and counterarguments, but that’s what gives it life.” ―The Wall Street Journal
“Easily the most current, thorough, and helpful exploration of consciousness available. Koch’s light, simple, yet authoritative writing style will appeal to general audiences as well as scientists and researchers. An essential, highly recommended purchase.”―Library Journal
“magisterial… charming, sometimes beautiful, and almost always illuminating”
―Science Magazine
“an impressive and sometimes exuberant work, showcasing decades of [Koch’s] research”―New Scientist
“Koch’s adept use of analogies and entertaining anecdotes — complete with his own near-death experience and psychedelic drug trips — make the book a compelling and surprisingly light read.” ―Science News
“undeniably compelling… a smoothly written must-read for anyone interested in a detailed introduction to the relationship between the brain, consciousness, and transformative experiences”
―Ars Technica
“Expertly weaving in personal experience with science that few, if any, can speak more authoritatively about, Koch leads us on an amazing journey of consciousness—from birth to death. Deeply personal and infinitely digestible, Then I Am Myself the World is a remarkable must read for anyone interested in knowing their mind.”―Judson Brewer MD, PhD, New York Times–bestselling author of Unwinding Anxiety
“Koch’s latest book brilliantly navigates the intricate landscape of our mind and our brain, offering insightful perspectives on the nature of conscious experiences, both ordinary as well as extraordinary ones.”―Hartmut Neven, founder and lead of Google’s quantum AI lab
“Then I Am Myself the World is the new record of note for the scientific understanding of consciousness. This is an elegant tableau, a travelogue of subjective experience grounded in the latest neuroscience and philosophy traversing religion, science, and a life dedicated to the biggest questions. Filled with crystalline prose, lucid explanation, and revelatory honesty, this book will continue to be read centuries from now.”―Patrick House, author of Nineteen Ways of Looking at Consciousness
“What would happen if a hardcore neuroscientist, with encyclopedic knowledge and four decades of experience in his field, were personally confronted with transformative mystical experiences carrying inevitable metaphysical implications? What would happen if the neuroscientist in question were open-minded, humble, but remained rigorously grounded in reason, evidence, and his hard-earned understanding of how consciousness relates to brain structures and function? What would he, the most preeminent professional of his generation, make of his extraordinary experiences? And what if, in addition, the neuroscientist was a modern renaissance man versed in physics, philosophy, the arts, the classics, and could pluck irresistibly evocative metaphors from the Western literary and artistic canon as if leisurely picking apples in early fall? This is what you will find in this treasured book, a whirlwind ride of insight after insight—so many they can’t possibly be all documented in footnotes—that will surprise and delight you from the get-go. ‘Primacy goes to consciousness, not to the objective world,’ he boldly states already on page two, in a prelude of things to come. ‘Everything else follows from there, including the realist assumption of the existence of objects, out ‘there,’ independent of my experiencing them.’ The book embodies the ever-evolving wisdom of a man whose intellectual prowess is only matched by his intellectual honesty. And this man, in the seventh decade of his scintillatingly productive life, has a lifetime of learning to share with you.”―Bernardo Kastrup, executive director, Essentia Foundation
“Koch’s first book was entitled The Quest for Consciousness. And such has been Koch’s life, an adventurer’s pursuit of a distant goal, undeterred by the prevailing winds. The reader will learn where this quest has led and, like the author, will be enriched by it. Koch, one of the most accomplished scientists of our time, a mind singularly open to learning and changing, here opens his soul, revealing his vast, scintillating appreciation of nature in all its forms. It is a touching, profound book. Which is as it should be, since consciousness touches everything and is everything we touch.”―Giulio Tononi, University of Wisconsin-Madison

The Power of One Thought with Special Guest Dr. Mohit Gupta
**Join globally respected cardiologist , Dr. Mohit Gupta, as we explore how our thoughts impact our physical health and overall well-being.**
Our thoughts are far more powerful than we often realize. A single thought has the capacity to influence our emotions, shape our health, strengthen or strain our relationships, and quietly guide the course of our lives.
The Power of One Thought is an insightful session that explores how conscious and intentional thinking impacts the brain, heart, and overall well-being. Through a thoughtful blend of scientific evidence and meditative practice, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how thought patterns influence stress, emotional resilience, mental clarity, and long-term health.
In this session, Dr. Mohit Gupta seamlessly integrates modern neuroscience and cardiology with the wisdom of Raj Yoga meditation, offering practical insights into emotional regulation, cardiovascular health, and the slowing of biological aging. He uses his own life stories of Belief and Resilience. The experience is designed to be reflective, engaging, and immediately applicable to both personal and professional life.
This session is ideal for individuals seeking inner clarity, emotional balance, and a deeper understanding of how one consciously chosen thought can create lasting transformation.

Energizing Walk for Busy People!
Join our weekly walking meetup to have fun, maintain a healthy lifestyle, meet new people, and enjoy the weather! We meet Saturdays at 10am, halfway between the Reston *Container Store* and *Not Your Average Joes* (by the metal benches), leaving no later than 10:05.
Every week, rain or shine, we start by walking along the Green Trail to reach Lake Anne Community Center. Once there, we pause for water/bio (often staying a few minutes extra from April-November, due to the local Farmer's Market), and then we circle Lake Anne and head back to our starting point. It's roughly 3-4 miles and takes about an hour and a half.
Afterwards, some members will often head to *Not Your Average Joes* or another local restaurant for a quick drink/meal before tackling the day.
This event is open to all ages and fitness levels. Dogs are welcome, and we recommend dressing for the weather (umbrella, water, snow shoes, hat, etc.) since we'll walk rain or shine. Also, feel free to bring a friend!
By signing up, you accept and assume all risks and responsibilities with this activity, and nobody will be held liable.
