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.

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.

Whether you're Deaf, HoH, an interpreter, an ASL student, or just want to learn or practice American Sign Language (ASL), we welcome all levels of signers to come join us for an evening of ASL socializing and practice. This event occurs on the first and third Sundays of every month, in the heart of Fairfax County at the Fairfax Wegman's (corner of Route 29 and Monument Drive). We can be found on the upper level, typically near the stairs. We generally start around 7 pm. ASL beginners are welcome, but you should know the ASL alphabet and some basic signs - this is not an ASL class, but the more experienced signers are generally happy to help beginners learn and improve. There is no better way to develop your signing skills then by joining the conversation with other signers. There is a place for everyone to join, learn and practice. Regardless, we are always welcoming so don’t be discouraged to attend; this is very informal and new folks are always welcome. Note, some attendees arrive early and grab some of Wegman’s food for dinner, so you can combine a shopping trip with the ASL practice.
