How does Atomic Habits challenge existing paradigms or practices in the field of productivity and habit formation?

Atomic Habits challenges existing paradigms in the field of productivity and habit formation by introducing a new framework for understanding and changing habits. Instead of focusing on big, sweeping changes, the book emphasizes the power of small, incremental changes. It suggests that by making tiny adjustments to our daily routines, we can achieve remarkable results over time. This approach challenges the common belief that dramatic change requires dramatic action. Furthermore, the book provides practical strategies for making these small changes easier and more automatic, thereby challenging traditional views on willpower and self-discipline.
