James Clear

James Clear is a writer and keynote speaker focused on habits, decision making, and continuous improvement. He is the author of "Atomic Habits," which has sold over 20 million copies worldwide and has been translated into more than 60 languages. Clear is a regular speaker at Fortune 500 companies and his work has been featured in publications such as TIME magazine, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and on "CBS This Morning." His popular “3-2-1” email newsletter is sent out each week to more than three million subscribers.

Clear doesn’t merely report the research of others. He tries out the concepts for himself as he experiments with building better habits as an entrepreneur, writer, and weightlifter. In the end, his talks end up being one-part storytelling, one-part academic research, and one-part personal experiment, forming a colorful blend of inspirational stories, academic science, and hard-earned wisdom.

Clear, one of the world’s leading experts on habit formation, is known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple behaviors that can be easily applied to daily life and work. In "Atomic Habits," which spent over 200 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, he draws on the most proven ideas from biology, psychology, and neuroscience to create an easy-to-understand guide for making good habits inevitable and bad habits impossible.

Audiences come away from his talks learning how to:

• Build a system for getting 1% better every day.

• Break bad habits and stick to good ones.

• Avoid the common mistakes most people make when changing habits.

• Overcome a lack of motivation and willpower.

• Develop a stronger identity and believe in yourself.

• Make time for new habits (even when life gets crazy).

• Design an environment to make success easier.

• Make tiny, easy changes that deliver big results.

• Get back on track when you get off course.

• Put these ideas into practice in real life.

Some of Clear’s engagements include Fortune 1000 and strategic clients such as American Express, AT&T, Cisco, Disney, ESPN, Google, Honda, IKEA, Microsoft, State Farm, and many more.

Clear is a supporter of the Against Malaria Foundation (AMF), donating five percent of his income to support AMF in distributing nets to protect children, pregnant mothers, and families from mosquitos carrying malaria. It is one of the most cost-effective ways to extend life and fulfills his bigger mission to spread healthy habits and help others realize their full potential.
