Atomic Habits
James Clear
The habit book the rest of the shelf gets measured against. Clear starts from identity: a habit that matches who you believe you are runs on its own, and one that fights that belief breaks under stress. The four laws (Make It Obvious, Attractive, Easy, Satisfying) turn that claim into a design checklist you can run against any behavior.
