As part of our ongoing Virtual Chat series, we’re kicking off a 2021 Extension Foundation Book Club. On a quarterly basis, we’ll host a one-hour moderated virtual chat to discuss that quarter’s book selection.

Our first Book Club selection is an ideal read for January. Atomic Habits: Tiny Changes, Remarkable Results, by James Clear, focuses on the science of building small habits to create compounding beneficial effects over time. The book has received rave reviews, appearing on these renowned bestseller lists: The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Amazon Charts, and Audible. It’s been published in more than 20 languages.

Here’s the book description:

An atomic habitis a regular practice or routine that is not only small and easy to do but is also the source of incredible power; a component of the system of compound growth. Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don't want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change.”

Our moderator for the Atomic Habitsdiscussion is Scott Reed, PhD. Scott is the emeritus Vice Provost for University Outreach and Engagement at Oregon State University, where he was responsible for directing Cooperative Extension. He also served as a Professor of Forest Engineering, Resources and Management. Scott currently serves as an Extension Foundation catalyst.

Our host is Rose Hayden-Smith, Extension Foundation’s digital engagement specialist and an emerita Cooperative Extension academic with the University of California ANR.

Is this a one time only discussion? I am interested but have 3 yearly projects due on the 15th.  I would join for a second session if you were having one.

Hi Jennifer. For this book, this will be the only session. However, this is intended to be a book discussion series we'll have throughout the year.

Is there a way to sign up for regular notifications for this series? I think this is good idea and would like to also share with colleagues. Is there a schedule for the other reads and sessions?

Please provide instructions on 'how' and 'where' to access the recording- Needing explicit details as I've looked and clicked onlink on 'Learn' - "Calendar" and still just come up with the chat participant log- but no recording link-

Thanks

Hi Carol,

There is no recording available. This was not a video event - it is a chat event which is entirely text-based. You can access a copy of the transcript here.

Automated message: Thanks for sharing this event! If you can, please remember to update this listing after your event with a link to the recording. You can do that by coming back to your event here in Connect Extension, clicking "Manage Event" and then "Edit Event." From there, I suggest adding the words "Recording Available Here" to the top of your event and linking out to the recording. Example: Recording Available Here

Thanks for helping us make this an awesome archive of resources for Cooperative Extension!

FAQs for Learn Calendar Users:

Will a recording be available?

That is entirely up to the host of this webinar/online event. If this is an eXtension Foundation hosted event - we will update this calendar listing with a link to the recording usually within 48 hours. Keep in mind, many of the offerings found here in Connect Extension are brought to you by your colleagues across the system. While we encourage them to update their listings with recordings, it is entirely up to them.

How do I know if it is an eXtension-hosted event?

eXtension posts publicly our events to two calendars - the eXtension Foundation Member Calendar and the Opportunities for Cooperative Extension Calendar.  All other events coming from across Cooperative Extension are posted to the Learn Calendar or to one of the regional calendars. All calendars populate to the same main calendar on Connect Extension. To tell the difference between what events are posted to what calendars easily, you'll see the name of the calendar posted above the title of the event if you scroll to the top.

What if I have trouble accessing this webinar?

Please contact the author of this calendar event. The individual that posted this event will have their username automatically listed at the bottom of the body of their post, right above the social media buttons. When you hover over that name, you are able to send them a private message.
