THIS WEEK’S TOPIC:

Ever set a New Year’s resolution only to see your motivation fizzle out before February? You’re not alone! Did you know that by the end of January, almost half of us have already given up on our goals? This week, we’re bringing back one of our most popular episodes featuring behavioral scientist and best-selling author Dr. Katy Milkman. Join us as we tackle the science behind habit formation and discover practical strategies to make lasting changes and make those New Year’s goals stickier! Consider this episode your personal pep talk and action plan, all rolled into one!

ABOUT THIS WEEK’S GUEST:

Dr. Katy Milkman is a behavioral scientist and the author of “How to Change.” With an academic background intersecting engineering and psychology, Katy brings a unique perspective to the study of decision-making and behavior. She is passionate about understanding and aiding behavior change, overcoming biases, and fostering a growth mindset.

KEY TOPICS AND WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:

THE OBSTACLES TO CHANGE: Katy breaks down the common barriers to change, including ‘present bias’, habits, and lack of confidence. She dives deep into how these obstacles can obstruct personal growth and goal achievement.

THE IMPORTANCE OF CONFIDENCE: One of Katy’s favorite chapters from “How to Change” focuses on building confidence and boosting self-belief. 

OVERCOMING PRESENT BIAS: Discover strategies like temptation bundling and prioritizing fun in goal-setting to counteract present bias. Katy shares practical ways to make pursuing long-term objectives more enjoyable.

RESILIENCE AFTER FAILURE: Failure can be a significant setback, but it doesn’t have to be the end. Learn how to use fresh starts and emergency reserves to maintain momentum and bounce back after minor pitfalls.

THE POWER OF SOCIAL INFLUENCE: The company we keep has a massive influence on our behavior. Find out how social norms and peer support can help drive positive change.

MENTORSHIP AND ADVISING OTHERS: Giving advice not only helps the recipient but also builds the advisor’s confidence and skills. Katy explains how this reciprocal benefit can help both mentors and mentees achieve their goals.

NAVIGATING PARENTING AND INFLUENCE: Learn effective strategies for motivating kids and managing the delicate balance of parental influence without causing backlash.
